- We’re all about shooting sticks for shooting deer, extraction kit for hauling the carcase home, and a beginner’s guide to mounts in this episode of Fieldtester. David hosts, Tim Pilbeam and Roy Lupton chat, and all three of them try a variety of modern shooting kit. It’s Gadget Show for shooting sports. Meanwhile, James Marchington is off to the NSRA at Bisley to find out about batch-testing ammunition - how ammo manufacturer RWS makes sure you ammo is ‘of quality’.
Here is the kit showcased in this show:

I love this video idea, but I wish it was structured better, I wish we got to see more of each tripod/quadpod ect and see some shots using each one to get both opinions on them.
You boys are having way too much fun! Love the shows
I am fairly new to the air gun world of the modern day, I found this quite interesting having these chaps explain in simple terms what things do and their limitations. thanks to all.
A great and informative show guys and good laugh as well.Thanks so much,from Australia
Great infornatve segment enhanced by great banter, lots of chuckles.🙂👍
David, that must rank as one of your best chat productions. It was so relaxed and genial it was as if I was in the shed/ man cave (sign on wall) with you three. Tim and Roy passed on knowledge and experience in such a humorous way it was such a pleasure to watch. I use a Gen 2 Trigger Stick and oh yes, one must practice at the range and keep doing so to keep one's aim in. With regards the Tatonka backack; I saw it being used in a UA-cam video a little while back, from "Rogee Productions" where he used it to recover an deer whilst on one of his walk-in hunts in New Zealand. I asked him about it and he said that it was a field trial he was doing and that he found it ideal. Now in NZ the recoveries can be very challenging. When I was back over 3 years ago and went hunting my nephew he carried the fallow stag I shot up a very steep hill, with stag on his back piggy-back style, and having seen the Tatonka thought "That's what he needed". and having searched the internet none could be found....not yet released onto the market...I suspect it will sell well in NZ. Anyway David, keep up the good work.
Thank you James.👍👍D
Love this! It’s like getting the chance to sit down with you guys and get all the things answered you always wanted to know. Silly questions and all! More of this please
what a bunch of kids hahaha! Happy learning is easy learning.
Extraction wise. I carry a flexible drag sledge. Folds away into any rucksack. Mine came with a webbing strap which i fixed to a shoulder harness. Dragged out two red deer last year and it went pretty well. Just avoid the rockie areas
WHEEL BARROW CHALLANGE! I’m in Sussex and I believe I have the best option! I have recently purchased an electric wheel barrow! With off road front tyre it’s perfect when you cannot get a vehicle onto wet ground. The yanks use them a lot in construction. Worth an look.
Picatinny Rails are great but I have learned 2 important lessons. Firstly .308 Mannlicher Pro Hunter shooters beware: there are at least 6 variations of where the mounting threads are on the receiver and many sellers of picatinny rails do not realise this, nor (amazingly enough) does Akah who own Steyr Mannlicher. After 12 months and 5 different rails I got a blank and had it drilled as a bespoke. Secondly, if you want to swap a normal scope with a thermal sight and use a moderator, ensure the mounts are high enough to avoid thermal white out in the bottom half of the thermal picture after 3 quick shots. A thermal cover on the moderator is some mitigation but not total.
Love this format. Love the banter 👍😎
I'm watching from the US, I enjoy your programs. Regarding extraction - This last year after 2 of us middle age guys struggled to pull a 200 pound whitetail buck up a hill & then 3 of us struggled to lift it onto the back of the 4 wheeler, I bought a Shappell Jet Sled XL. It is meant to pull behind a snow machine but it slides right over mud, dirt, grass, everything but gravel & rock. Regarding the scope mounts, I like pic rails on a tactical weapon but not on a hunting gun, as noted they push the optics up higher. I use a standard Leupold or Redfield base with turn in style rings & a Leupold M8 4x fixed power scope with the lowest rings that line up with my eyeball. Keep is simple, set it up & forget it.
Thanks - good info
That was one of the best vlogs, for content and entertainment. Kept me totally engaged, thanks guys.
Thanks Rick, 😊 D
Great content and subjects, I’ve got a cheap set of quad sticks that work, and are OK to deploy after some practice, as Tim and Roy both agreed.
Going onto picatinny mounts, Warne QD Return to Zero are fitted to all my scopes and do exactly what the box says👍 I just had to fit taller ones on my thermal scope to reduce the “Sunrise” of the hot moderator , after a shot.
I did a video about QD mounts last year, to prove that they actually work.
Thank you for the episode, as always, top class work👍
The sticks bit….‘Last of the Sommer wine‘ comes to mind here . Great show
i use a deer sled with straps off of a golf stand bag, these episodes are great
Thank you very much everyone .
Brilliant shows so funny great people!
Brilliant video really great content
You guys should try the blaser quad sticks that have the swivel front mount. You get the stability of the quad sticks but means you can twist the front grip ti move the rifle left and right. I borrowed a set on my dsc1 and loved them but can justify dropping £200 on a set of sticks! Brilliant video as always! Would be great to see some testing of .17hmr ammo.
