    Man it’s weird to watch these videos after not seeing your channel for years, I remember as a kid maybe 14 your videos got me into air guns and I got a little 120$ gamo break barrel .17 with a scope and started getting really into squirrel hunting and pest control for farmers! Hope you start posting more, maybe I’ll dust off the old gamo haha.

      Hey man, I'm in the same boat. Im in my twenties now and I have a .25 marauder that just sits... I would love to break it out and help with pest control! I never did do that for farmers when I was a kid tho, could you tell me how you got into that and how it went? I'd like to do it but I dont know any farmers and don't know where to start :/ it would be awesome if you reply! Thanks

    I realized after uploading that it may not be entirely obvious how I broke my WildCat. I left it on the bed, resting upright on the bipod when I went outside to gather up the dead starlings. While I was out, the mattress gave way from the weight of the gun, and the WildCat tipped over and rolled off the bed on to the floor. That is why I called myself “stupid.” 🥴 I should have laid the gun on its side.

    I'm in .22 and I know by experience that the hammer upgrade can be a pain in the butt if you don't know what to do to tune it once installed. To much preload will throw your fps way off
    Marco adjustments was must for me

    There was a feral cat around my house who would hide in the bushes and whenever I shot a house sparrow under the bird feeder, she would dash out and grab it and take off. She was my retriever cat. I would occasionally put the sparrows and starlings on the corner of the driveway and at night the feral cats would pick up the sparrows but never touch the starlings.

    @starlightHT 3 роки тому +1

    A question didn't you get the WC with different power after tightening the two screws? It makes a difference because the pellet probe is a little further forward or further back from the transfer port hole. Another thing that prevents the pcp from being able to arm is the trigger that is too light. It also can't arm.

They are awesome in my .25 Avenger and wack furry critters really hard. Great pellet.They will hover over a fallen comrade and end up falling victim there selves😉. My LCS is super effective with that semiautomatic action too. They just get dead. Awesome shooting bud. So much fun smashing these birds. Cool video. Looking forward to more. God bless.

      4x32 is the perfect power for a Ruger 10/22. I've killed hundreds of groundhogs, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons and other pests with mine since I got this particular one in 1990. Stainless with a wood stock.

    Ahh, a Ted video! These make my day. I have tried watching several other pesting channels but none live up to Ted. You sir have my viewership as long as you make videos. Hope you have a good day.
