This is Moe on my wife's account. I used to have 5 hunting permissions just loaded with pigeons, starlings and sparrows. Then we had to move 2 hours south because of work and school for my children. It's like a barren wasteland where I live down here as far as hunting. But boy do I enjoy watching the content! Thank you for taking the time to film this and share it! It's very enjoyable!
Hey, Moe. I really appreciate the comment, means a lot coming from a fellow-shooter 🙂 I'm sorry you can't shoot where you stay, brother... I know how this feels from experience. I'm glad I manage to entertain and I hope you get to go out and take some shots soon 👍 Stay tuned, brother, more videos coming very soon.
Ha ha ha...at -12:30 minutes left in your video there is a chimney pipe “FULL OF WHOLES”! Ha ha ha OMG THATS HYSTERICAL MY DUDE!🤣😁😂👍🤙💯 You all shot the hell out of it! Ha ha ha. Now that’s something I would do just because I could! OMG I’m dying laughing! Thanks...I needed that!
Heath, there's no chimney at that time of the video, but I know which one you're referring to 🙂 I said in another video of mine - it wasn't us. There was a guy shooting at that permission with a Gamo break barrel and he caused a lot of damage. Same thing on my new permission, hence the multiple rules and warning by the management 😉 No matter where I go to ask for a permission, there's always been a guy before me who did some stupid things with a break barrel, hence the owners' unwillingness.
Good video! Watching 68 Whiskey has convinced me that for "straight down" pigeons a shot into the craw above the breast is most effective. for side shot the POA would be just above the wing join. One shot, three pigeons, nice work.
Great video, you always have great video and great shooting. But I am curious though why you are so drawn to the white pidgeon the most lol were you attacked by a white pidgeon as a child or something LMAO I am kidding of course lol it's just funny.
😄😄 Okay, you really cracked me up, bud 😄 There was a discussion not so long ago here in the comments section. Some people told me to never shoot whiteys because they're an easier pray for the raptors, so I was depriving the birds of prey of their sustenance 😄 A lot of hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts said that was a bunch of nonsense, of course 😉 So I was targeting those for a while just to "indulge" both parties 😉 Plus I told them I am a "man of prey" so I'm targeting those more easily too 😉 Thanks, friend 🤝
Alex! I don't know how somehow I missed this video, I was checking something to watch and I saw the thumbnail and I was thinking, hold on! I haven't seen that one! Buddy, this is one of the best hunting videos I've seen in a long time! I'm not saying it because the outfit! I LOVE IT :) but your content is top notch! No BS and straight to the point. I like the image you are getting with the new setup, the slow mo are really good now! Loved the take you did to see the one falling like a rock! Yes my friend! Thanks for this epic video!
Thank you for the kind comment, friend ☺ I really need to remember to adjust the parallax carefully before each shot 😉 This vid was at 120 fps, I'll try the 240 fps setting soon. Also not the best lens, but it's what EV had in stock right now. Also sth to improve one day. Thanks again, friend!
Great shooting and videography. Appreciate your skills and effort. Glad to see you back up and going. I am very excited as I just got a Texan .308. Now for some long range pest shooting on a farm! Crows are really causing havoc with new corn.
Another great pesting video. Your usual excellent shooting and video quality, lots of dead pigeons and three treats: - the triple kill (I knew that was going to be a triple, btw) - the unbelievable "thud" on the Sik camera - the anti-snowflake mask.
Excellent shooting my friend! Yeah, when at work, I'm constantly thinking of my gear, shooting... Most of the money goes to my gear. Good thing nowadays I don't a have girlfriend lol! But you know what, once you get all that you need, it's basically just pellets and odds and ends that one must buy. Although I just purchased the Element Optics Helix, in 6-24X50 to upgrade my air rifle, and I am very surprised and happy with this purchase, you can't beat it for the price! Keep safe!
Thank you for the most kind comment ☺ Congtats on the new purchase, staright shooting! Wait until you have a family, friend, then it really gets tough with the hobby 😉 Stay safe and healthy!
Relieved to see you back. We were getting concerned. 30C is a cool day here in Texas, Alex :). Congrats on your triple kill!!! That should put you in a league of your own. Great vid and thanks for sharing.
