    I am a Brit living in North America for the last 13 years. Watch all your videos they're great. Had a bit of a giggle at this one as I heard the word Faff, which I haven't heard in 13 years.

    As always Matt, an excellent show. I have learned a lot from your videos and your book. My shooting partner and I have recently had our first opportunity to shoot squirrels at a golf course over the winter when it has been closed for play. We can,t put any feeders or a hide up but have had to adopt a more relaxed wandering approach. It seems to be working though as the squirrels are obviously acclimatised to humans. In 5 afternoon sessions we've shot 52 squirrels. I hope I'll have a chance to talk with you at the Northern shooting show next weekend.

      Hi Mitchell.
      Sounds like you're doing a good job.
      Afraid I wasn't able to make it to the NSS. Hopefully catch up another time.
      All the best. Mat

    A very enjoyable show and great shooting Mr. Manning. I've got a Squirrel feeder set up in my back yard (garden) for photographing wildlife, but sadly where I live in the States we are not permitted to hunt Squirrels over a feeder even during their "Permitted Season". I would love to find a way to get Starling birds *introduced pest here* into a feeder like that though and lower their numbers. I really like that little Chronograph, looks great for Air Guns, but not so much for large caliber (calibre) firearms, I would think. Keep up the great series, cheers William C. in the U.S.A.

    It's good to see these pests being taken out of the eco system but good shooting like this.
    I am also impressed with the Daystate Wolverine too, ( the Shooter's prowess not being ignored here either! )

    If that Chronograph is accurate to =/- 1.3%, then at 740fps, the error could be 9.65fps either way! ??

    My local park has no red squirrels at all left. The grey squirrel has decimated the red squirrel population. We so need a cull and a reintroduction of the native red species.

    Smashing episode there Mat! and that Daystate Wolverine looks an awesome bit of kit.
    I'm not so sure about the AirForceOne Chrono, at £119 its smack in the middle of the Shooting Chronys which can also be used to record ballistic impact down range, have a wider FPE range and can be used albeit carefully with shotguns which is great for reloaders.

    • @MikeHurney
      @MikeHurney 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The AFO Chrony doesn't need a sett of knitting needles or diffusers to work in differing light conditions and is way more portable

    • @amigaman9433
      @amigaman9433 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Mike, quite, the Chrony has a pretty bad rep for light requirements but works well outdoors with the standard or extended defuser in bright sunshine or overcast but not so good indoors and at 8x5x3 inches folded up its quite portable.
      I noticed the AFO was previously branded Listone L1000, I wonder if it had other names it went under also

    Hi Matt,i couldn't help noticing you was using a Richter Optics scope,how did it cope with usage,clearly had no impact on your ability to bring down those pesky squirrels, it seemed a bit at odds with a Premium Rifle & Budget scope?

    • @theshootingshow
      @theshootingshow  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a really good scope - especially for the money. I certainly didn't find that it hampered the Wolverine's performance.

    You have been shooting squirrels for a couple of years now. Any idea if the numbers are decreasing? Or is it a never ending battle?

    • @theshootingshow
      @theshootingshow  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It makes a huge difference but you have to keep the pressure on - back off and they will move back in. We hardly ever see grey squirrels in some of the woods I shoot now - and they were woods that produced bags of eight or ten squirrels per session in the early days.
      All the best. Mat
