I agree I grew up on his channel being the fact I’m almost 20 now we’re the same damn age but I have to say Ted has kept me entertained for years it makes me happy to see him enjoy life doing what he loves
Time really does fly. I remember subbing when you had less than 300 subscribers because I was fascinated with the development of air rifles. Haven’t missed a single video since.
Been a while since I’ve seen a video of yours pop up in my feed, and just wanted to say thanks. Found you back in probably 2010, and fell down the airgun rabbit hole hard. Never counted, but guessing you caused me to spend $20k+ on a sport no one I’ve ever met liked or understood - just through your videos. FX, Daystate, Airguns of Arizona, heck even Casio of Japan (because I bought one of those too) all owe you a commission or at least a pat on the back. Good to see your are still doing it, and appear to be well. Stay Gold 👍👊🇺🇸🤘
You got me hooked on these PCPs. I went to Extreme Benchrest because of your videos about it. Now you have convinced me I need a slug setup. I may need to get a 2nd job to fund all this cool stuff! Thanks Ted. 🤣👍
No one has prompted me to spend more money than your videos and I do thank you for the information and instruction you provide. I just received my FX Impact Mk 3 with the 800mm barrel, power block, and tuned for the NSA 31.2 grain slugs. I will be posting videos with it soon, weather permitting.
Mr. Schneider, those “poor” birds are the equivalent of rats with wings. They cause hundreds of thousands in agriculture damage, urban destruction, and defacement and contribute toward the spread of disease. I wonder if you feel just as warm-hearted towards rats and roaches. Watch something you understand.
your the reason I bought a FX in the first place. I've been watching you for 10 years now and will not stop. great work on your video editing and your work on the channel.
As a kid i always liked airguns plinking and shooting birds in the back yard but i lost interest the older i got and then one day about 5 years years ago one of your bird shooting videos popped up and bam just like that i was hooked. Thank you Ted for bringing me back in to a childhood hobby. Maybe one day soon i can find the time to start making airgun videos again as i once did but for now work and life has that stalled.
so happy to see you posting again, you missed a good 5 hit when you where waiting for that one to step in front. Crazy shots, crazy rig. Missed ya man! Glad to see ya back
Slight clockwise cant to the hold. Ref elev turret and back wall. Maybe put a bubble next to that rangefinder. The 3:30 miss had major right side recoil. Hollow slugs have a nice pressure zone in the hollow and that allows for some great accuracy and ballistics. Once the slug gets thru the bird, its now deflected off angle and is probably whistling like those deer alert car stick ons. Its the transonic velocities and stability of yours that got my interest. Maybe it has something to do with the skirt and CG with the hollow vs the attack angle. My .223 with 69gr sierra matchking hpbt at 750m from a 1:9twist would be transonic and miss with any wind due to instability. We're getting close to air powered .300 blackout territory.
Ted my Brother you are the one that got me in to Airguns i remember when you were popping Starling's and Pigeon with your 25 Benjamin Marauder with that Green Mtn Barrel Hope your Doing well God Bless your the Best Airgun Hunter on All Social media 💪🙏💯
Way to go Ted! Been watching your videos from the beginning. Insanely and lethally accurate! There's no "luck" with you, rather science and math to dial in and account for all variables! Utmost respect for you and your abilities. Love when you make / edit and post the carnage!
Hi Ted, thanks for another great video. I really enjoyed seeing you and hearing your comments. Please do a video on the 'Base Optics Range Finder." I'd be very interested in how it works, how to set it up and where to get it. I'm terrible at knowing distances.
Ted! It’s good to see you!! Your having to much fun old man. I’ve been watching you for years it’s funny that you call yourself an old man I’m 60yrs old I’m old your still a young man. Great content as usual.
Love how there is so much carnage that even when there is a ricochet or a miss, the corpse of a bird in the background gets flung like a rag doll. You’ll need an excavator for the hole to bury all of them! Great to have you back, Ted!
