The Rats Are Returning - Air Rifle Pest Control
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- The weather is getting colder, summer has faded into autumn and winter will be along soon. All those rats that have enjoyed the fields and the free crops are coming in to the farms as harvesting continues.
This is only the beginning!
I'd like to say a huge thank you to my sponsors OnTarget.
OnTarget opened in March 2015 and incorporates a fully stocked Air Weapons store, a 25 yard indoor Air Weapons range and a Cafe.
Their mission is to provide the Midlands with a unique leisure destination for all air rifle shooting enthusiasts, whether you are a seasoned shooter or just want to try out the sport for the first time.

The Duff pellets shooting to the Left will more than likely be due to a Housekeeping Issue at JSB?? ie, Dirt under a particular Pellet Die set, causing "Axial Squareness/Runout Error." They'll be able to see that by checking the Height of the Skirt at 2 or more points!!
Your commentary always keeps me watching till the end. Great work mate.
Cheers Colin! I try to keep it light hearted. It's quite a dark subject I suppose! 😁 Thanks for your continued support in watching. I appreciate it! 👍👍
sorry to be off topic but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any help you can offer me.
@Ismael Wyatt instablaster =)
@Khari Ezekiel Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Khari Ezekiel It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
"No one likes a premature shooter- ask your wife".
Had to subscribe after that comment!!
Great shooting with brilliant & funny commentary.
Great shooting and commentary once more mate. Always look forward to your work. 🥳🥳🤠😎👊
Cheers Sir Victory! Very kind. It's nice to see your name pop up on the comments. Thanks for watching another episode! 👍👍
Video and commentary are very enjoyable. Spot on shooting also. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching - I really appreciate it! Merry Christmas. 🎄🎄
It's so nice of them to light up the little lamps on their heads. And so polite to stick their heads out and hold perfectly still for the pellet to travel the required distance to splatter their brains all over the background. You have some very courteous vermin in your area! lol
Hahaha. Very courteous... and very stupid. 😁 Still, that helps me a lot. 👍😁
Always enjoy your commentary and your shooting. Good work 🙂🙂
Thanks MaggieD... I appreciate it. Thanks for watching!!
good video, good instruction, good humor and i think no miss shots
Thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment. Much appreciated. 👍👍
Good stuff as always. I really need a thermal.. the pipe spot and shot was brilliant.
Amazing it was so far up the pipe and you got him. Well done.
Thank you!
Thermal is another level! It makes the job so much easier, like in the situation with the pipe, I'd never have spotted that little sod in there! It's awesome!
Great video, good to see them dispatched humanely unlike the poisons. Just wondering what your scope/ night vision/thermal and range finder setup is? Keep up the good work 👍
Excellent shooting and humour mate, well done.
Geoff.
Thanks Geoff! I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching mate. 👍👍
"NO ONE LIKES A PREMATURE SHOOTER, ASK YOUR WIFE" - best comment ever !
Hahahaha. Thank you! 😂👍
Had a stomach ache due to laughter
That made me laugh so much i missed the next 2 minutes of the video.😆😆😆
Hahaha. Thanks Charlotte! Thanks for the kind words! 😂👍
Hookers do
"And for that matter, a dead rat is a good rat!" This video is full of little gems!
Do you use the ABL to auto move your poi adjustment with the ballistics calc?
I do. Some say it's cheating. If I was target shooting I'd agree but with pest control, it's absolutely awesome being able to ping the target, adjust the PoI and hit them quickly.
Thanks for awesome video of Morbid rodent opting!
Thanks my friend. I've just changed back to .177, more shooting coming soon!! 👍👍
that switched him off good and proper. lol
Brilliant mate can't beat putting some ventilation holes in there heads, they love it!!!👍🏻🙈😂🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻
Not as much as the farmer does! 🤣 Thanks for watching!! 👍
This is like watching SKY F1 ...proper stuff
Thanks for watching!! 👍 Hope you're well.
This the time of year the pest control business picks ups. Well done Jonny clearing out some of the rat and pigeon infestation 👍
Cheers my friend. I hope you're well mate! 😁👍
I am brother and same to you 👍
Always a pleasure to watch. Stay safe.
