I've got the HW97K in .22 and love it... I've taken a good 12 squirrels from my yard with it. Even the body shots take them right out. Great gun. Finally found my last springer.
Cracking video Dave. Nice respect to the raptor too. I too have a 97KT Blackline currently being tuned by Sandwell Field Sports. Can't wait to get it back
Chuffin' great shooting Dave- Well done :)
Hi Dave, I`ve been shooting the HW 97 K .177 using JSB Exact Express 7.87g, 4.52 , what a combination that is, - extremely accurate and hard hitting. Great shooting as per again mate .
Brill dave absolutely love your vids out of all Iv seen your certainly a dab hand with the rifle great vid as always can't wAit for next one atvb av
Thanks shootervermin,as they say ,you cant practice enough, when i think im right i still plink...atvb Dave
some cracking shooting there mate . love the hw 97 a great looking gun
F.A Thanks mate, still not sure about everyday use but a cracking gun to take on any job that needs doing,atb Dave
This man is one of the best! 👍🇬🇧👍
Well done Sir - fantastic shooting on them nasty Corvids🔫
Nice shooting mate, I really enjoyed your pest control. Keep it up.
Great to watch using HW97K and not a PCP, proper shooting 👍👍
'Straight to sleep' .. lot's of ohhh's & ahhhh's .. you starting to 'creek' Dave ... lol
Stunning as always.
atb t ..
Hi sir T , Yes mate, all this outdoor time laying in all sorts off cr4p ,wet cold mornings , frosty mornings, sitting for hours in the same position, heat beating you stupid on summer days,it gets to my old bones but would i give it up....NEVER while theres air to breathe...thanks sir T take care atvb Dave

Thumbs up,nice shooting Dave that 97 is as smooth as a smooth thing. :)
Hi Robert, yes its really smooth,ive shot pcps with more recoil then the way this hw97 has settled,atvb Dave
Lovely shooting and a lovely gun
Picking up one tomorrow
Hello. most shots you did are fare more than 50 yd ! are they ? beautiful shooting, 90 % in standing position !!!
great!
Enjoyed the vid .- thanks! - have just ordered a 97k Blackline in .177 to add to my collection.
Yes, I DID enjoy your springer session. Guys like you and the Irish bloke who hunt with the nice PCPs make it look easy. Hell, maybe it IS easy, and that's why you figure you could use a challenge and give them a BIT more of a chance.
That hawk was thinking: "It was raining crows a minute ago, but now I can't find any. ??!!
Nice video. More springer hunting please.
Thanks Jeremy , i must admit that i do not make enough spring action footage , ive now a decent tri-pod for the cam now so more to be expected mate, thanks atb Dave
like seeing springers still in good use! great shots! keep it up!
Thanks Leonidas , have you watched my HW80 vs crows , worth a watch...atvb Dave
Will you do more footage using the 97kt
Some good kills their Dave,got rid of my pcp,s,and got myself a little HW99s,that started life as a sfs imp,but the previous owner,or someone else,had been having a mess about with it,and it twanged.So sent it to Dave Price for one of his tune ups,and the accuracy of this little springer is fantastic,up their with any of my pcp,s...Enjoyed the video,just goes to show what a sringer can do in the field...
good shooting and with spring power .I ordered a 97 kt black .22 yesterday .
Hi Chris , hope you enjoy using it mate , a tuning kit makes alot of difference , they are good out the box but they do like a little TLC , atb Dave
+MrDAVERATZ hi Dave thanks for the advice is a v mach kit ok
Ive fitted vmach and TBT kit in different hw97 , not much different , TBT are cheaper and he got good service record , either one really just dont rush it , a good clean and polish will smooth the action making loading and shooting smoother , atb Dave
+MrDAVERATZ thanks allot 👍subscribed
+MrDAVERATZ hi Dave put 500 pellets through my new 97 now .it's starting to show r10 accuracy but boy you have to work for it .very rewarding gun love it atb
Love my regular 97k, now wanting the black one in .20
Hello Dave. Thankyou for your footage and advice, great read! I've just begun shooting with the same rifle but have a lot to learn. You recommended an 8.4 grain pellet which are fairly difficult to source on the internet. Are they twice as heavy as a 4 grain pellet? At thirty to forty yards, do you aim above the crows in view of pellet trajectory? Any advice would be fantastic. Thank you, Ian.
Nice shooting. It takes a lot of skills to shoot springers like that.
