My new video series - Airgun Quick Hits
- Thread starter Bob_O
- Start date
I really like the way you present your videos and now I have another favorite airgun site to look forward to watching. Thanks a lot! The shorts are a great idea for a teaser. I realize the work in putting these out and appreciate it. I learn a lot from your explanations of the shots you take too. I know I would shoot more if I had the target rich area like you have and not just shooting at paper. ,,,,, A shooter that cleans houses too ... now that's a new one !

Thanks Russ!!
I like giving the explanations on some shots, as these are things I've learned on the way to where I am as a shooter, and I hope they help others to progress more quickly.
Ted's videos gave me the foundation for holdover shooting, but it sure is challenging most days. I miss at least 1 of 3 shots most days, and 1 of 2 often it seems. And there are other days when it seems you only miss 1 of 5 or 1 of 10 only. Those are the days I love....when you can get a long sequence of kills.
It's weird, sometimes I seem to struggle with the pigeons at 80 yards, but can ace the sparrows at 65. Other days I smack the pigeons at 70+ yds but miss the starlings and sparrows at 40.

Unreal shooting! Love the super slo mo. I had no idea the pellets were exiting like that. I’ll just have to watch it again. Btw, I like that music.

Thanks Boog!
I wish I could get that kind of slomo at 1080p. 120fps is decent for slowmo but can't compete with 240fps when going super slow like that.
I had some slight wobble this day so it's probably time to clean the barrel.

Really been enjoying these Bob. Always something to learn from other guys shooting!
Couple quick questions......Does you Wildcat shoot the 25 and 34 grain JSB’s equally well? How often are you cleaning the barell and what do you set as your max fill pressure? Thanks!

Eddie,
I only shoot the MKII heavies, as when I put the Huma regulator in, I set it to 150 bar and tuned the HS for 848fps average. I think this setting would have the 25gr pellets going way too fast. I also shoot the ST-X barrel liner.
I fill to a Max of 230 bar and get around 32 shots. And I haven't cleaned the barrel in about 400 shots, so it might need it right now. Can't hurt anything, as I did notice some pellet wobble in a few shots when I reviewed alll the footage.

Bob, I too am a fan of the Hunter Extremes! What rifle and caliber are you using?
EDIT: Oh, OK; I see from your second vid that you are using the WC .25 just like me! Cool

Yes Sir. The Hunter Extremes are nasty on red squirrels. I like to use them when I take the time to verify zero before heading into the woods.