You too my friend! Thanks for watching mate. 😁
Good video and commentary. Thank you.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching. Keep safe. 👍
Love the running commentary
Thank you Colin. I appreciate the kind feedback! 👍👍
A lot of great shots, you sure keep em coming, cheers Tom LI NY
Great video and shooting! 28 shots in the one hole. WoW!
The rifle loves those pellets! The rats don't however! 🤣 Thanks for watching mate! 👍👍
Good clean kills, cracking video and commentary!
Cheers Ian!! I don't think they appreciate the humour. Or the free pellets for that matter! 🤣👍
Corpse em 🔫 💨🔥
Great shooting- fat rats, would love to see the pile post shoot!
I'll try and remember to get a photo. I used to always add the final count photo. 👍
When i lived on a farm for a while in the middle of nowhere with nothing on the tv, shooting rats could keep you occupied all night.
It's awesome fun. It helps the farmers out but it's also a very satisfying sport! 👍 Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Forgot to add .... awesome shooting mate😄👍🏼
Super videos, keep them coming. You recommend the JSB RS could I ask what sort of fps do you get from them in a sub 12 ft rifle.
Thanks mate. I appreciate that! 😁
I'm getting 11.4 fpe (max) in my Impact. They fly straight and connect hard! You tried them?
@@arpc Not tried them yet. Bought two tins from JS Ramsbottom. Will be using them in an Air Arms S510 which is giving 11.8 with JSB Exact 15.90.
I get scared when it gets that high! 😁😂
@@arpc A cautionary tale. I bought a new HW 100 in .177 from a local dealer. After a few days it started to go up in power. On testing it one morning about 3 weeks after buying it, it was over 13 lbs. I took it back to the dealer. It was sent away for repair. It was away almost 9 weeks. When I eventually got a call telling me it was back from repair I went to collect it. I took my chrono with me since it is quite a long driver to the dealer. The dealer also has a shooting range. I tested the rifle. It was producing almost 14 lbs. I informed the dealer who tested it with his chrono just to confirm my test. He said it would have to be sent away again. I told him I did not want the gun and requested that he exchanged it for a new S510 in .177. He agreed, but did not have one, and would have to order one from Air Arms. When I went to collect this AA rifle, again I took my chrono with me. Straight from the AA factory this gun was giving out almost 14.5 lbs. Again the dealer confirmed the test. He phoned AA and they said they would send out a replacement. Note of caution even when buying a new gun always check its power. Never assume it is under the 12 ft limit just because it is new. The dealer assumed that because the HW had returned from repair that it would be OK. Again he assumed that the new first AA would be OK. Before calling me to go and collect the replacement AA he checked it with his chrono. It was OK. I checked it myself before leaving. On two occasions he handed me rifles which required a firearm certificate. My advice to anyone, with a legal limit air rifle, even with new ones, is to chrono, chrono, chrono.
Excellent video well done top shooting stay safe out there bud peace 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Cheers Phil. Thank you! 👍👍
Great commentary
Nice clean video
A good Rat is a Dead Rat
Cheers Tony! Thank you for watching another episode mate.
You are awesome. Trying to start doing that here in my home town in the US. Thanks.
My pleasure. Thank you for watching, and taking time to comment. I appreciate it.
Nice to see a Limey who can prioritize his pests. Too often I see videos where the shooters of squirrels use pest control as an excuse even though being in the deep woods??
In the UK Grey Squirrels are an invasive species. It's illegal to release or re-release a grey squirrel.
They're massive pests here and shooting, trapping, sterilisation and sometimes poisoning is encouraged.
They can be shot anywhere in the UK.
if everyone did commentary as well as you do U Tube would never be off , brilliant yet again keep them coming , "well thats what she said ".
Thanks Keith!! Much appreciated - I will have some new content out in the coming weeks! Thanks for watching! 👍👍
Sweet shooting...do you clean up the rats after their demise? It would be a bit smelly and attract other critters if you don't, right?
Thank you!! Yes, they're all cleared up and disposed of as per the landowners plan. Thanks for watching!! 👍👍
At 6.15 played at .25 playback speed you can see the pellet go straight through the rat hit the wall and twirl onto the ground
I saw the clip you mean!! I need to slow down and watch it closer. 😁 👍
Nice shooting, good commentary, thanks for the excellent video.
Thank you! Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. 😁👍
Awesome as usual! Good point about pest control taking place in non meat farming systems. 👊🏻
Thank you! It's amazing how much pest control goes on and how much is costs farmers. All of which affects the profit margins and the end products.