Hey, Richard, thank you for your concern 🙂 I'm fine and I hope so are you. When I was editing the video it dawned on me that 30° Celsius is nothing compared to the summer in the southern states 🙂
Middle east bro ... kurdistan iraq to be exact if you have a weather app just type kalar and you know am telling the truth and we are used to this high temperatures during summer although it’s extremely exhausting but what can we do brother ? You gotta a solution for me ?🧐
@@AirRifleActivities lol, you are too kind. I would love to shoot pigeons again. My best outing was 5-6 years ago inside the barn of a local dairy farm where he had pigeons infestation. We cleaned house in one day (two buckets full) and no more pigeons since.
Well, Phillip, as you probably know, the guys at RTI have come up with a LW barrel in .22 that's dedicated to shooting pellets at long ranges and high velocities. It's polygonal, has a slower twist rate and a wider choke - that's the magic behind it, as far as I know. They say JSB Monsters Redesigned 25.39 grains at up to 1030 fps. That's 60 fpe - more than the current power setting of my R5M 😉 If you take the Performance version with the externally adjustable hammer spring and reg, in .22 you'll get a wide range of power settings for different conditions - IF you're willing to play often with your power settings, that is. A .25 barrel with similar specs is still being developed, they tell me. So it's kinda hard to tell you what to choose... Perhaps a .22 with that polygonal LW of theirs would give you a gun that can act both as a .22 and .25, depending on the settings and the projectile you've chosen 😉 If you want to shoot slugs, RTI say go with the regular barrel they offer. In that case I'd go for .22 definitely - that's because in Europe the major manufacturers JSB and H&N offer slugs in .22 only so far, and it's very expensive and usually difficult to get the American and Russian brands of slugs. Plus JSB and H&N are taking too log to release their .25 slugs - call me paranoid, but think the reason is the development of those is not going so well... I hope this helps and I didn't bring further confusion to the equation 😉
@@AirRifleActivities Thank You for your expertise💥 you are the 3rd person that has told me go with the 22 CAL thanks , will be looking for your next video💥
Wow a TRIPLE KILL, never ever have i seen that done before mate, congrats on that one, Brilliant shot, and as always Great video and first class shooting my friend, glad you got your problems with the lenses sorted out, Stay safe my friend, Cheers
The triple kill amazing, i ask a question months ago to possible this or not and here is the answer :) Nice to see you again (and your real half face) , great shots amazing distances... Another great video. :)
That’s the reason why I hate Ali express. Is a lot of waiting and you never know what you gonna get..is a hit or miss.. however a awesome shooting brother. Congrats..👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you, friend 🙂 A great comment from a fellow shooter and creator! You've made a great choice with that L2. I may have one coming my way at the end of the year or beginning of next one, haven't made up my mind yet. Stay safe, buddy, and straight shooting!
Hey, Tino 🙂 Thanks for watching and the nice comment. I hope you enjoy your summer too, summer holiday and all, if possible at this time. Stay safe too.
I don't mind answering again, bud 🙂 We eat some of them, some we leave to the farmyard cats and most we give to friends who just love pigeon. One of them mixes pigeon breasts with pork and makes sausages, believe it or not 😄
@@AirRifleActivities sounds delicious! We eat dove frequently and I've heard pigeon is similar though I've never tried it personally. Been looking for an elevator or feed yard near me that could use a little pigeon control to do the same. Looks like a fun way to stock the freezer with a good corn-fed addition/alternative to the my limited seasonal supply of dove. Thanks for the response. 😉👍👍
What a awesome video Alex hit em hard with the R5M 25 cal ... bunch of pigeons there I wish I was there shooting them as well thanks for sharing buddy bsafe
@@AirRifleActivities I'll try lol thanks buddy trying to get use to it way different kinda air gun from my Taipan the Taipan is heavy doesn't move when you shoot this gun if you don't hold on tight it moves big time I guess that's way every one buys all these accessories for there impacts not me going to keep it plan and simple
@@chrisfigueroa3361, couldn't agree more, bud. I still don't understand why would anyone want to turn the gun into a Christmas tree. I'm glad it's not just me😄
@@AirRifleActivities 🤣🤣🤣 some do look koo but some look freaking dumb all kinds of parts and accessories lol might as well buy a car and pimp that out ... I'm laughing at the Christmas tree thing lmao
On ss adapter - do pellets stay in the loading ring swept outwards as well as inside the action, under all angles ? THX ! What about rust protection on the silo wall after your action ?
