My first Pesting Video... (updated 06/02/17)

[kmd1984]

Hi,

Here is my first attempt at making a pestling video. I need to work more on the editing, video transitions and what not, but I just wanted to share it now, and see what people think. 

Thanks,

Kmd

EDIT: 

Here is video number 2:

Holy Smokes.... there's a sht load of those little buggers! What gun & pellets are you using?
Great video, BTW!!!

 

[kmd1984]

Thanks you!

I mentioned in another thread that there are a trillion of them, and no one believed me, I guess they will now. LOL. Using a FX Bobcat Mk2 in .25 on power lever 1, which is the lower one of the two. If I remember correctly, it shoots the AirArms Diabolo Filed 25.4 gr at 650 fps.

p.s. I added the equipment used to the description of the video. : )

Wow! Target rich for sure. I'm sure that was some epic fun!

 

[kmd1984]

To be honest, I still have mixed feelings about the whole pesting thing. That said. I prefer the word :satisfactory", if that makes more sense? : )

Where IS this...Heaven??

That does look like fun, Kmd. Nothing wrong with your video. Keep it up.

Great video. I'm envious of the target rich environment. Where are you shooting, backyard, park, school....? I wish we had prairie dogs in Tennessee. Good job.

Did you get permission from town and they just said "sure, come on over..." Worked well however it went down. South Dakota?

Good video! Nice target rich! I'd recommend going for headshots since you have such a target rich environment. A few misses here and there won't matter as you are right back on another. Gutshooting the just doesn't look good in my opinion.

I enjoyed the video.the more you practice the better you'll get.remember these are pest and should be taken out.shoot well and take more video.

HOLY HONEY HOLE! Crikey, I almost choked on my sandwich when I saw their numbers! That setup was perfect. Effective enough for all the shots and quiet enough to not spook them back into their hole. Ah, my only recommendation is to let us know when you're about to end the movie with a fade or some sort of visual so we can reel our tongue back in and blink our eyes before the end aye?! Aside from that, BRAVO! ENCORE!!

"kmd1984"Thanks you!

Seeing is believing especially in the airgun forums. Just like saying "The one that got away was THIS BIG".

Hek, I'm packing up and going home. I gotta see this on the big screen!

Thanks...

This is at a church! Their playground and "soccer field" is run over with Prairie Dogs (obviously, ha ha) and they needed some help. : )

I just walked in there on a Sunday and asked "someone". He said, "Sure..." that is all that matters to me. : )

Thanks for being honest! I am not a fun of "gut-shooting" either. The reason you see gut shots, is because I did some research, and I came across many targets and pictures that had the bulls-eye right in the center-mass of the PG. So I try to aim for the chest. Unfortunately, it is sometimes impossible to range the distance perfect, as they are low in the grass. Before you know it, the pellet lands in the gut, instead of the chest. Could also be my "cheap" $100 dollar range finder from Walmart. It works great when ranging targets with a big surface, but not so good on small, low angled targets. 

Having said that, I totally agree with you, and I am not trying to make excuses here, but my goal is, with every shot I take, to kill as humane as possible. I actually felt the same way after watching some footage at home, and really noticing that some shots were not perfect. In the next videos I am going to post, you will see more head shots.

Thanks for the input,

Kmd

LOL, thank you so much! Glad you like it.

I felt the same way about the ending, so I am adding a video effect to it, to indicate THE END. : )