Thanks for watching another episode! 👍
@@arpc your videos are one of three you tube channels that I always hit “like” just as it starts. 👍🏻
Cheers David. I hope that continues mate! 👍👍
Great shooting! Thanks for the early view
Thanks is my friend! I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! 👍👍
Another great video lots of information ,important to let people know the job we ratters do 👍🐀
Thanks mate. I absolutely love the work but people don't realise how much money and effort you need to invest.
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated 👍👍
EDUCATIONAL & VERY ENJOYABLE, LOVED THE BANTER (even if it was one way)
Just come across your video purely by accident. . Omg pellet gun have come on since I was a nipper. Whats your set up . I've friends with chickens and the poison isn't working and I think shooting is more humain. Any advice would be great 👍
They've come of loads in recent years. The quality is awesome and the tech is a whole new level.
If you've got rats in the chicken pens, I'd keep baiting them, keep feeding them and go after them with an NV setup.
If you've not got IR, red lamps are a good option.
Thanks for watching mate.
My setup is here:

Nice commentary and good shooting thanks for sharing
Thank you!! I really appreciate your kind words! 👍👍
Well done! Great hunt and great shooting! Keep the videos coming.
Thank you! Thanks for watching! 👍👍
good evening my friend! you shot very well! i had the same problem with JSP, i had to clean the barrel as there was residual motion! greetings from Italy! Merry Christmas
Thank you and welcome! I hope you're all doing OK over there.
I was thinking if a barrel clean and re-zero. Apparently there rifles need a good clean straight from the factory. I didn't do that and I've had a good number of rounds through the barrel.
See how it goes anyway!
it's hard! but we're all fine! I hope you too!
Great intro and good to see new videos thank you
Thank you so much. I've got more planned so stick with me! 😁👍
@@arpc Will do
Cracker Jonny.
Showing us how its done properly.
Thanks for the viewing man,and the calculator. Cheers big ears.
Cheers Ivor!! My pleasure. Thanks for watching mate. I hope you're getting out plenty!
Time stamp 7:14 M8 that was a super rat pushing the rock away while scraping the mange out of her tail. I see the rat pop is coming down thanks to M8s like you. Keep up the good work. God bless y'all.
They're hardy things! Absolutely awful animals. I'm out tonight to see if I can bag a more at another location.
Thanks for watching Gus! 😁👍
Great stuff ... Excellent shooting ...
Thanks Mark. Cheers for watching another episode mate. Always appreciated.
These are great vlogs, thanks for posting. I had no rat/mice problem, but, the occasional ground hog(woodchuck), skunk, opossum, or raccoon. BUt, we do the exterminating as we go. Mostly air rifle, small caliber rifle or pistol. Thanks for posting and looking forward to more. Oh I subscribed too and high five!
Great shooting mate, I enjoyed watching that.
Thanks mate. Much appreciated!! 😁👍
Do you pick up all the dead rats
Yes. I pick up as many as I can and put them wherever the landowners tell me to.
Such large rats!?! With some body shots are you using an FAC rated rifle? Great shooting regardless
Hi Edmund, they're big alright. They're fed well clearly 🤣. The rifle if sub 12 but it really does a job on the rats. I always prefer head shots but the upper body shots are lethal. They die very quickly indeed!
Great Vid. Love those JSB RS. They never disappoint.
They're quality. I love them. JSB have some awesome products now!
Good video thanks
What gun and night scope?! Insane Accuracy and visibility!
Hi there! Happy New Year!
I'm using the ATN X-Sight 4k Pro and a Brinyte illuminator.
My full set up is here:
ua-cam.com/video/GwvUjMRxV3M/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching!! 👍
Good vid mate. Just ask ya wife🤣
Keep them coming😉
😂 She's the boss. Thanks you! Thanks for watching!!
What gun are you using and sights please I’ve got some rats on the allotment
Just a quick question about your scope. Is the range finder built in? What is the make and model of your night vision scope? Great videos!
The rangefinder is the ATN ABL1500. It's a separate unit that bolts on to the scope which is the ATN X-Sight 4k Pro 3-14.
They connect via Bluetooth and when I range a target, it sends this data to the scopes onboard ballistic calculator to adjust the point of impact meaning I don't ever have to worry about ranges and holding over/under for my shots.