Hello from Wales UK, Been with you from the beginning buddy, a Daystate man but topping my air, rim and centre fires with Elements scopes. Still loving it dude. 2 a.m. here.
I was 13 when I started watching your vids in 2013…insane how time flies. Happy anniversary dude…I love your vids if I haven’t said it enough. I will single handedly fight off all haters for you my man…remember that the fans outnumber the haters. We’ll always be watchin!
I've been watching you since the early Edgun Matador days. Your channel has come a long way, and you are the best airgun channel on TH-cam bar none. I've just started shooting Nielsen slugs through my Daystate Pulsar HP rifles, driven partly from your videos. The .178/15s shoot under 1/2" at 50 yards, literally dropping slugs onto the crosshairs. The .25/33.6s shoot under 1/2" and I'm 2 out of 2 with it on grey squirrels, both at 50 yards during this year's squirrel safari in the Ouachita Mountains in west Arkansas, one a chest shot and one a neck shot, both dead instantly and the THWOCK of the slug is louder than the report of the Pulsar. You're shooting faster than I am... I'm getting right at 900 ft/sec with the slugs in both calibers, but I'm shooting with the factory HIGH settings. Honestly, as hard as these things hit I don't know if I need anything faster and I don't want to go supersonic. I have the .2165/24.8 NSAs for my .22 Air Wolf but haven't fired them yet... I imagine they'll do in the mid-900 ft/sec range. I have several accurate .22 rifles (Kimbers, Winchester 52s, CZs with Lilja barrels, a Turbo Specialties-based hunting rifle) but the Daystates do as good or better, are quieter than a suppressed .22 shooting subsonic match ammo, and even slugs are far cheaper than good .22 target ammo. There's no handicap from using my Pulsars to hunt. I remember you talked about why you started with PCP air rifles and how farmers appreciated the lack of penetration of grain silos and barn roofs... are you going to lose that shooting a 25 grain slug at 1100 ft/sec? But, based on your video and the birds you're blowing in half, they do hit hard. I would love to find a farm with a starling problem, or a pigeon problem, or even a rat problem. But, at least this year it's gonna be squirrels in the National Forest and then iguanas in S Florida..
Ted, this past summer I went to walmart and bought a daisy 880 and 5 pounds of BBs to learn on. No shooting experience. Never been hunting. I took that thing camping and it was the most fun thing ever at the camp sight with my nephews. dialing in the scope for the first time and then schooling my nephews who were using a similar rifle from 20 years ago (my older brothers) with iron sights. They were real talkative until I got it shooting straight. They were having a blast with it too after I handed it to them to try. We shot a whole 6 pack of cans in half before the weekend was over. I've been watching since 2017 but this was the year I jumped in and it was a blast. I honestly cant wait till next year cause I am gonna try out some pellets you have recommended before and I am gonna slap a bigger scope on this for longer range shots.
Been watching from the start when I TH-camd “shooting pest birds” and one of your first videos popped up. I grew up on a farm and we were overrun with starlings, rabbits, and other pest birds. You got me into air rifles and they significantly made a positive impact on the farm without scaring the livestock or having to worry too much about overshot. Thanks for everything!
Over the years there are some people I subscribe to who I don't touch their sparatic videos anymore. You're one that's always fun to see an upload from.
