    I have shot in many military contests over the last 40 years & you are an excellent shot. I think you understand the principles of shooting a lot better than most l knew in the Army. To judge the wind & fall of shot at those distances on such a small moving target shows skill. Well done. I hope you & your family had a great Christmas & l wish you have a safe New Year. Cheers from "down under". Pete.

    Used to live in Philadelphia, Pa in an apartment and pigeons were congregating on the roof. The pigeons were pooping 💩 all over the roof, steps, and railing. Use of a firearm for such purposes is forbidden in city limits. But one day I came home and found piles of pigeon feathers all over the steps. I looked up and saw a hawk circling. Apparently the hawk was picking off the pigeons. The pigeons never returned! 3:36

    • @AirRifleActivities
      @AirRifleActivities  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's really interesting, David. I've seen hawks here and kestrels too. I've even shown some in my videos. They manage to scare them off for a minute or two. Then they return. A wild raptor would get one and leave; maybe two to feed its young ones. But they don't seem to stay too long at that place - I imagine people scare them.

    Hi Alex, greetings from a cool overcast East Yorkshire. Yesterday, took out a skyrat that I've been after for a while. With avian flu still on the go around here, I am assured that the pigeons coming in the garden are feral, as all the racing pigeon lofts around, about four or five, are shut up tighter than a sharks arse, and that's watertight. We feed the wild song birds, and I don't mind the wild wood pigeons coming in, as they hoover up all the seed that comes off the table. So this bugger has been coming for a few days and chasing off the wild birds, but I was in my garden bar, with rifle in hand, only about 12 yards from the feeding station. Anyway, got it, neck through body. I've never had one bleed as much, all over the patio. The wife caught me washing down the blood, wasn't happy. Hasn't spoken to me since, but a few cocktails and nice Sunday roast has smoothed things over, until next time.
    Good video, all the best, from Big Steve.

      Hey, Big Steve 🙂 I must say your comment was most amusing 😄 Forgive me for saying that, I have my issues with my wife too, every now and then - mostly due to spending some of the weekends away from the family.
      Nice going with the cocktails and cooking 😉👍
      The blood thing - I completely understand, I've had cases I was worried workers at my permission might actually think it's a crime scene and alert the authorities 😉

      @@DinnerForkTongue they are, mate. But it doesn't take a lot of blood to scare some people. If a sky rat hits the ground after a 80 feet fall from the top of a grain bin and rolls several times, sometimes there's a lot of blood and it stands out against the concrete.

      Also been talking to my neighbour with the racing pigeons, he has asked if i'd like to come and shoot in his garded to clear some of this quite large flock of ferals that hang around, and more worrying, around his loft with this avian flu going on.

      @@AirRifleActivities I understand I think. But if you want full potentials, you need a very good air rifle with quality, superior accuracy consistency and a very high shot count capability.

      David, the wind is always gusting. So it's kinda sixth sense you develop with practice and one that doesn't always deliver the expected result. In my latest video I admitted that I miscalculated or misread the wind on at least a couple of shots.

  • @davew9360
    @davew9360 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That is a powerful sounding gun and you are using what looks like heavy pellets . What is the power rating of the gun ? I can see on your slow motion the pellets arcing into the target but you hit the folded wing in quite a few shots and this is a very strong part of the bird and can deflect pellets , better to hit them in softer parts such as neck or head . difficult to do at these distances in that very strong wind .

    • @AirRifleActivities
      @AirRifleActivities  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you, Dave, few people realise how challenging it may be to shoot an airgun long distance in wind, and the anatomy of the sky rats too. Usually I try to place a shot on a pigeon facing me - like this they expose their vitals. But sometimes they just won't give me such an opportunity and then I take the shot either way, hoping that if the projectile deflects by the bone, then I'll finish the bird with a follow up. That being said, most airgun projectiles deflect because the really good ones are made of soft allow which deforms easily upon impact. The gun is highly adjustable, you can tune it in a wide range of power levels, depending on the caliber too. You can check the link in the video description, it'll take you to the website of the seller where you can find further details.
      Thank you 🤝
