    When I was a kid, I would pore over Hammerli products in catalogs, especially the pistols - they seemed so exotic. But then, as now, they were at untouchable nosebleed prices. The AR20 is an entry rifle. Wow. Classical position target shooting is like auto racing - the only substitute for cubic inches (or cc's) is cubic money. And it is truly an athletic endeavor. Andy, thanks for straying from your comfort zone - a very interesting video on a fascinating rifle!

    An alternative that will suit many sizes of prospective shooters is the Air Arms T200 (not to be confused with the TX . This T stands for target) It's a very nice rifle, made in the Czech Republic and has the CZ barrel fitted. . .It's about half the price of the Hammerli too.

    I have the full power CR20 and it’s fantastic. Very accurate, incredible trigger, crazy accurate for a Co2 88g powered unit and feeds anything you can put in the tray. All for a bargain second hand.

    Andy, great rifle and great shots from you too, I can say with every confidence, the more you shot with the AR20 the better you would be able to shoot 10’s in the standing. Just a few adjustments on the sights and you would be so much happier in yourself. Another great show thank you.

    Retails for $1.220 here in the USA, seems expensive but considering the Anschutz rifles go from $2.800 to $4.800, it's very reasonably priced. Nice shooting Andy, especially the offhand considering it's not your usual thing. 😁👍

    Excellent review. The only comment I make (respectfully) is to control your breathing. If you were holding your breath, this may have impacted on your consistently accurate shooting. Lastly: Walther: If they are good enough for Mr Bond. . . .

    I have had the AR20 FT for about 12 yrs. Great rifle. The only problem is that in the threaded hole of the air cylinder there is an O ring. These harden & leak. NO ONE can say where to get a spare. Maybe with your contacts you can find a source.

    Had the Hämmerli AR10 for a long time. Basically the more expensive/high end Version of this gun.
    It was extremely precise and light enough to allow you to add a lot of extra weight exactly where you need it. Which sounds stupid, but is common in the sport.

    @shovelchop81bikeralex52 3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I've owned the CR20 for quite a few years now, it comes in all black, has the giant muzzle brake and a rail system instead of the dioptre sights so better for benchrest shooting, it also comes with quite a few stock adaptors as well as weights and is brilliant for me as I'm a lefthanded shooter. The C is for CO2 (takes the large CO2 bottles in place of the PCP tank) and I really want to convert it to PCP but Hammerli haven't been very helpful. Mine is also branded under Umarex who bought Walther when the firearms company was going broke and saved it with the Walther P99 and giving the prototype to Pierce Brosnan on set for James Bond asking him to recommend it as Bond's new pistol, which he did.

    Don't knock yourself. Stance not bad and results not bad either. It''s great that there is something cheaper to get folk started in a very expensive part of the sport, but it's still too expensive. Of course quality usually is and I was tempted myself until you said the price. No doubt though there will be noises turned up from some folk in the discipline as it doesn't say Anschutz on the side, but if British Shooting is ever going to grow any and become more authorative in regards having a say that makes sporting organisations and the government sit up and take note, it needs more folk shooting in all kinds of disciplines. Such rifles as this helps no end, but the price still has to come down to get folk through the shooting door. Nice to see a video with something very different.

    Hi Andy, Good shooting there. If you look at your off hand to where it was zeroed you were not far off. You can fit a scope to them as I had a scope on mine for 3 positional shooting. You can buy 2 different size regulators to increase the power up to 12ft/lb, but they were not cheap here in Australia.

  • @keithnorman3519
    @keithnorman3519 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    Its normal practise to have your free hand rested ie in a pocket or tucked in your belt when shooting pistol. I would say your results were very good as standing 10 mtr rifle is extremely challenging so well done.