I've been shooting on that site for 2 years now. No complains about any damages. If the loading ring is out the pellet may fall backwards. There's a piece of plastic at the front of the adapter to prevent the pellet from falling out in that direction.
DON'T GIVE THOSE BIRDS TO THAT DAMN CAT!!!!! Build you a smoker, squab was hunted to extinction because it's one of the most delicious animals, pigeon is a close stand in.👍. Great video
Thank you for watching and for your comment, buddy. Ferals definitely won't go extinct with pest control sessions at farms and granaries, worry not. They reproduce at an incredible rate throughout the entire year. We don't shoot them everywhere, just on those locations where their unsanitary presence is undesired for safety reasons.
Hi, Alex ! ( You know, that is one seriously articulate cat you have there, right...?!?) ...OK...and then we go from the cat to [BANG} some strange kind of coffee-table art/sculpture/piece... like the BattleStar Gallactica grown out of a recently unearthed ground root....[ "... Was ist das für ein seltsames Ding?..."] ??? but wait...?...is that a barrel?... (seriously, is it? ...that shroud's thicker than Lilly Munster's... lol ).. and...aahhmmm... a trigger?...what's?....ooohhhhh...Nowww I see it....it's ...like... a puppy?!?...as in BULL-puppy....uuhhmm....this may be sacriligeous, but the more I gaze at that rifle, the more and more I start to chuckle.... But seriously, I believe that this is the kind of video that really helps a channel grow, and promotes a sense of friendship and family. With you sharing the interesting ups-and-downs of creating/hosting (not sure of the right term) a channel like this, and getting the vids made and 'out there', it is FAR more interesting than a more 'edited' and 'polished' look at the channel. Your narrative style and slightly wry sense of humor are very engaging and enjoyable. I posted a comment on one of your vids recently, (not sure under which ID/time-of-day I was logged in as) but it concerned your review of a rifle (the Kricket II Tactical , I believe) and how it was interesting to see that you were as well- grounded in the mechanical side of the rifles as well as being a truly dedicated-to-quality shooter. I had also made a comment a month or so ago, about how hearing the wind thru the mic can really make your viewers feel like we're there with you! I believe that sense of "sharing it with us" is a big part of the reason folks come back to your channel, and I hope you maintain that AND the tech stuff AND the shooting vids AND the free give-a-ways AND the ...(uummmmm....wait, where was I??) ...as time goes on. May I make a small suggestion? Rather than that music from 16:00 or so onwards, how about just letting the sounds of the wind blow through? It won't have to synch with too much and it would fit the video better. Just a thought... lol Cheers!! :D
David, first of all let me say I recall both these comments you're referring to 🙂 Comments like yours are quite hard to forget - comprehensive, well-grounded, scientific even, and full of analogies that are hard to come to mind, which is a good thing 🙂 I enjoy your posts no less than you enjoying the videos 🙂 So thank you both for watching and posting 🤝 I'll consider your advice, but in all honesty a lot viewers are thrown off by the wind howling in the camera mic 🤷 I keep telling my buddies that it's exactly what I'm trying to do in my vids - make the viewer feel as if he or she is there with me 🙂 If they wanted to watch another high tech episode of the Avengers full of visual effects, they'd go to the movie theater 😄 Cheers, buddy.
Great to see you posting and congrats on the new setup. With a good scope cam and slow motion you need to make some tracer pellets now. Good shooting as always especially in the wind and heat l was going this afternoon but the heat is just too much.
@@AirRifleActivities I'm dizzy most of the time because of a health issue and the heat makes it worse. You made some amazing shots on this trip and had me laughing at some of them and the commentary. Oh like the shirt, too, good to see Erlis made it across the pond 😁
Hi Alex, Enjoyable video! I like your outfit! I need to look into something like what you are wearing if for no other reason than to use it when I go on walks around my neighborhood. Congratulations on the triple kill! I have wondered when that would happen. :) Personally, I have not seen anything wrong with your previous videos, requiring any kind of upgrade in equipment, but I am not the one having to put them together. I am just happy that you do this.
Yeah, bud, it was about time 😄 Now I have to get used to adjusting the parallax carefully before each shot. I also cleaned my sensor last night. I noticed some hazy specks of dust on the footage.