Thanks Will , atb Dave
good shooting dave,love your vids .
great shooting, well done
nice to see the raptor around good shooting with the springer bud..
Many thanks M.B, It does feel good again,atb Dave
One more Q . How I get away the "tweng " of my HW 77k ? My gunsmith cut off 1 inch from the
23 joule spring and now it got a perfect 16 J but it has the same tweng sound and recoil than before . What is it??
Thanks Dave
Nice shooting, Dave!
What setup do you use and how far is it approximately to the trees? I'm having the same rifle and want to try some corvid work as well. By now I'm not sure about which level to upgrade it to. 12ft/lb or 16+ft/lb. What are you shooting with? Seems to work fine for you!
Nice shooting got a hw97k myself
Thanks Mark atb Dave
Great shooting Dave, the hw 97 is a cracking gun, i own and shoot many springers
mostly for target shooting, as i think if you can shoot a springer accurately then it improves your shooting, great vid Dave i hope you are well, and please lets see one or more vids of the hw97 in action
atvb brian
Hi brian , il be out most of this month as the beech nuts are rippening and ive just the spot for an pigeon fest,atvb Dave
nice shots mate as always
Great shooting Dave, what distance would you say you were at ?
When can we expect some more footage ?
great shooting great video and keep shooting the crows and the rifle say it all cheers
Very good mr dave
Nice bit of shooting, thinking of going for 177 springer or gas ram torn between the 97 like yours or the hw 90. What’s your thoughts ont job?
Good shooting Dave. Would you recommend the Viper scope? Thinking of getting a Daystate package it comes with a Hawke Eclipse 4-16x50 IR AO Mil-Dot have you ever used this sight? Many thanks.
HI Mike , i do prefer the fixed mag of the 10x44 scope , more than plenty for hunting air rifles , id have more if the mrs went on holiday...atb Dave
Fantastic shooting dave. I think your 97 would give most pcp's a run for their money mate. Sure gave the crows a good whack as well. Nice to see the other wildlife enjoying your marksmanship too. Keep em coming old boy.
Thanks Kevvy , it really shoots well for a springer and the hold is getting there, not used to the hold of the hws stock being t/h, a few more trips are on the cards,atb Dave
Hi Dave great shooting mate can I ask u how much u payed for your hw 97 it cheers
very nice shots
Hi this springer hw is really quiet ! Did you do something with it ? Thanks for you answer!
how far away is the trees from where your shooting?
Good shooting
03.07, I speak crow.. (Translation) Alright? No.. Not really, Mr Dave ratz is out and about, you know what a good shot he is! Dave Ratz????? I'm off! I like my brains in one piece and inside my skull!! See ya later...
what would you say is the maximum distance to kill something with a weihrauch hw97kt
fantastic mr dave wen you shot crows and magpie.s nice video.s
Thank you Derk atb Dave
have you made any more videos?? good to see..
Hi John , theres about 60 floating about on here , enjoy watching Atvb Dave
.177 vs .22 what is best for hunting? 12ft
I picked up the hw97kt blackline yesterday. Waiting for my scope to arrive monday for it (nikko sterling 4.5-14x50 AO IR £109.99). Never had or fired an air rifle, the gun is second hand in nice condition, been tuned apparently too, came with cheap 6-24x50 scope and gunbag for £200 off a mate. Feels heavy and solid, will enjoy getting used to holding and shooting it. It is strictly for target shooting for me, I haven't got the heart to kill birds lol.
How far were the birds you think?
Great vids!
Hi Scott a good choice of rifle , crows varied from 45-55yrds good luck atb Dave
How far were them shots made and what fps is the HW97 shooting at.
What optical mounts?
great vid m8 what did u do to tune it up m8 and did u use an running kit
+dewi bowen Hi dewi , it has a v-mach tune , and a good internal polish + lube , atb Dave
Hello! I bought the same model HW97. What kind of pellet you recommend?
+Fox Epc Morning , i was using jsb 8.4s in this footage , atb Dave
What kind of scope is that? It looks grand.
Hi Mate its a Hawe sidewinder 10x44 mate atb Dave
Ime thinking of getting hw 97 kt blacklist for pest control
Yes I did.