Ted, please, make more videos. I’m very picky with what I spend my YT time on, and your pest control videos are my absolute favorites. Thank you for being the magnificent person you are. Cheers from Denmark
I’ve been watching your videos since I was 10 or 11 years old and now I’m 23 and still get excited to see you go out and give so much information and have fun doing the things we love. I got a Benjamin discovery for my birthday back in 2014 because I’d watch your air gun reviews. Now I’m 23 and fixing up my discovery so I can squirrel hunt like how I did years ago. Thanks Ted you’re an inspiration to keep going even when you’re old🙏🏽
Hey Ted! I’ve recently bought an M3 .22 700mm and im shooting NSA 20.2gr at 960fps. Gives me a 4 mags before I even hit the first reg, and whisper quiet, love that setup. Very accurate, I’ve not been missing my spinners at 100y but they are a little more sensitive for wind
Thanks for the video, always good to have my original airgun master back at it.... So the range finder in this episode has a neat trick to get perfectly on target, if you have night vision optics. Steve Allen shows how to do it in one of his videos. The range finder emits an IR pulse when in scan mode. This IR pulse can be seen through night vision scope. In the dark, place gun in stable rest, use a light to get scope on target. Turn range finder on in scan mode. With night vision you can allign IR pulse to target where scope is pointing. You may have to turn off light to see IR pulse. Hope this helps for future setup.. the first video I watched was FX Revolution and was hooked. Could use some good Slug data for FX Crown, not AEAC he does not dive deep like you do...
Thanks for the video, we use one of those laser range finders with nv. A tip I gained from RussDouglass222 for nv use is to turn the unit by 90 degrees thereby giving a horizontal laser signature rather than a vertical to improve accuracy. I believe the innards can be rotated to keep the display correct, but as my skills and aspirations differ I read mine on the squiff.
I am using a AEA Challenger 30 cal. shooting Nielson's 61.5 grain, 0.303 dia slug. I am getting 1,028 FPS at 144.35 FPE. At 100 yards this gun is grouping 5 shots at 3/4".
I've been watching since you posted "Starlings: Why I shoot them". The only way I can describe how accurate and fast you are at hunting now since then is absolutely frightening. You're the man Ted, best channel on YT
Thanks for the video. I'm still shooting with a Benjamin Discovery. I did get a starling last year. I popped one of about sixty that showed up one morning. Once I made the shot, the rest flew away. Of course, I'm just using the cheap 14.3 grain pellets.
Ted have you ever thought about getting a mosquito net, and a shade overhang cover that you can clip on to the car you're lying next to? Mosquito mesh = fix the fly problem Shade cover = fix the sun problem Dont want you to get cancer from that direct sunlight. Want you to stick around for much longer! Big love
They are pests introduced to America and Australia by the home sick British they destroy so much fruit crops its not funny costing farmers millions upon millions in crop damage .What do you suggest try and capture all of them and send them back to Britain may be you can go to some farms around you area and donate Mosquito mesh or even go there and scare the birds away
You were one of the first channels I subscribed to oh so many years ago. It’s been one heck of a journey! I have enjoyed every minute of your content and have learned far more than I ever imagined. That being said: DAAAAAAAAAMN! Those slugs hit like they were dropped from orbit! Truly stunning performance. I have been successfully running H&N Barracuda (0.97 - 1.0g) copper jacket pellets through my humble little Marauder. I’m curious if slugs will boost the often average performance into something good. As you mentioned the pellets, at longer ranges, fall off hard. Anything over 70 yards (for my set up) becomes an exercise in luck and neck angles. As much fun as it is to pretend I’m Artillery I’d like flatter trajectories at range. I know the Marauder isn’t exceedingly great but for now it’s what I have and provides a fun challenge. I look forward to your next installment! Stay safe!
Have enjoyed your videos and appreciated your knowledge for many years. You introduced me to modern PCP rifles. I now own an FX Maverick and two Impact M3s. Keep the content coming.
Crazy how you're punching chunks of flesh off of the birds! Also, I was quite surprised to see how small they are, when you pour them out of the bucket! They look at least twice the size through the scope!
Hiya bud great to see another video from you always enjoy your videos and tech stuff, I know I'd like to see more of your videos and I dare say alot of other people feel the same way here's to hoping that you will make some more like you used to, anyway keep up the great work pal and happy hunting ooh and I'm watching from the UK
Awesome video Ted. Thank you. Great to have you back. I use a rangefinder like that predominantly at night time and through a night vision setup you can see the laser pulse. Extremely handy when popping rats and rabbits. Great setup
I had a dream about your videos. I used to watch you years ago but my recommendations would never suggest you. Glad to see you still clearing out some pests.
