- I filmed this some time ago on a farm that no longer puts barley in unfortunately, it wasn't the best of days for hunting with an air rifle but i made best use of the break in the rainy weather we were having that year and managed to put a few birds in the bag.
Rifle Weihrauch HW97 .177 12ft/lb
Scope Simons 4-12x40 Pro Air
Pellets .177 Bisley Magnums - กีฬา

Thank you and a Happy New Year to you too, i hope the weather picks up soon or i'll never get out shooting again.
David, good shooting. Looks like you're getting some unseasonably warm weather like we are in the U.S. Lots of wind here lately too. Really enjoy your videos.
+Thomas Beauchamp
Thanks, believe it or not but i haven't been out this Christmas as the weather here has been so bad this year with heavy rain and stormy weather.

Thanks, hope you had a merry Christmas and New Years too.
Very nice shooting, and a lot of patience :-) Good work with the videos
Very nice video, happy holidays
+Efrain Irizarry
Thanks very much.
Nicely done as usual. Making the best of a not so great situation.
+RLBadKarma
Thank you, thankfully i managed to bag a few after the effort of building the hide even though it was a bit breezy.
First of all...Merry Christmas to you and those you hold most dear. Second... If you have that many birds flying in you may want to get your hands on a shotgun. Thanx for the vid. Hope to see more of what you're doing in the year to come.
+R W Glavin
Yeah i know a shotgun is the right tool for this sort of shooting but i just love the challenge of the rifle. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and New years.
Another good video David
+Bill Howie
Thank you.
Excellent, thank you. I think i might have a go at this too although I am sure i would be itching fro the 12g with a flock coming in. I have a new air rifle to try out and was thinking to decoy some magpies with it.
+oowee
Yes it can be frustrating when the birds are decoying lovely for a shotgun but just not landing for a shot with an air rifle. Good luck with your new air rifle and try using a dead rabbit to bait magpies down for you air rifle.
Well done David.
Geoff.
+GE TA
Thank you.
very cool happy holidays
+stevencox75
Thanks very much.
Its nice to see the springer back out !
+Keith Stambaugh
Yeah it can be a bit of a challenge but its nice to get back to basics at times.
+HuntersVermin Thats all ive used so far ! Just chainged my ammo from the Crossman premear hollows to the h&n Beracudas ! Would love to try a hw97 one day . But it dosent fit what my chanals main perpuse ! To show folks the cheapist way I can find for them to feed there Familys ! Well I do injoy yer Videos Brother ! Keep em up !
Its true the HW97 i use isn't the cheapest of spring guns and there are budget end rifles out there that can do the same in the right hands but the hunting techniques i use can be used by anyone.
Bit late, but when in a hide with a springer, do you shoot with sticks or a rest? I've always preferred stalking with the airgun due to hide shooting feeling restrictive and just wondered if there was anything I could do to make it easier/more comfortable.
Great video as usual. Hope you had a good Christmas.
If you fancy a bit of squirrel hunting let me know.
I'm a member of a squirrel group & we have a lot of them
to sort out. Going Out Wednesday before new year to see what
we can get. p's we're not too far away from you only down the road.
Keep up the good work and have a great new year.
+Gerry Ward
Thanks glad you liked it. I didn't realize there were any squirrel groups here in N'Ireland, I would be interested in getting a shot or two at some as i don't get to see many in the open fields i shoot over.
Great shooting, great video, thank you
+sthier24
Thanks for watching.
great shooting there david,great shot on the hooded crow
+andyw46
Thank you very much.
some cracking shooting there mate it's a thumbs up from me
+fenland airgunner
Thanks glad you liked it.
great vid nice crow at the end... cheers xx
+Colin Tonkasdad
Thank you very much.
Love the springer videos as that is the type of air rifle I use. Don't do enough shooting to justify a PCP but do want to get the best springer I can afford.
Thanks, when i got back into springers i couldn't put it down and took it every where and could shoot just as well as i could with my pcp's if i put the practice in that is, the only big disadvantage was not having that quick reload.
@@HuntersVermin The HW97 seems to be the best I've come across how would you compare it to the Air Arms TX200
Well as far as accuracy goes there's nothing really between them though i think the TX200 has a nicer stock but the one thing i hate is that clicking noise the anti bear trap on the side of the TX200 makes.
@@HuntersVermin Thanks, I like the looks of the TX200 too but the bottom line is if you are taking it out for hunting you have a lot more options with the HW97 and we all know no one would want to paint up the TX200.
Merry Christmas. I am going to go devoting tomorrow
+BlueCrewSlackers
i hope you enjoy your church service
as you are DEVOTED

