For the record I don't think Ted has responded to a single post like this since the forum started. I could be wrong though. Give him some time to do the thing he loves (shooting airguns), being a dad/husband, and spearfishing. Making the videos probably feels like a chore by now.

I haven't seen much of anything from him here- aside from input on the new FX guns perhaps.
Too bad really.

You gotta understand he was burnt out by the time this forum came to fruition. He still comes in and checks up on us and makes sure pertinent questions get answered.
He said it himself he was going to take some "him" time. I don't blame him. Everything will come in due time. By supporting his channel you (and everyone else) made it so we can all hang out here and talk shop, so kudos to you and everyone else who supported him. Continue that support and great things will come.
You should see some of the gun-giveaways he's done already, not to mention the other stuff!

I actually hope to make at least 10. 2015 was definitely a "down year" for me. The creation of this forum was taxing in many ways. Video production definitely suffered as a result. But, now the reigns are firmly in Michael's hands, and I'm glad to get back to shooting (and shooting). I admit that I've become more and more critical of my own work. So, these days I spend waaaaaay more time on research and editing than I did when I started. I am currently working on two videos - one is the much-requested review of the FX Impact. The other is a detailed scientific explanation (geek alert: code red) of why animals kick around after being shot in the head. I have 5 text books and and interview with a professor of neurology to draw upon.

Good to hear you will be producing more videos. I am a Brit transplant in your neighboring state MN... Your videos were instrumental in getting me back into Airguns again after many years of powder burners. It seems I have gone full circle after a long hiatus.... Except not 12 ft Ib's over here

Can't wait for the Nerdy stuff Ted!! That sounds very interesting, I always wondered why "lights out" actually meant "thrash about for 5 seconds"

Well that's exiting ha I routinely try and shoot out too 100 with my break Barrel, and routinely am reminded I have a 50-60 yarder on the stretch end of the gamo, but Ted definitely got me back to long rang accuracy and shooting air in general, I'm looking forward to the next video Ted your a killer shot

I think there's a hard line between making an informative video and presenting a quality video. Not saying you can't do both but unless you really have a talent and desire for both I think one could kill the passion for the other. There's no doubt that Ted puts in countless hours for a quality video of 6 or so minutes. And he said it himself that he's becoming more critical of his own work and I have to guess that's the video/production end of the work. I can't imagine him being critical of his shooting. The problem is you can really beat yourself up over production issues and I, for one, am much more interested in content than production. Sure, you're out on a windy day and the audio is over 50% wind noise and we can't understand what's being said then maybe that's a cause for a 'do over'. But I saw a hunt video the other day where the guy was re-enacting shots, like 'reality' tv. He's sticking in video sections of us watching him take the shot, but it's not the real shot. I mean that's not information, that's ego. I can't speak for everybody but for myself I don't watch AG videos for entertainment I watch them for education. Ted is a naturally engaging person so his educational videos are also somewhat entertaining. And for the guy that likes to make hunting videos more like reality tv shows, I'm positive some folks like that and he has his audience too. I'm not sure I learned one thing watching his video and that's the reason I'm watching. So Ted, keep it simple and keep those videos coming because me, and some other folks, have A LOT to learn. Thanks for all you do.

How about a good old pest smacking vid? Maybe you could travel to different locations around the country pesting new and different species like Iguanas in south Florida. You could even mix in some spear fishing while your down there. Such a horrible job. Maybe hogs in Texas with a big bore.

10 or so new videos ! Sweet ! Maybe Ted could start a new Magazine like Teds monthly but only put out like 8 issues a year with Sexy Hot new air rifle in the middle ? And a listing of places that they have pests that the locals need some help getting rid of ? And maybe a whole issue on the FX Bobcat and all it's good points . Yes that's what I want for Christmas : )