    As long as I could have it in some colour less......intense than that blue....
    In fairness, one hand in the pocket is pretty much the accepted style for target pistol. You are not allowed to use your "weak" hand for any kind of support, and you need to be relaxed, so sticking it in your pocket is the best answer.
    I have a Steyr LG110, which I use with a scope, and it is a fantastically accurate rifle. I have wondered how good it would be with target sights, but i don't have the money to find out at the moment.

  • @KathrynLiz1
    @KathrynLiz1 3 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

    Andy... the secret with offhand shooting is to accept that you cannot hold the rifle still.... no one can... you have a lovely light trigger, so start below aim point and float the rifle up on target, breaking the trigger as you pass point of aim. Humans cannot be still but we are very good at precise movement, so use that natural talent to hit where you want. Hunters use the same technique for offhand shots in the field....

    I remember many years ago using the rifle club .22 rim fire target rifles that used diopter sights, that was in the days before I needed glasses and we shot from a prone position. Good fun but my varifocal glasses make using most iron sights very difficult these days, the only ones I can manage are the fibre optic ones like the ones on my HW45 where I can at least line up the glowing blurry coloured dots 😁

    May I ask aim jokes more at those of self inflicted, a person who's drank 10 red bull or cups of coffee and now on a come down (shakes etc) ,10 pints of lager or over indulged in their fav past time.

    Well, tbf, this is the standard shooting position for 10m air pistol. You either have the hand at the hip, the belt or the pocket, and 90% of 10m pistoleros chose the pocket.

      At a 1/3 of the cost of an LG400, I'm also wondering how this rifle would compare if cranked up to 11.5 foot pound and a scope fitted. Not sure how suited it would be for HFT in a prone position with that hand grip. But it would be interesting if shortened to suit and running just under 12 ft/lbs.

    Hi Andy,
    I just found your channel this week and have enjoyed watching your shows.
    I have watched quite a few of them now and I notice something that keeps coming up that I don't understand.
    Please can you explain why/how rifles/pistols are more accurate when using a single shot pellet tray than when using a magazine?
    I am not saying you're wrong at all, nor doubting you, but I'd like to learn the reasoning behind this please.
    As an aside, my wife is upset with you (and now me too) because you are the reason I bought a Remington Pest Controller, A Glock 19 gen 4 MOS and visited Vector Air for a T-Rex (I will also blame you for any future air gun/rifle purchases).

      yes I’m told that I am responsible for many things, including the Boer war, the bad moods of Genghis Khan and fall of the Roman Empire, along with Air gun purchases of course… the single shot tray point is that some magazines can very slightly deform a pellet in action, hence the puritans prefer to use their phalanges to remove this potential issue. Stay safe and love to the Mrs…Andy

      It is the cheap line of Walther, and the Hämmerlis have been around as cheap "loan units" for guests and beginners at gun clubs for quite a while. If it were a market, the other manufacturers would have followed along long time ago, I guess.
      Many people that decide to get into the sport just ignore the Hämmerli and go for the entry level "real" Walther or Feinwerkbau albeit the premium for these (€1500-1600 for a entry level LG400 or FWB500 instead of €1000-€1100 for the AR20Pro). I guess to make tha Hämmerli really attractive for beginner shooters, it would have to be something around €700-€800. I wozuld buy one just because I think it looks cute 😄

    @borislavradonjic660 3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    That’s a nice rifle! However, I wanted to point out that the gear on OI doesn’t necessarily provide any real advantage. For example, the anti-glare lens helps with visibility but isn’t auto-aim or AI assistance. Similarly, ear protection doesn’t improve your shooting skills-it just protects your hearing.
    What truly matters is having a steady hand, sharp eyesight, and proper trigger discipline. As you mentioned yourself, your hand isn’t always steady, and glasses might slightly affect sharpness (though they help overall). It’s about building those core skills.
    In fact, sometimes too much reliance on gear can even hinder progress. Without stamina and steadiness, the results might not improve as much, even with the best equipment. Focus on the fundamentals, and I’m sure you’ll see better results!
