Nice video but it makes me cringe every time I see someone loading a break barrel without firmly holding onto the barrel with the stock butt secured.

He's not holding firmly onto the barrel. If the trigger sear inadvertently releases, the barrel is going to fly up at warp speed and the breech is going to chop his fingers off. I see this a lot in youtube videos. People cock the barrel and then let go of it completely while hand loading a pellet. It's a horrible accident waiting to happen. I ALWAYS hold firmly onto the barrel with the butt stock well secured, usually against my thigh. Even lightly holding the barrel is insufficient as it will get yanked right out of your hand. You need to be prepared. Guns with the so called anti-beartrap device aren't going to help in this situation if the sear releases the piston. The only thing that device does is prevent you from pulling the trigger.

I recall that's how I started in airgunning. Started with a Gamo Big Cat break barrel then worked into PCPs. I use to video tape all my shots too. Everyone has to start somewhere. Good shooting.

Thank you for your opinions and suggestions friends. This is my new video. This time, I held the barrel tight. My finger is so precious to me.

You need to hold that barrel with your off hand while you load a pellet.
