Wheres Ted Bier?

I got started in air guns in 2007. I don't remember Ted's videos till sometime later. Anyone know when he got started ?

I suspect it’s a combination of things. Making videos takes time. Hunting videos open a person to criticism which likely gets old. The web allows the exchange of information which is wonderful . I struggle what I read on the internet. And I’m not posting on YouTube or in public forums . It’s hard to let stuff just slide and that could be part of it. Then again he just might be doing something different.
I think we all need to be kinder to each other and to disagree without being disagreeable. THAT is difficult because it not the nature of the human species.
An example. Gun rights. Nether side gives an inch and seems to be at all interested in even having a civil discussion. Reminds me of a contentious divorce. We have to live in the same world. We should be able to talk to people and calmly explain our opinions and to LISTEN. Ted was posting videos shooting birds I do it so I’m on his side BUT I fully understand that others find it offensive . Not everything is black and white . Make room for those see things differently. Hopefully he’ll find his way back. I enjoyed his work and I’m with him too.,

I'm with Ted. We all need to be kinder to each other. I really enjoyed his videos, and his pidgin recipe. I hope after a break he comes back. If you don't like hunting videos then don't watch them. I don't like Hallmark movies, so I don't watch them! If I'm forced to be in the room I put in earbuds and watch something on my phone or tablet. I don't go spewing bile at the actors, directors, etc.

It's a loss for us. He was like a caffeinated elf of airgun shooting. He genuinely loved the sport, and you could tell that. Ted if you are there man keep doing what you love, cuz them squirrels aren't gona leave Grandma's bird feeders alone.

Soooo true! 

His love and enthusiasm for the hobby is so very real and infectious. 

Wishing him nothing but the best!

Unfortunately anyone who is in the lime light for any length of time needs thick skin. It isn’t fair, but internet warriors will always have something bad to say. Could this also have something to do with his appearance on American airgunner? I never got to watch the competition, but I heard he did very well. With this kind of coverage, I’m sure the internet comments were much more than he’s normally used to. I hope he is just taking a break, and comes back stronger than ever! #imwithted 

Teds the best, and a cool kat. Always funny and willing to share valuable knowledge with others. I wish him the best and hope he has a rebirth many can ride along with again.

Hats off to Ted, I think I saw every one of his vids twice. He approached air guns like no one else at the time. He pioneered video recording, how many remember the old Casio vids with the constantly evolving mounts and scope adaptations? He's a multi talented guy, and a great spearfisherman. That skill is not too common for the land locked Lilly pad guys.

I agree. And some of the different tutorials he came up with, and invested $$ in just to get the lesson across. Perfect example was his presentation of shooting up hill at different angles. He used a drone with a target attached to it to do his show and tell. 



Who else does that?

Ted is still around, I got a response from him to a question I ask on GTA. As usual he was very helpful.

Im with TED

I remember this video - I learned so much from it.

All the stupid online "Troll Crap" he went though over the years, would had everyone hang it up years ago. Internet, Politics, Marketing, Rivalries between brands, Rivalries between retailers, people making crap up about others on forums because they want protect their pocket books- Makes it really easy to check the F**** out!

I didn’t realize he posted on forums anymore. That’s neat!

I have always enjoyed his posts/videos. He is an excellent teacher.

Just hope & pray he and his family are doing well.

Thanks Ted, you are missed.

I would have like to seen Teds review of the Crown MK2 the Maverick and Impact M3. I enjoy watching his reviews especially the series he did on the superior liners. When setting up my 25 cal Maverick sniper I went to those series of video to see what slugs and pellets I should start with.

I watched Ted and his Matador, his reviews, testing, hunting, and on up to the FX Impact. I purchased an Impact because of Ted's videos. Ted burst onto youtube and was THE MAN. Great personality, excellent shooter, teacher, and airgunner. I miss Ted's witt and humor. I wish Ted only the best in life. Keyboard commandos ruin not help. 

I'm old enough to remember the arpanet, geeky grad students typing shorthand coded insults at each other on crt green screens. And these original keyboard commando's were supposed to teach us intro to computers. Don't type anything you wouldn't say in person. It's a good rule, but seldom followed.

Ted's back!

Check UTube.

I'd be willing to bet, he is sick of being tied down to BRANDS. How nice would it be to live freely and consume food off the entire buffet, without getting reamed for saying this chicken taste better than that chicken.

Ted did a whole lot for the pcp air gun community. I for one got into them because of him. He’s definitely the best out there. When he makes his videos he injects a whole lot o other things into them making them so much more real. This crazy world today doesn’t have a clue what real is and even more clueless what reality is. We have the right to free speech and we have to fight for it not cancel people out for saying things they believe. Ted got railroaded because of the things I mentioned above. I stand with Ted and we need more of his kind. He should do a comeback video with his Edgun that would be the icing on the cake