Fantastic shooting well done fella .👍🇬🇧🍺🤘
What happened to the right hand drifting pellets, never seen a projectile at knows its left from right?
I didn't hear anything back. I switch away from Hades.
This is an honest question how do you dispose of the dead rats safely?
It depends on the permission. Some like them binned, others in a septic tank, other on a bonfire. Depends entirely on the land owner and any legal requirements not restrictions they have in place.
I've never had any luck with Diablo pellets. My favorite are the H&N Sport field target trophy 14.66 grain
I've tried to many. I always end up back at standard Diabolo style. If I go FAC, I will go straight for Slugs. Love to try them out.
These rats 🐀 have been around since the 14th century. And they are still here.
You are definitely doing a great job 👏
They're very hardy and adaptive animals. Credit to them. They're touch animals!!
cracking cometary..... 12 of 10.... thumbs up ! (BTW. shooting ability aren't half bad either.... ;) )
De ja vou, nice shooting again Jonny 👍👍
Haha. Cheers mate. 👍 You latest is on my Watch Later for bedtime viewing! 😁
Nice shooting. Always good to see these disease carriers dispatched.
Thank you! There's nothing better than seeing these things nailed. 👍 Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas! 🎄
Crisp shooting again 👍
Cheers Robert! Much appreciated. 👍
Hi Jonny do you have the batch number on the .22 Hades ? Reason I ask is at the range at the weekend I noticed a couple of times being off to the left even though my breathing/composure was pretty spot on and Pard on zero I only use Hades as these were used when RAT work tuned . Thanks .
Yes mate. It's: 76580019.
Is that the same as you've got?
@@arpc will check when I get the chance and let you know . Thanks for getting back to me much appreciated.
Please do.
You're welcome.
Commentry is excellent 👌
Cheers Matthew! Thank you for watching mate! 👍
Well done. 👍
Calculator 👍👍NICE🤪🤪
Always funny comments from ya , have a happy and safe Xmas 🎄
You too mate. And thanks for watching. I do appreciate it. Have a lovely Christmas. 👍
Dude u would LOVE puerto rico. There r rats EVERYWHERE HERE!! N HUGE ONES AT THAT!! Its why I ordered a air rifle myself. Should be here in 2 days n I CANT WAIT!! 😁
Excellent video and I love the commentary lol hilarious
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and your kind comments. 👍👍
Thank you for replying stay safe merry Christmas to you and the family happy 2021😷🐀🐀
All the best. Merry Christmas. 🎄
LOVE the commentary.
Do you collect what you dispatch? I know it isn't easy. I charge per body.
Great shooting. I used to shoot field target years ago with a Weirauch. Changed days now. I'm into photography now. Both hobbies can become expensive ;) Subscribed now
Hi Drew! Thank you for the sub. I really appreciate it my friend. FT is an awesome discipline. I do agree with you on the expense. It can become very expensive if you're not careful, but if you enjoy it, you go with it!
Take care and thanks for watching! 👍👍
@@arpc Watching this I found myself holding my breath to take the shot.
I hope that's a good thing. I'm not a fan of point and shoot. I prefer to wait for that well places shot and get the humane kill.
In my view, anyone can just lob some lead at a target and hope for the best. That's not what proper airgunning is about.
Not that I need to explain that to an FT guy! 😁
those jsb pellets are spot on thats all i use in my bsa r10 mk2 22 and its pellet on pellet accuracy .
They're awesome aren't they. Fly true and hit hard. They make such a lovely crack when the hit the rats! 😁👍
When you say upper body shot is it chest area or centre of side area
Heart and Lungs. Tear them up and kill the animal.
Top video; Like guaranteed!!!
Is this kit available in the United States?
LOVE YOUR TALKING MATE"

I RELEASED MY HUNTING VIDEOS AND FOX CALL, IN THE UK" IN THE LATE 90"-s" AND EARLY 2000'-s.
BUT YOU MY FRIEND F....K" CRACKED ME UP! WITH HOW YOU SAY THINGS ABOUT A RAT!!!
BLOODY CLASSIC MATE!
THANKS FOR GETTING BACK TO ME. CHEERS ANDRE GEORGESCU.