Hey, Wayne🙂 Nice to have you watching, buddy. These are reference points for holdover and adjusting for wind. In other words, these help you aim in windy conditions and when shooting at distances longer then your zero, without the need to do turret tracking before every shot. Mine is a Mil reticle, so the distances between these dots are in Milradians.
Congrats on your triple. They don’t happen often. I have only ever had one in my whole life and it was an accident. I didn’t see the third starling. Very cool.
Thanks, Heath. I absutely agree with you. The soft lead deforms easily, so you can't count on the pellet maintaining its initial trajectory after the first impact.
Air Rifle Activities I assure you that if I wasn’t using a JSB Redesigned pellet and would have been using a lighter pellet that shot would never have happened for me. The starlings were setting side by side on a wire, damn near touching each other. You never know what that pellet will do after it hits something. A bone or gravel in their crop could have sent it in another direction.
One of the Eagle Vision lenses. They had the cheaper one in stock only, and I didn't want to wait any longer. I might get the better and more expensive one soon.
@@AirRifleActivities I have seen a review with H&H slugs .... they performed well .... the diameter with the slugs play a big rile .... you should try .217 and .216
@@we7shewe7she67 yes, HN slugs are perhaps the top performers among the ones in serial production. But 😉 My Matador was .25 cal and you're talking about .22 cal slugs. Also you should know that HN slugs in .22 come in .217 and .218, not .216. Spoiler alert: in a week I will release a video of me and my boys testing and shooting feral pigeons with the HN slugs 🙂 Stay tuned, buddy! Thanks.
Congratulations on the triple kill don't let haters bring u down yr doing a great job 💪 I don't know why people come to watch these videos when they are not into this stuff
Welcome back Man! I would think if you were to use a .22 caliber airgun at the distances you shoot you would have a lot more wounded birds than you would with the .25. Especially one generating 55 ft lbs like your R5M. Great shooting as always. Love your videos.
Thank you kindly, Robert 🙂 I think you're right about the caliber, although these days there are some .22 cal pcps out there that generate a lot more energy than my R5M 😉 Still, I'd like to think the larger cross section of the .25 pellet helps buck the wind.
USB power packs are the key to dead batteries. I modified a waterproof case to accept a charging lead so I could plug the charging lead in. OK it won't work underwater but it's fine even in heavy rain. Never suffered lack of power ever since. I use SJ4000 and SJ5000 cameras at a fraction of the cost of GoPro and pretty damn good they are too at what they do. Regardless of that I also have about 10 replacement batteries. Surely you really should carry a couple of spare batteries.
Nice shooting mate... The Edgun R5M are amazingly accurate.. You got the short version I prefer the long version .. Barrel longer and more quiet and more accurate
Thank you for the nice comment, Ashraf. You are right about the comparison between the Standard and the Long. It's just that I wanted the gun to be more compact.
Yes, bud, it's quite big. More of a granary than a farm. Sorry, but I can't say where this place is, the owners prefer that I do not disclose the location. Thanks for your understanding.
Sure thing, buddy. I'd advise you to get an Eagle Vision lens, if you are in Europe. Google "Eagle Vision scope mount" and you'll see the website in the search results.
I can tell you from experience that a pigeon does not fly away after being hit by a 300 win mag, just saying 🤣 What I am curious about is what would be your favourite Sky Rat caliber and why? I see a lot of people still using the old faithful .177 or the .22 and a few with the .25.
I honestly prefer the .25 or a heavy .22 projectile - bucks wind better and hits hard over long distances too, thus making it more versatile. That being said, if I'm indoors or shooting close range, I reduce the power level drastically. You can't do that with a .25, there's just not good light pellet in that cal. Better to have both 😄 .177? I always say it seems more of a competition caliber to me.
@@AirRifleActivities Thanks mate, yeah i am thinking either 22 or 25 but you make an interesting point better to have both so all options and scenarios are covered. 🤔
Another great video. Outstanding shooting. Its kind of you to narrate in English - which you speak perfectly. One question though: I am new to your videos. Why do you target white pigeons? Please keep up the great work!
Thank you, John, and welcome to the channel 🙂 Yes, you got it right, English is not my native tongue, and I'm glad you think I speak it well enough. The white ones - I don't target them with priority, it's just that there was a discussion in the comments section of several videos of mine. A lot of viewers told me not to shoot the whiteys, others told me to not pay attention and target them, so every now and then I say a few words on the topic and shoot one or two of these 😉 Wanna make sure the guys know I'm following the comments section 😉
I've been gone for a while and just got back so I'm catching up on videos. It looks like your pigeons on your permission did some multiplying, lots of multiplying actually. Lots of time to check out the 35. Great video .