I bought a set of Primos Trigger Sticks a few years ago, used in the rain and next time I went to use them, they had completely seized. Got a refund and bought a Viperflex quad pod with 5th leg.. Very stable and the whistling is stopped by insulation tape down the holes. Brilliant bit of kit
Hi
I have recently found Dentler mounts , but before these I have used a lot of different mounts , you have to order from optics trade in Slovenia ( I think !! ) but in my opinion they are the best return to zero mounts available today , I regularly switch from thermal to day scope and I have never lost zero yet
You can even buy a variable mount so that you an buy 1 scope to fit different rifles and still not loose zero and you don't have to re-zero your scope !!
Great show David, I would say “buy once and cry once”… and as Tim says KISS… really enjoyed 👍
Thank you JM👍..and great to catch up at BSS.
This was great to see! Good info! Good fun! Just perfect
Hello all, I am using a garden trolley for removing my deer. Thank you for the information on the sticks and the optics.
Thanks guys , really enjoyed that film .
Would like a film on gun cleaning, solvents/ oils / grease etc . How clean is clean ! . Shooting with a dirty barrel or oiled barrel .
I have a cleaning routine that works for me , but still a grey area ,with no definitive approach.
We use a carp Porter, fishing trolley, plasterers bath sits on the top 👍
Great video. I’ve stitched together a webbing shoulder/ backpack style sling to extract Roe and Fallow. Ergonomic and easy to stash away in a pocket or bumbag. Need to tie neck up to stop flopping around but quick and easy to use regardless. Cost me nothing to make from old webbing and plastic buckles from old rucksacks
Exellent work as usual. Even learned few things 👍🏻🌿🌿
Great video. Newcomer to rifle so trying to understand as much as possible so I don't empty my bank account due to ignorance. Thanks
Always a joy to listen to your discussions and varying points of view based on what I guess is 50+ combined years of experience.
Honestly guys! Here in New Zealand you would never get any meat out of the forest or mountains if you relied on devices to recover your kills. Here you man up and carry it out in pieces!...Many trips if you want the whole animal.
Great show guys keep them coming
Brilliant video, love the rail system part, I’m very interested in an aim point style scope
Evening chaps. Great video. Love the informal approach you had with it. A good amount of information regarding sticks, and who ever that man cave belongs it looks amazing 👍
interesting you can always learn extra little things and tips great job gents
Loved it, one of the best video's........... :-)
Great video as always chaps...
Don’t like quad sticks on uneven ground what a Faff!All the demos seem to be on lovely flat meadows in England not mountains and hills in Scotland and Wales etc!
Mounts, Just buy Warne vertical split mounts, the best. Sticks just buy Viper flex, no others needed. 💪🏻
Informative and entertaining, keep up the good work and enjoying the pleasures of life
I use the dead sled most of the time for the fallow
Fantastic guys thanks for the footage 💪😁🇬🇧👌
I suspect shooting sticks are not a thing with American hunters is that they typically hike farther into the wilderness that is more diverse terrain than what the typical European hunter experience; meaning American hunters are not interested in carrying extra weight they don't need when natural rests are typically available such as trees and such.
More bipods in use in US also, first it was Harris they used so much of and everyone liked it so the Snipers adopted or borrowed it from other rifles. Then the Versapod came which is a copy of Parker Hale,perhaps the best of them for many years to come, but also much of the rifle alihg also with the US . And quick sling ala Rhodesian Sling is one many would benefit to get one of to fix on rifle.
@@MrPh30 Yeah, the "shooting sling" has largely been forgotten among hunters. I also like the Ching-Sling in addition to the Rhodesian-Sling .
Yeah, the Harris bipod is simple and light, and the Parker-Hale/Versa-pod provides a hand stop for sling shooting with the QD pod legs.
Sticks? Dropped my first doe at 650yds with a 7mm rem mag off a cheap bi pod with a 10x scope off a freelander bonnet. Didn't take another step..
Hey guys I recommend you watch TheGrafBoys Hunting for a living on how to use a pack frame to carry out deer
Poor david, being disabled I do the same as Roy did at the start to my friends all the time they hate it ha ha
If you like sticks watch sagebrush longshots.
Have you lot had a long lunch?
With the Swapping of the aimpoint, doesn't it have to be placed on the excact spot on the rail, as it was before?
30:35 That's a Pentium 4!
Those old Dell Dimensions run forever, just dust them every year or so.
Okay you guys are having way too much fun,where you hinding the pints !
Using a Blaser? Wanker! Roy is the business! Look at that...off hand, moving target, Tikka, that´s it!
Leave David Wright alone!
Shooting is always fun, and I enjoyed your outings. I was recently fortunate enough to purchase a 7x57 Mauser which Jim Corbett referred to as .275 Rigby as I recall. Do you ever mess with vintage militaria under the banner of Make your Rifle Perfect? Just curious, thanks.
As a "yank" I tank offense lol. You don't see hunters on video using them but in the real world you do. Simple is better. Practice at all angles, in mud, snow etc.
Nice video
Sledge sledge sledge.... where do i send a video?
I enjoyed this informative and entertaining video, but please don't get too 'Top Gear'.

Always loved your channel. But this format is complete and total rubbish.