Meant decoying
Another fantastic hunt. Good job with the Hw97kt.
+HuntersVermin I have a BSA Superten and I would like change my original barrel to a R10 Barrel because this last has a thread for a silencer. I am not sure if are the same barrel. Are they?. I mean if it's possible to fit a r10 barrel on a S10. Thanks.
+AGBCR ART SORA
I'm not sure if the R10 barrel will fit an S10 as even if the barrel diameter is the same the transfer port might be bored it a different place, but if all you want is the end of the barrel threaded you can take your S10 to a gunsmith and they with thread the barrel for you so a silencer can be fitted.
Great to see another one David, keep them coming please. At the beginning of the vid, in the distance, there are loads of birds on a wire, were they the woodies ?
+Paul Doyle
It could have been a mixture of birds as there were a lot of rooks and crows in the area too and feeding in the field behind my hide were i couldn't get a shot at them.
Do you eat the pigeons? Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, David! --- Clark and Virginia
+Virginia Bradley
Yes i do and i have a video on how to clean and cook wood pigeon on my channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too.
great video what did you use to camo your barrel and cocking arm merry Christmas and Happy new year
+Toby James
I used some camo tape on the barrel and cocking lever, it does make the lever a bit sticky but it does take the shine off them.
Happy new year and great video will you eat the woodies? David do you rate the Bisley Magnums Cheers Dean.
+Dean Morriss
Thanks very much and the same to you and yours. The Bisley Mags shot well in my HW97 but they do pass through on heart shots which can sometimes let a bird fly off a short distance before dropping but they work fine on head shots.
Great vid Thank you David.

+hoppobun7
Thanks glad you liked it.
Great vid again David. Do you own a shotgun ? I think you could of done some serious damage to the pigeon numbers with a shotty on this day mate.
Keep the vids coming mate and merry Xmas and happy new year
+bunnyblatter1
Yes i have a shotgun and take it out now and again but i'm not very good with it. Hope you had a great Christmas and New Years too.
Enjoyed that Dave, great marksmanship 👌 What kind of camo did u use on your barrel?.... I bought some bandage type camo wrap, but it's no use on the Hw97k because of the under lever catch 😬
I'm not sure but i think it was the Hunter's Specialties Camo tape but i had to wipe any oil off the barrel to get it to stick.
David, merry Christmas. Just a quick question, what bag is that you have your decoys in at the start of the video ? It looks excellent! Best wishes, Matt
+salopsniper22
Oh if i remember right its a British Army Infantry Bergen with the side Pouches and i fitted a few more smaller pouches to the front for small bits and bobs. Its seems to work well and is comfortable to carry.
Hello, after a year of application , the V-Mach you still have energy airgun HW 97 16J. ? Thank you for your response Geko.
+jan geko
I haven't had any real problems since i put the V-Mach kit in the rifle though i haven't fired it over a crony since to see what sort of energy it has after a year or so of use.
Nice video!
If you feel like it, try to place the pigeons in a U-formation with their heads against the wind :)
Thanks i'l remember that. I usually carry 6 inch long pieces of wire with me to prop up their heads to look like birds feeding.
And I`ll remember that! :)
Also considering my first PCP, my cheaper break barrels works well enough for sparrows inside 25-30 meters (when I hit).
But should like to extend that range and improve accuracy.
Cometa Orion Bullpup seems a decent choice for the money, I`ve always had good luck with Spanish air rifle.
Other than that I use mostly my CZ 452 Lux .22LR with Suppressor, but the cheap scope is losing zero on that so it`s time to get some sort of good quality Mil-scope, a Falcon FFP with the BR20 reticle should do the trick, though I originally wanted the Primary Arms with the R-Grid reticle (Not sold outside U.S unfortunately) which is like the Horus reticle, you just zero in the thing and work with the mils :)
Would you consider joining Air Gun Nation ?, I link your hunting videos to the guys/gals along with how you use your shot birds to be decoys. Your hunting and airgun knowledge would help lots of hunters out there.
+Monkyshine
I don't know as i find TH-cam a little overwhelming at times with all the comments i get and i find myself sitting at a computer editing or answering questions when i'd rather be out in the field enjoying the sights and sounds of the country side with the possibility of bagging a few rabbits or decoying crows, but i will look the site up to see what its like.
Good shooting.....
Thanks very much.
Hi friend, I like your channel very much. I'm from Germany and my English isn't the best, sorry! I have a question. Did you measure how many joules the rifle has with the tuning kit? I read that in England you can freely buy rifles up to 16.3 joules. Can you tell me the performance and what is the maximum effective range you can hunt? I would appreciate an answer. You make very interesting videos! Warm greetings from Germany.
Hi my HW97 was a 12ft/lb (16 joules) UK legal rifle as you can buy an air rifle in the UK (But not Scotland) without a licence so long as it is under 12ft/lb so most guns will come from the manufacture at around 11 to 11.5ft/lb to be on the safe side. After the tuning kit my rifle was about 13ft/lb (17.6joules) but i live in Northern Ireland were we have to have a licence for any air rifle over 1 joule of energy. At this sort of power my rifle would cleanly kill a rabbit out to 35-40 yards with a well placed head shot. Hope that answers your questions.
@@HuntersVermin Hi, thank you very much for your detailed answer. You have helped me a lot. Much luck ;)
How many joule have this rifle?
Its about 12ft/lb (16 jouls) in .177cal.
Nice1 fella you definitely could do with a shotgun though
What shotgun channel ?
+motomeady hunting nd motocross
Thanks, i do use a shotgun now and again but i just like hunting with a rifle.
So you have got a shotgun why haven't you ever done a video with it or them ? Post 1 up make a video of it fella
I haven't made a video with it as i can hit much with it.
Really does it not fit you or have you always been a rifle shooter ? Because I no personally its hard to then shoot a shotgun mountimg it quick using leed on the bird ect moving target completely different but does it fit you though it is important with shotguns otherwise you dont hit sod all I no from experience and from everyone else
need shotgun