Hold under at 45m distance??? I usually hold over? The only time I hold under is shooting on an incline. Your first shot looked a little too low even though you hit it. I suppose it depends on the distance you zeroed at.
Hey, bud. It's hard to say. But I can give some pointers. The gun is an Edgun Matador R5M Standard .25. You can check the price at edgun.shop. The scope is an Optisan EVX 6-24x50 FFP Mil. I suppose you can find it at the Optics Planet or some other US based shop. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and happy holidays 🎄

Look for videos of mine with "SIK" in their title 🙂 They're dedicated to pigeons hitting the ground hard 😉
Nice dude much love keep up the good work and videos.
Thanks, buddy, I appreciate the interest and nice words 🙂
Nice to see you working again.
Perfect ''triple'!
Enjoy the summer-time Alex.
Greetings from Germany.
Hey, Tino 🙂 Thanks for watching and the nice comment. I hope you enjoy your summer too, summer holiday and all, if possible at this time. Stay safe too.
You may have answered this before but, what do you do with all the pigeons you collect?
I don't mind answering again, bud 🙂 We eat some of them, some we leave to the farmyard cats and most we give to friends who just love pigeon. One of them mixes pigeon breasts with pork and makes sausages, believe it or not 😄
@@AirRifleActivities sounds delicious! We eat dove frequently and I've heard pigeon is similar though I've never tried it personally. Been looking for an elevator or feed yard near me that could use a little pigeon control to do the same. Looks like a fun way to stock the freezer with a good corn-fed addition/alternative to the my limited seasonal supply of dove. Thanks for the response. 😉👍👍
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍 Your the best Alex! This cat ist very cute. I wish you all the best. Urs
Thank you, Urs, I knew you'd like it 😄
Молодец! Эдган хорошая винтовка в своём классе, как для спорта, так и для охоты. И спасибо за качественное видео 👍
Привет аирганерам из России ✌️
Спасибо за просмотр и за хороший комментарий 🙂 Мои наилучшие пожелания российским любители пневматики 👍
Another great video, thanks for sharing
And I thank you for watching, Mike, I appreciate it 🙂
THE TRIPLE KILL IS THE FIRST I'VE EVER SEEN ON ANY PIGEON HUNTING VLOG. VERY WELL DONE INDEED.... CHEERS FROM MUMBAI,INDIA.
Thank you, Adrian. Very kind of you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
Yessss baby
Right on, brother, thanks 😄

What a awesome video Alex hit em hard with the R5M 25 cal ... bunch of pigeons there I wish I was there shooting them as well thanks for sharing buddy bsafe
I appreciate it, Chris, thanks 🙂 You stay safe too, buddy, and give'em hell with the new Impact 🎯
@@AirRifleActivities I'll try lol thanks buddy trying to get use to it way different kinda air gun from my Taipan the Taipan is heavy doesn't move when you shoot this gun if you don't hold on tight it moves big time I guess that's way every one buys all these accessories for there impacts not me going to keep it plan and simple
@@chrisfigueroa3361, couldn't agree more, bud. I still don't understand why would anyone want to turn the gun into a Christmas tree. I'm glad it's not just me😄
@@AirRifleActivities 🤣🤣🤣 some do look koo but some look freaking dumb all kinds of parts and accessories lol might as well buy a car and pimp that out ... I'm laughing at the Christmas tree thing lmao
Ottimo lavoro. Molti uccelli grazie a te hanno smesso di cacare per sempre.
Nice job 🇮🇹
Yes, friend, them defecating everywhere and on everything is a huge problem at farms and granaries. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍
19:20 - brilliant shot! congratulations
Thanks, brother 🙂 👍
On ss adapter - do pellets stay in the loading ring swept outwards as well as inside the action, under all angles ? THX !
What about rust protection on the silo wall after your action ?
I've been shooting on that site for 2 years now. No complains about any damages. If the loading ring is out the pellet may fall backwards. There's a piece of plastic at the front of the adapter to prevent the pellet from falling out in that direction.