Andre, Your videos were IMHO the best of their era. I still keep an old VHS set up to watch them when possible. What you could do with the old Omark44 .308 pre FFP laser etched reticle scopes and Laser rangefinders was amazing. Also watching you catch Great Whites made me wonder how you were able to lay prone with balls the size of Watermelons. Always wondered what happened to you. ARPC is brilliant. Glad to see you are still going strong and enjoying some Pommie shooter humour. Thanks for all the great shooting inspiration! 👍🏻

THANKS FOR TAT"👍
YES STILL PROFESSIONAL SHOOTING. HAVE OVER 30,000" FOX UNDER MY BELT. SAD WITH WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR WORLD WITH THIS CON"-19"VIRUS.
SO MUCH AND SO MANY THINGS HAVE CHANGED, BUT THIS IS LIFE. AS I SAID MATE,,, I LOVE THE WAY YOU CAN COME UP WITH SO MANY SAYINGS ABOUT A RAT!!! AND OFCOURSE I STILL GET A SMILE OUT OF NEW THINGS AND VIDEOS SPECIALLY MADE IN THE UK" MOST OF MY GOOD FRIENDS ARE FROM THE UK" AND EUROPE.
PLEASE ALL" KEEP SAFE! AND KEEP SMILING. CHEERS FROM AG" SOUTH AUSTRALIA. 🤠👍👍👍🙏
Great dialog! Keep them coming.
Thanks Phil! Merry Christmas! 🎄
4:56 a double back flip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great video i hate those filthy beasts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice shooting dude, commentary was almost as good as the shooting too.
Awesome work as always mate.
Cheers my friend. Thanks for watching! 😁👍
@@arpc It is always an absolute pleasure Johnny.
Subscribed because the commentary is pure gold! Would like to know where the narrator was born and raised.
Keep it up bud
Cheers mate! 👍👍
Top quality in every aspect mate 👍
Cheers Lee. I love to see your comments and support mate. Merry Christmas buddy!
Credit where its due mucka 👍
Merry christmas bud 🎅
How do you know when it dies in its frenzie
I love it, when you speak it is like the brotha Ali G speaking Mon!! Keep this up bruda
Good shooting. I have always wondered why nobody shoots the rats in the head from behind, but, you did!
It's tricky to get that angle. I'd never shoot up the back end to kill. My preferred shot is a head shot, then high body shot. Either a lethal, especially with a larger pellet and kill quickly! 👍
@@arpc I am referring to the shot at 11:55, I don't know that it went "up the back", but, it did hit the rat in the head from behind. Maybe it went up the neck a bit. Great shooting.
@@BadlndsBob Gotcha! Yes, it was Hugh enough to smash his head. The angle was fine either way because if it fell short, it would have been a high body shot. Both humane shots. I shots up the arse end however. That's a no-no.
Your abl mounted behind the focus ring but sitting on top vertically?
It's mounted in front, in the sunshades. It's on top so it fits in my case. I get exactly the same results. 👍
If there's something more fun than shooting rats and other varmints I would sure like to hear of it.
I've owned 22s and they are not as quiet as your air rifle,why? Just curious love your videos.
This is a PCP. These are really quiet. There's no moderator on this rifle, it's just the shrouded barrel and an end cap.
We're you shooting springers? They're generally louder.
My pcp Airforce Airguns Condor without the muzzle end cap on the barrel shroud is very loud. Gives me temporary tinnitus when fired. With the muzzle end cap attached to the barrel shroud, the shot blast is like those air-powered carpenter nail drivers.
Hahaha very funny commentary love it
Thank you. Thanks for watching! 👍
Quality shooting there 👍
What's a good air rifle to start ratting with?
Thanks mate.
You can use any rifle. Ideally a PCP as these are quieter and pretty consistent from shot to shot.
You don't have to break the bank. Jump into a forum like AirgunForum.co.uk and search there it ask. It has a range of shooters with varying experience and knowledge and also has a sales section. They're a good bunch!
You'll get better and more varied advice there. I use it regularly.
Great video 👍👍👍👍
Thanks again Ian!! 👍👍👍
I live next to a landfill and have Rats all over. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me a good air rifle to buy and what type of scope to buy
Fantastic!
Cheers Carl. Thanks for watching. Merry Christmas! 👍🎄
Love this video your shooting is almost as good as your commentary 🙂
Thanks Jim Mac. It has its moments. I'll try and up my game a little! 👍
Thanks you for the comments and for watching! Much appreciated!! 👍👍