Hi Dave, always nice to see your video’s mate, how do you like the .177 trajectory compared to the .22 👍
Hi Philip. ive shot most calibers of guns so most times it only takes a few hours to remember my holds, i do like then trajectory of the 177 but im not really fussy as long as i can put the shot where it counts, in barns my fav is a 25 cal, but im not fussed ,hole in head is hole in head in my eyes mate.atvb Dave
Nice shooting Dave, just a hint of a Sppppringggg Piinggg picked up by the camera I detect :)
Hi matt, yes a little ping is heard ,im not sure but after a few more tins it should settle a little more,then il give it a good once over,atb Dave
nice video nice rifle
Thank you , atb Dave
Why do you use the 177 rather than the 22
16 joule?
Hi , yes 16joules atb Dave
nice video
Don’t know how you managed to load that rifle with them scopes, I had to buy compact scopes for mine.
Nice rifle, same as mine👍
I have a beeman R1 (hw80) and a R9 (hw95) .177 also try the H&N fieldt target trophy 8.6 grains .177 or JSB 8.4 both are very good there is no difference between my weihrauch and your weihrauch trust me the H&N pellets will work very well nice rifle
The crows around my parts would have found you and taught all the other crows to never land in that tree...lol
Excellent shooting by the way
Thanks bud , it helps if they dont know where you are , there is so many of them also , atb Dave
Is your HW97KT in sub 12 foot pound.
What distance are you shooting from? it looks far?
Hi , ranges vary between 45-55yrds , hope that helps atbDave
Blooming safety!!!! :-) :-) :-)
awaiting delivery of my new 97kt stainless, was going to get a BSA lightning xl se, but saw the light so to speak. lol.
Hi LFC , good choice , ive both of them and the 97 kicks butt on all things , they are good out the box but a little tune works wonders , good luck atb Dave
@@MrDAVERATZ almost bought either tx200hc or LGU, but didn't fancy the noisy bear trap. and smaller load ing Port.. will be looking into an adjustable but plate soon after the 97 arrives, are they much of an improvement?? . thanks
@@lfcmarkeb7124 Hi yes i found the little adjustment on the eye level helped out , only dropped it 3/4 " and it felt good to shoulder with a good eye level , atb Dave
@@MrDAVERATZ thanks, mine will be the nickel plated one also, about care of the action and barrel, just wipe down dry duster, or wipe with oily rag like a blued action? .. thanks
I use oily rag , also keep it in a zip lock bag to stop the rag drying , use and use again ...atb Dave
Sigues estando contento con el rifle?
just one question from a novice..anyone feel free to reply but today i got insured with the basa and got permission..built a nice hide with a 3d ghillie suit..sat from the hours of 10.30-maybe2pm..not a bird in sight. This is the 1st october. The site i use is usually full of crows n all sorts with nests on display. My question is advice. Did i go out at the wrong time (is dawn/dusk better) and i have 2 decoys ordered off ebay and next time il sling a load of bread near them too but today as a disaster. Didnt see a single bird! Weather was sunny. Any response would be hugely appreciated
oh and it was a small wood, on the edge of a field. Hide was excelent im not worried about the being spotted point..more the why i didnt see any animals wihin 10.30-2pm!
Hi Nick , Try just visiting the area on different times with a set of binos , just sit and watch their patterns of feed and roost , you will soon learn the times to shoot , atb Dave
Top stuff, Now a .22 HW80 vid please :)
Hi Angof, im stood by the front door awaiting a hw 20 cal to arrive from you bud , mines a 22 cal but that could be de-dusted for a trip, hope you + mrs gof are well mate,atvb Dave
Good djob👍
How far was the average shot?
Which headsize mate 51 52 53?
Morning , 52 but mine dont mind either , just what i was using at the time atb Dave
Would you choose the HW97 or an Air Arms TX 200 ?
Hi , answer to that is, the rifle i can hit what im aiming at , the trouble is folks listen to other folks opinion , thats why we all drive different cars , we all like something and hate others , both shoot very well if in good order , both are weighty [ if ya a wimp ] i find the hold better on the 97 but ive long arms , , ease of load the same , Tune ability the same , But for pics and Selfies it got to be the TX ....lol whichever fits and feels good , and you shoot it well ... that one ....atb Dave
@@MrDAVERATZ Thank You.
top shooting
great shots Ratz
Thanks Mike,atb Dave
Great video dave what's she running at sounds nice
Hi Niel, at the moment using jsb 8.4grns its sat at 11.7 fpe, ive got to keep an eye on it for a few more tins yet,safety side of uk laws,atb Dave
The bird of prey will have plenty too eat since half of them are stuck in the braches lol
You still shooting dave,not seen any videos for age's?
nice shooting looking at a 97 my self 177 or 22 ??????
