Merry Christmas and Happy new year from across the pond…… As a “yank”, of 77 years, I was stationed at High Wycombe, Upper Heyford, and Croughton back in the 70’s and 80’s…. And I still have 2 unopened boxes of Silver Jets, and some original Eley Wasps and a tin of .22 David Nickerson Magnums! I started air rifle shooting with the BSA Meteor, then the HW77 (I still have), and bought the Limited Edition, BSA Centenary Airsporter 1 of 1000, (I still have) both the HW77 and Airsporter are in original condition. These days, I shoot FX, Steyr, Daystate, EDgun and American Air Arms PCP’s, I have many years of Airgun World in their annual Blue Binders that I brought back with me from England all those years ago. A friend near Banbuyr sends me his yearly copies of Airgun World every year as a Christmas Present, He used to send Airgunner and Shooting Sports…. Sad to see them both shut down. Anyway, great start with this new Podcast series. But…. Terry needs to get modern with ear buds…he’s at home, not at the range!!!
This is great - please keep it up. I’ve been teaching my 9 yr old grandson using my Brk concept XR which works well as you can easily set the stock to the right length; we also use the odd Firebird reactive exploding target which always goes down well !
What a brilliant set up ,, it’s always interesting listening to all of you especially Terry,, I’m a bit longer in the tooth than Terry at 75 but like him I’ve come through the ranks,, love the advice and input lads a big 👍👏👏🤠
What a superb video. Richard, Matt & Terry are top top guys giving out their best advice and what sound advice it is. Young and new Airgun shooters these days have so much information within their grasp which is wonderful.Long May you all continue 🙏
Love the chat lads, matt being one i know best. Been an air gunner since a young teen then had an sa 80 in the army air weapons gave me great shooting skills, now as a 59 year old bloke i have a 30 year old webley springer but just treat myself to a webley nemisis x pcp and a wh 110k, oh and now hoping to buy my own 5 acre wood, I'll have my own permission to shoot on it lol.
@@richsaunders6515 loved hearing you guys chatting found myself nodding agreement all the time of course I'll make the time to tune in watch and listen
Looking forward to more of these podcasts. Hopefully they will also be available on all podcast devices. Wondering if the Airgun World magazine is available in Canada? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
Hello air rifle team, I have enjoyed this video a lot and found it very interesting. Merry Christmas to you all and a happy new year. I look forward to seeing you all in the new year.
Made my day this!! Sat here under the weather reading the December edition of airgun world (orange one) and low and behold a podcast that i wanted to see such a long time ago 😊 happy chappy. Keep it up all and please keep the magazine going please.
Great Blog Guys, looking forward to more - I see “front” add ons will be the next big thing to utilise standard scopes without the disadvantages of the rear add ons.
Thanks Philip. We'll be recording the next podcast in a few days time when Mat and I will be talking to Tony Belas of Daystate/BRK Brocock/MTC Optics. I agree, front add-ons are a great option, especially on recoiling rifles. The only drawback I've found is that they can make a scope very long and fiddling around with controls at arm's reach is not always easy, especially if prone. But for sure, some great products out there...
Thanks Nigel. 20 cal seems like it should offer the perfect compromise between the more popular .177 and .22 calibres. The only issue I can think of is the availability of pellets in terms of range of different brands, designs given that .20 is something of a niche. But if you can find a pellet that performs well in your HW100 KT I'm sure it will be awesome.
Airgunners of a certain vintage all did. But ask yourself whether you would have wanted to shoot with a PCP or springer had they both been around when you started out?
Hi Robert. That's true - there are, I think, five different profiles so you can set five different zero distances. The benefit of the ballistic calculator on the LRF version is that once you've picked a zero and set the function up the scope will calculate hold over and under for you at the press of a button, so no need to swap between different profiles. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Hi John. You're right - most air rifles in the UK are indeed max 12 ft/lbs, but not all of them. Hopefully we'll continue to have plenty of sub 12 ft/lbs chat to keep you listening in the future. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Whist info etc ref airguns is exceptional being new to the scene within the Berkshire area I have to say more needs to be done regards to air rifle ranges and clubs. Within my area supply is in short supply and can be costly and hours and days open very poor

Great show I have 2 springers looking at getting my first pcp a hw100 kit in .20 what are the pros and cons thanks 👍👍

@@richsaunders6515 Thank you very much rich it’s been very knowledgeable just like to wish you and your family And the team a Merry 🎄
great idea these videos, well done lads 👍
good that. enjoyed it. thankyou
maybe i am oldfahioned, but a starter starts with a springer
Absolutely, none of them looking at their ages probably started out with a PCP hence a springer category should have been first and foremost
Airgunners of a certain vintage all did. But ask yourself whether you would have wanted to shoot with a PCP or springer had they both been around when you started out?
With the pard ds 35...its easy..u can set each ritical at different distances.....

John Darling would of been on here if he was still with us legend R I P
Hi Terry is it true you wont be covering the shootout between mat and mark ????
Can this be made as an audio MP3 download?
great show......please in future....air guns,,, to most of us are 12 ft...fed up of tuning in and air gun shows are using fire arms air guns
Hi John. You're right - most air rifles in the UK are indeed max 12 ft/lbs, but not all of them. Hopefully we'll continue to have plenty of sub 12 ft/lbs chat to keep you listening in the future. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Is there an American version of that insurance that anyone knows about?
Perhaps the NRA?