Great footage from the scope ❤️💯👍
Thanks, buddy 🙂🤝
Air Rifle Activities thanks for replying back it means a lot 🙏🏽
@@dayshawnrogers2360, you're welcome. I always try to communicate with my viewers and subscribers, to the best of my ability 🙂
Air Rifle Activities yes sir bless you and your channel for greatness 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
DON'T GIVE THOSE BIRDS TO THAT DAMN CAT!!!!!
Build you a smoker, squab was hunted to extinction because it's one of the most delicious animals, pigeon is a close stand in.👍. Great video
Thank you for watching and for your comment, buddy. Ferals definitely won't go extinct with pest control sessions at farms and granaries, worry not. They reproduce at an incredible rate throughout the entire year. We don't shoot them everywhere, just on those locations where their unsanitary presence is undesired for safety reasons.
Hi, Alex ! ( You know, that is one seriously articulate cat you have there, right...?!?)
...OK...and then we go from the cat to [BANG} some strange kind of coffee-table art/sculpture/piece... like the BattleStar Gallactica grown out of a recently unearthed ground root....[ "... Was ist das für ein seltsames Ding?..."] ??? but wait...?...is that a barrel?... (seriously, is it? ...that shroud's thicker than Lilly Munster's... lol ).. and...aahhmmm... a trigger?...what's?....ooohhhhh...Nowww I see it....it's ...like... a puppy?!?...as in BULL-puppy....uuhhmm....this may be sacriligeous, but the more I gaze at that rifle, the more and more I start to chuckle....
But seriously, I believe that this is the kind of video that really helps a channel grow, and promotes a sense of friendship and family. With you sharing the interesting ups-and-downs of creating/hosting (not sure of the right term) a channel like this, and getting the vids made and 'out there', it is FAR more interesting than a more 'edited' and 'polished' look at the channel. Your narrative style and slightly wry sense of humor are very engaging and enjoyable.
I posted a comment on one of your vids recently, (not sure under which ID/time-of-day I was logged in as) but it concerned your review of a rifle (the Kricket II Tactical , I believe) and how it was interesting to see that you were as well- grounded in the mechanical side of the rifles as well as being a truly dedicated-to-quality shooter.
I had also made a comment a month or so ago, about how hearing the wind thru the mic can really make your viewers feel like we're there with you! I believe that sense of "sharing it with us" is a big part of the reason folks come back to your channel, and I hope you maintain that AND the tech stuff AND the shooting vids AND the free give-a-ways AND the ...(uummmmm....wait, where was I??) ...as time goes on.
May I make a small suggestion? Rather than that music from 16:00 or so onwards, how about just letting the sounds of the wind blow through? It won't have to synch with too much and it would fit the video better. Just a thought... lol
Cheers!! :D
David, first of all let me say I recall both these comments you're referring to 🙂 Comments like yours are quite hard to forget - comprehensive, well-grounded, scientific even, and full of analogies that are hard to come to mind, which is a good thing 🙂 I enjoy your posts no less than you enjoying the videos 🙂 So thank you both for watching and posting 🤝
I'll consider your advice, but in all honesty a lot viewers are thrown off by the wind howling in the camera mic 🤷
I keep telling my buddies that it's exactly what I'm trying to do in my vids - make the viewer feel as if he or she is there with me 🙂 If they wanted to watch another high tech episode of the Avengers full of visual effects, they'd go to the movie theater 😄 Cheers, buddy.
Nice shooting Alex. Congratulations on the triple.
Much obliged, Shane, thank you 😊
Great to see you posting and congrats on the new setup. With a good scope cam and slow motion you need to make some tracer pellets now. Good shooting as always especially in the wind and heat l was going this afternoon but the heat is just too much.
I feel you, brother, I was dizzy when I got home after this outing. We need to be careful in this weather... Thanks for the nice comment!
@@AirRifleActivities I'm dizzy most of the time because of a health issue and the heat makes it worse. You made some amazing shots on this trip and had me laughing at some of them and the commentary. Oh like the shirt, too, good to see Erlis made it across the pond 😁
Hi Alex, Enjoyable video! I like your outfit! I need to look into something like what you are wearing if for no other reason than to use it when I go on walks around my neighborhood.
Congratulations on the triple kill! I have wondered when that would happen. :)
Personally, I have not seen anything wrong with your previous videos, requiring any kind of upgrade in equipment, but I am not the one having to put them together. I am just happy that you do this.