As a note, my .25 M3 with the slug liner shooting 35 grain Knockouts had a far better BC than it realistically should (.17+), so your comment about how it’s working when it shouldn’t matches. There’s some sort of fairy pixie dust they install at the factory that just makes magic happen I swear.
@@TedsHoldOver Hi Ted. I just like to tell ther is spamers cluttering in the comments. Maby it is easyer for you to report them. But i have trye to report all i have found. They trye to make it look like it is you doing give aways. 😡
That was an enjoyable video 😎: I’d like to try one of those rangefinders! Going to hunt iguanas in a few weeks with an M3 .22! Good video after a week of editing; thanks for sharing!
Hey Ted, great video! Use an old trick to keep the flies away. Put about 2 oz of vanilla in a small spray bottle and fill with 6 oz of water. Spray it on and the flies won't land. And a bonus, it smells good!
Same ammo out of my M3 800mm tuned a little tamer on my gun at 1020fps shooting like a laser beam as well. The fact that this setup at 300 yards still packs as much energy as my compact shooting hades pellets out of the muzzle is just astonishing.
That *no man's land* you had built up there was something fierce, bud! I've been on your channel since day one, I'll be here til the day you decide to retire. 👌 Keep pluggin away!
Ive been watching since i was 9 years old. Im 19 now and ive graduated from spring guns to real guns. I like watching your videos to remind me how to use data correctly when handloading. Very well done videos. See ya!
Flies is exactly the reason why I always have jacket on along with a sun hat or w/e is that thing called. Even when shooting in summer when its 95 degrees. If its not too much fabric you wont really overheat much and I find it being much more comfortable than flies and mosquitos eating me alive :D
@@DinnerForkTongue ,I thought about that this past summer at my uncles woods.More so,for the horse flies.Still havent ruled that out .They are bad in certain times of the day,in certain areas,and for a limited time on the calendar which is why I havent yet.I wouldnt need it or use it much,but…………
It feels like it's more and more rare but it very time I see a Ted's hold over video it makes me so happy I dread to think how long I've been subscribed but thank you for all the content
Thanks for the vid. I have had a bad run with those LRF first one stopped working same day just went dead. The second one I mounted it to my rifle and was setting it up and the screen went on me both never made it out to the field never got of the range bench. Not going for a third just ordered a hand held one shame as it is a good idea.
I've been at this 12 years now. Thanks for growing old/up/out with me. 🤗
quite graphic, hope it pass YT police.
the true legend is you
Half my life watching and I won’t stop!!
This channel always makes me so happy. I wish you'd post more, but appreciate when you do. You went video game mode today. It was fun to watch
No worry's 🤣
Is just me, or does everyone else feel like a kid at Christmas time when Ted uploads his videos?
I remember growing up on a dairy farm watching your videos when I was 10 now 19 and still happy whenever I see you're still posting🤘🙏
I agree I grew up on his channel being the fact I’m almost 20 now we’re the same damn age but I have to say Ted has kept me entertained for years it makes me happy to see him enjoy life doing what he loves

Good to see your are still doing it, and appear to be well. Stay Gold 👍👊🇺🇸🤘
Dam. He got you too huh? Worse than me. I feel a little better now.
You got me hooked on these PCPs. I went to Extreme Benchrest because of your videos about it. Now you have convinced me I need a slug setup. I may need to get a 2nd job to fund all this cool stuff! Thanks Ted. 🤣👍
No one has prompted me to spend more money than your videos and I do thank you for the information and instruction you provide. I just received my FX Impact Mk 3 with the 800mm barrel, power block, and tuned for the NSA 31.2 grain slugs. I will be posting videos with it soon, weather permitting.