Hi R.M , biggest question thats never been answered .177 or .22 , i prefer .22 when out shooting , just my choice no other reason , atb Dave
cheers Dave I think I'll go .22 keep the vids coming proper job
rat man
Go .177
I think i gonna get this rifle, i been watching most you tube vids about this gun like fews months, i don’t think i go wrong with this...
Hi , yes its a very nice rifle , in the top 10 so cant be wrong , enjoy atb Dave
What distance were you shooting at?
Hi mate, the shots were between 40-54yrds ,Dave
Lovely gun, beautiful gun,..But I would be concerned about the shiny stainless steel fittings. I thought Crow's can see a bright penny at a thousand meters ; doesn't this make it a tad difficult to shoot crows when you''re out in the field?
Obviously not, here on this video, you've had a great day shooting!
Hi Reg , they dont seem to notice that , never had a problem , i think its down to how much movement is made more than a shinny barrel , many thanks mate atb Dave
@@MrDAVERATZ I'm surprised, you actually answered a question.
Joules?
ótimos tiros parabens
what does tuning mean? how do you do it?
you have to polish all the internals of the gun to a mirror finish piston .piston sleave in and out ends of the spring all the triger sears too makes a massive diffrence!!!
You are too much Dave! That springer shooting like a pcp! Lol
Hi John, thanks mate,its really settled in well, finding the pellet it likes eating was an easy task also, i keep telling folks , take advice on pellets to use but dont bet your house on another mans advice,its worth spending out for a few brands and then spending a few hours to find your guns pellet diet, it increases your shooting potential no end, you confidence will grow like jolly green giants sweetcorn,atvb Dave
I believe that on the right pellets for sure! My hatsan 125 vortex sniper best pellet is H&N Barracuda Match but Crossman a close second! I mean close like the H& N shoots a .25" group @ 30 yds but the Crossman shoots a .50" 3 shot group at 30 yds so I use the crossmans for everyday use and for hunting rabbits I will take out the H&N ! All I have to do is run chairgun for the different settings
How do you dispose of the crows. Also how is it legal to shoot the crows?
Hi ,as this is a feed yard the crows get burnt , the crows are shot to protect food stock as thy raid the grain stores and bins , mainly for health & safety reasons , atb Dave
@@MrDAVERATZ Thanks for explaining. Im a newbie and just trying to get my head around what is legal to shoot and where.
@@Elfin4 Hi bud , no harm in asking questions , have a look at the BASC Sight , it gives you a list of what and when you can shoot , but you must have a valid reason and permission , try other means to deter them also , most folks think its vermin shoot it , you must try other methods 1st , then all else fails shoot the buggers , good luck and never be afraid to ask , atb Dave
@@MrDAVERATZ Thanks for helping to explain. Like I said and Im a newbie just trying to get my head around all the shooting requirements in the UK. Once I save up some pennies Im going to get an FAC cert and air rifle. Hopefully it will be acceptable to the Police to say on the forms that I am looking to use on a range and for hunting even without any permissions being secured. My plan is to get proficient on the range first at different ranges and understand the gun and scope holdovers etc. before I even attempt any pest shooting. Don't want to injure any animals unnecessary , so would want to be happy on the range first.
@@Elfin4 Good answer bud , confidence is 90% of shooting , learn it well bud atb Dave
How is it hitting that distance??
Hi Grant just alot of practice mate , atb Dave
MrDAVERATZ it's very good who did ya tune?? R did u do it??
MrDAVERATZ do u tune them?
Hi yes bud , a little extra polish never hurt , the better the finish the smoother the action , i now use the T.B.T TUNE KITS , with a little work they are good kits , atb Dave
Awesome shooting! I’ve never eaten crow. Does it taste like chicken?
I’ve heard crow tastes pretty bad and is very gamey in flavor
seem a little far... good shooting..
Do you take them home, and eat them ?
I’ve heard crow meat is pretty disgusting
grnsi
You will eat that?
The ping certainly isn't affecting its accuracy :)
Hi Matt, its becomes silent to me after a few shots, i think il keep the ding just to prove its my hw doing the shooting...lol, its really accurate over distance,atvb Dave
Do you eat them???
No mate , i shoot these as a safty measure , its a feed yard and they contaminate the feeds with their poo , atb Dave
Strait to sleep.. hahaha
Цена, сколько стоит она?
I've shot a few crows here in Texas but next day I would go outside and they would make a sound like if they know I shot a few.......