Thanks big time, Bill 🙂 Yes, the triple is a fact at last. As for the face scarf, you can find those for 1 or 2 bucks a piece on the Aliexpress.
o my god,u finally have the gopro black 7...haha ! waiting for the next perfect slow motion viedo
Yeah, bud, it was about time 😄 Now I have to get used to adjusting the parallax carefully before each shot. I also cleaned my sensor last night. I noticed some hazy specks of dust on the footage.
Hi Alex!
Glad to see you again my friend.
It looked like a target rich environment.
What are the little Black dots in the bottom half of your scope?
Hey, Wayne🙂 Nice to have you watching, buddy. These are reference points for holdover and adjusting for wind. In other words, these help you aim in windy conditions and when shooting at distances longer then your zero, without the need to do turret tracking before every shot. Mine is a Mil reticle, so the distances between these dots are in Milradians.
Buenísimo triple kill, soy de Perú, me divierto mucho con tus videos, más por favor 🙏🏻 👋🏻
Gracias amablemente, amigo ☺️🤝 Me alegra que te gusten los videos, pronto habrá más.
Awesome shooting, glad your back, missed your new videos. Had to watch reruns:-)
Hey, Mike 🙂 So nice of you! I'm honored to have such loyal viewers🤝 Another video coming soon 🎬
Congrats on your triple. They don’t happen often. I have only ever had one in my whole life and it was an accident. I didn’t see the third starling. Very cool.
Thanks, Heath. I absutely agree with you. The soft lead deforms easily, so you can't count on the pellet maintaining its initial trajectory after the first impact.
Air Rifle Activities I assure you that if I wasn’t using a JSB Redesigned pellet and would have been using a lighter pellet that shot would never have happened for me. The starlings were setting side by side on a wire, damn near touching each other. You never know what that pellet will do after it hits something. A bone or gravel in their crop could have sent it in another direction.
So what lens did you buy finally?
One of the Eagle Vision lenses. They had the cheaper one in stock only, and I didn't want to wait any longer. I might get the better and more expensive one soon.
Cat: "I don't care what people say but these pigeons taste good"
Absolutely, mate 😉
Hello, very good video. Please tell me where to buy the single shot charger for my Edgun. Thanks for your help. A greeting.
Thank you, buddy. Here's a link to the online store where I got mine: www.carm-magazines.com/
Have you tried shooting slugs with Matador r5m? how did it perform ?
Just once, some very light and short NSA - 26 grains. It performed horrendously. Try some other brands and weights, if you so choose.
@@AirRifleActivities I have seen a review with H&H slugs .... they performed well .... the diameter with the slugs play a big rile .... you should try .217 and .216
@@we7shewe7she67 yes, HN slugs are perhaps the top performers among the ones in serial production. But 😉 My Matador was .25 cal and you're talking about .22 cal slugs. Also you should know that HN slugs in .22 come in .217 and .218, not .216. Spoiler alert: in a week I will release a video of me and my boys testing and shooting feral pigeons with the HN slugs 🙂 Stay tuned, buddy! Thanks.
@@AirRifleActivities that would be great
Great shooting video,triple, double and singles 🤪🥴👍

Awesome shooting and a great triple kill
Thank you, Donald 🙂
Congratulations on the triple kill don't let haters bring u down yr doing a great job 💪 I don't know why people come to watch these videos when they are not into this stuff
Absolutely, Adam, I keep wondering that myself. Thank you for watching and being supportive, buddy 🤝
Welcome back Man!
I would think if you were to use a .22 caliber airgun at the distances you shoot you would have a lot more wounded
birds than you would with the .25. Especially one generating 55 ft lbs like your R5M.
Great shooting as always. Love your videos.
Thank you kindly, Robert 🙂 I think you're right about the caliber, although these days there are some .22 cal pcps out there that generate a lot more energy than my R5M 😉 Still, I'd like to think the larger cross section of the .25 pellet helps buck the wind.
Nice shooting 👍 Had a replica Atlas but found the feet roll & not made very well, so got the real thing,maybe cheaper for you to import from the UK
Thank you, Andrew 🙂 I get the sneaking suspicion that I'll buy the real thing eventually 😉 When I set some cash aside.
@@AirRifleActivities Yeah no doubt you will 😃 All these gadgets cost money,when you think it's time to stop buying,something else takes your fancy 😃
Yes!!! The crow is a bad bird! ✌✌✌
Yes, Dmitriy, crows and magpies cause a lot of trouble and ruin the bio diversity of bird species.