It's always like Christmas when you drop a bird shooting video
does he do this for fun and practice? or do these birds need to be removed for some reason?
@@mrschnider6521 Starlings are an invasive, non-native species in the US, and their droppings pose a risk to the cattle seen in the video.
It’s like Christmas when you shoot a bird dropping video.
Mr. Schneider, those “poor” birds are the equivalent of rats with wings. They cause hundreds of thousands in agriculture damage, urban destruction, and defacement and contribute toward the spread of disease. I wonder if you feel just as warm-hearted towards rats and roaches. Watch something you understand.
@@mrschnider6521 Invasive pest birds.
This was one of your best videos. A lot of carnage but informational as well. Outstanding equipment.

I enjoy geeking out every time you show your gun, and with the additional range finder makes it look super slick.
Slight clockwise cant to the hold. Ref elev turret and back wall. Maybe put a bubble next to that rangefinder. The 3:30 miss had major right side recoil. Hollow slugs have a nice pressure zone in the hollow and that allows for some great accuracy and ballistics. Once the slug gets thru the bird, its now deflected off angle and is probably whistling like those deer alert car stick ons. Its the transonic velocities and stability of yours that got my interest. Maybe it has something to do with the skirt and CG with the hollow vs the attack angle. My .223 with 69gr sierra matchking hpbt at 750m from a 1:9twist would be transonic and miss with any wind due to instability. We're getting close to air powered .300 blackout territory.
You need netting for the bugs, an umbrella for the sun, and MANPADs for the F-16s.
Ted is the most effective barn cat ever 😂
its nice to know there are people out there doing their part to keep the ecosystem in balence.

Hi Ted, thanks for another great video. I really enjoyed seeing you and hearing your comments. Please do a video on the 'Base Optics Range Finder." I'd be very interested in how it works, how to set it up and where to get it. I'm terrible at knowing distances.

Also, I was quite surprised to see how small they are, when you pour them out of the bucket! They look at least twice the size through the scope!
Slugs are no joke. They're basically firearm bullets.
Dude I'm always waiting for your videos and seeing your new setups keep it up
Thank Goodness...! Ted, we needed this...!
Hiya bud great to see another video from you always enjoy your videos and tech stuff, I know I'd like to see more of your videos and I dare say alot of other people feel the same way here's to hoping that you will make some more like you used to, anyway keep up the great work pal and happy hunting ooh and I'm watching from the UK
Thank you for making these videos Ted.
I find it so relaxing watching and giggling along

It was a regular Starling apocalypse, thanks for that.
That slow motion walk into the round at 14:22 was pure gold.
@tedsholdover. seems a little scammy
Awesome video Ted. Thank you. Great to have you back. I use a rangefinder like that predominantly at night time and through a night vision setup you can see the laser pulse. Extremely handy when popping rats and rabbits. Great setup
I had a dream about your videos. I used to watch you years ago but my recommendations would never suggest you. Glad to see you still clearing out some pests.
Good seein ya doin what ya do. Those hits are explosive, bird parts raining everywhere. 1100 fps is smoking !
As a note, my .25 M3 with the slug liner shooting 35 grain Knockouts had a far better BC than it realistically should (.17+), so your comment about how it’s working when it shouldn’t matches. There’s some sort of fairy pixie dust they install at the factory that just makes magic happen I swear.
Great videos please keep them coming. Love the ding noise that really adds to the videos.
Hi ted! Glad to hear about you again :)
Astonishing accurate gun. Your experience on shot placement keeps me glued to your hunts.
Litterally remember you being my second subscription ever good to see another video man
Keep shooting
Thanks for the video, Ted.
Sure do wish I had spent more time in my younger years shooting pellet guns. Way late to the game, but I'm learning.
There is always time. Even when/if the doc tells me I have a month to live, I’m still gonna keep learning. 👍

Hi Ted.