@@AirRifleActivities 💪✌✌✌
How much does an airgun cost n the pellets? Just wondering...
Hey, bud. You can check the price of the Edgun Matador R5M Standard at edgun.shop.
USB power packs are the key to dead batteries. I modified a waterproof case to accept a charging lead so I could plug the charging lead in. OK it won't work underwater but it's fine even in heavy rain. Never suffered lack of power ever since. I use SJ4000 and SJ5000 cameras at a fraction of the cost of GoPro and pretty damn good they are too at what they do. Regardless of that I also have about 10 replacement batteries. Surely you really should carry a couple of spare batteries.
I do when I need to, Steven :) And yes, a power bank is always a solution.
Nice shooting mate... The Edgun R5M are amazingly accurate.. You got the short version I prefer the long version .. Barrel longer and more quiet and more accurate
Thank you for the nice comment, Ashraf. You are right about the comparison between the Standard and the Long. It's just that I wanted the gun to be more compact.
What a flying rats infestation you got there. My God!.
Right, brother. We dispatch many, but they keep coming.
Excellent video
Cheers, mate 🙂 Most kind of you.
Where are you pesting ? It’s a huge farm !
Yes, bud, it's quite big. More of a granary than a farm. Sorry, but I can't say where this place is, the owners prefer that I do not disclose the location. Thanks for your understanding.
I also got problem with len of Gopro like you did. Coulf you please give me the link to buy the for Gopro 7 ? Thank you so much
Sure thing, buddy.
I'd advise you to get an Eagle Vision lens, if you are in Europe.
Google "Eagle Vision scope mount" and you'll see the website in the search results.
Ese tiro triple se merece un buen like 👍, excelente video.
Muchas gracias, amigo 🙂
I can tell you from experience that a pigeon does not fly away after being hit by a 300 win mag, just saying 🤣 What I am curious about is what would be your favourite Sky Rat caliber and why? I see a lot of people still using the old faithful .177 or the .22 and a few with the .25.
I honestly prefer the .25 or a heavy .22 projectile - bucks wind better and hits hard over long distances too, thus making it more versatile. That being said, if I'm indoors or shooting close range, I reduce the power level drastically. You can't do that with a .25, there's just not good light pellet in that cal. Better to have both 😄 .177? I always say it seems more of a competition caliber to me.
@@AirRifleActivities Thanks mate, yeah i am thinking either 22 or 25 but you make an interesting point better to have both so all options and scenarios are covered. 🤔
Another great video. Outstanding shooting. Its kind of you to narrate in English - which you speak perfectly. One question though: I am new to your videos. Why do you target white pigeons? Please keep up the great work!
Thank you, John, and welcome to the channel 🙂 Yes, you got it right, English is not my native tongue, and I'm glad you think I speak it well enough. The white ones - I don't target them with priority, it's just that there was a discussion in the comments section of several videos of mine. A lot of viewers told me not to shoot the whiteys, others told me to not pay attention and target them, so every now and then I say a few words on the topic and shoot one or two of these 😉 Wanna make sure the guys know I'm following the comments section 😉
The best sniper👏
Thanks, brother, I really appreciate it 🤝
I've been gone for a while and just got back so I'm catching up on videos. It looks like your pigeons on your permission did some multiplying, lots of multiplying actually. Lots of time to check out the 35. Great video .
Thank you, friend 🙂 Let me say it's nice to have you back and I hope you enjoy the content 🤝
Perfect ,2 dead 1 shot 👍
Yeah, bud, thank you 🤝
so verry nice airgun sir..!
Thank you kindly, Philip 🤝
Hold under at 45m distance??? I usually hold over? The only time I hold under is shooting on an incline. Your first shot looked a little too low even though you hit it. I suppose it depends on the distance you zeroed at.
Yes, Steven, it depends on the distance your gun is zeroed at.
hi buddy! how much will such a kit cost in America?
Hey, bud. It's hard to say. But I can give some pointers. The gun is an Edgun Matador R5M Standard .25. You can check the price at edgun.shop. The scope is an Optisan EVX 6-24x50 FFP Mil. I suppose you can find it at the Optics Planet or some other US based shop. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and happy holidays 🎄
You’re a star.