I just like to tell ther is spamers cluttering in the comments. Maby it is easyer for you to report them. But i have trye to report all i have found. They trye to make it look like it is you doing give aways. 😡
Been watching ya since the Ole Edgun was fairly new. Even before the first neoprene pellet holder. Loved the flying chunks in this one.
Same here.
Ted is an absolute legend.
That was an enjoyable video 😎: I’d like to try one of those rangefinders! Going to hunt iguanas in a few weeks with an M3 .22!
Good video after a week of editing; thanks for sharing!
3:44 perfect time for some speed shooting ! Haha
@@LowkeyAirgunner that would have been EPIC
Hey Ted, great video! Use an old trick to keep the flies away. Put about 2 oz of vanilla in a small spray bottle and fill with 6 oz of water. Spray it on and the flies won't land. And a bonus, it smells good!
Not even into any of your hobbies but sure enjoy watching you nerd out and many starlings meeting their maker!
Same ammo out of my M3 800mm tuned a little tamer on my gun at 1020fps shooting like a laser beam as well. The fact that this setup at 300 yards still packs as much energy as my compact shooting hades pellets out of the muzzle is just astonishing.
So glad to see new content. I've been with you since the Edgun Marador days and I've always loved your videos.
❤😅🐝✨Bumble was cheering you on! On beehalf of the natives , thank you for caring ❤🙏
Always good to watch your adventures... you're a little too happy smashing those birds Sir... 🤣
I’ve just started getting into air rifles. Could you give us a complete breakdown on everything you have on this rifle?
The amount of power carried through those slugs is amazing. What gets swatted at 70 yards is being crushed at 50 yards!
It's bird killin time...I am giddy with anticipation and look forward to a high bird count.
That noise is the pellet tumbling out the back side of the impact. Great pellets staying intact after impact.
I find the impact shot incredibly brutal in a good way. The bids are morsilated. Incredible. Thx for sharing.
New word for my vocabulary!
That *no man's land* you had built up there was something fierce, bud! I've been on your channel since day one, I'll be here til the day you decide to retire. 👌 Keep pluggin away!
Ive been watching since i was 9 years old. Im 19 now and ive graduated from spring guns to real guns. I like watching your videos to remind me how to use data correctly when handloading. Very well done videos. See ya!
Ted, what's the shot count per fill at this speed/power setting? What's the volume of the tank?
700 cc bottle.
Have I really been subbed for 10 years? Jesus
😂
Looks like you are hitting them with a .17 HMR with the chunks flying!
Flies is exactly the reason why I always have jacket on along with a sun hat or w/e is that thing called. Even when shooting in summer when its 95 degrees. If its not too much fabric you wont really overheat much and I find it being much more comfortable than flies and mosquitos eating me alive :D
Cant do the bundled up in summer thing.I wish I could,because like Ted in this video,I pay a heavy price every summer even with heavy Deet.
If you're standing at one spot, a mosquito net is preferable.
@@DinnerForkTongue ,I thought about that this past summer at my uncles woods.More so,for the horse flies.Still havent ruled that out .They are bad in certain times of the day,in certain areas,and for a limited time on the calendar which is why I havent yet.I wouldnt need it or use it much,but…………
Thanks for the Veterans/ B day present ! Missed ya Man!
Awesome to see the channel is still going :)
Been watching your videos since I was a teen. I always love seeing a new upload from you.
It feels like it's more and more rare but it very time I see a Ted's hold over video it makes me so happy I dread to think how long I've been subscribed but thank you for all the content
About time you made another vid mate love the channel fella cheers from down under
Thanks for the vid. I have had a bad run with those LRF first one stopped working same day just went dead. The second one I mounted it to my rifle and was setting it up and the screen went on me both never made it out to the field never got of the range bench. Not going for a third just ordered a hand held one shame as it is a good idea.
I like the part at 2:00 and 12:54. That's some mighty fine shooting there, Ted.
Good to see a new video. Vaporized a few, nice shooting.
