Morning David good to see you out again I saw my consultant Thursday got the all clear so I am driving now I have now joined my local shooting range but I can only use my Bruno 22 rimfire and my air arms 22 rifle but it doesn't matter I can use my 17hhmr on My permissions I am doing OK I was hoping to go on my first partridge shoot yesterday to do some beating but I decided it would be to much for me so I went to my permission farm I di some target practice with my 22rf anyway good to see you out and about another good video with the 17hmr .
@@predatorprotectionuk Not just yet, but it won't be long now, maybe in another week or so, the colours of the leaves in the fall will soon show on the hillsides and around my place too.
Hello Robin, From what I saw that weekend I was out with you and Dwayne, you’re gonna need a lot !! Thanks very much for your reply too, I did say we were going to try to concentrate on taking head shots, but sadly Ollie has not attended the “All Arms Sniper School” so I believe he just got a bit unsure of his capabilities. If only we were born an Expert at everything eh?🤷🏼♂️ Good luck on the Hares, and be sure to aim well ok🫵😉
Hello Martin, That’s just brilliant 🤣🤣 I think I’m going to have a Predator Protection Christmas party, and invite all my viewers with a sense of humour. You’re sitting on the top table with Johnny Allen 👍👍 Thanks for watching chum.
good to see you out again david when i get time i will come over to the oxford shooting ground got a vid for you of my grandson shooting empty 12 and 410 cartages full of party poper steamers shot at 22 yard he had fun the an air rifle i dont know how to edit it or send it to you i ll even bring the fx pathera compact with pard 35 ds 70 nv and the fx king in177 with element titian on it for you to have a go with let me know wat days your at the oxford shooting ground
Hello and thanks for watching and writing in. The night mode is very good indeed, but the new Alpex is a step up again . It’s getting the right light combination which can take some time, but once sorted you can really get some good results 👍
I just got a CZ 457 Varmint as a training tool in .22 lr and am currently thinking about a second barrel for it in the future. I am a bit uncertain wether I want .17 hmr or .22 wmr, it seems like a matter of belief to most. Given the last shot at the fox I tend towards the .17 hmr, definitely looks more then suitable for any small game. Still I'd value your opinion on the matter! Cheers
Hello and good morning to you, Well, my Dad always said this, “If you don’t know the answer then don’t BS” That’s where I am right now with your great question. I’ve got a .17hmr, as you may have seen in previous videos? But as with everything, they are all dependent on certain aspects, range, weather, and the main thing, how good you can shoot? Folks have written to me claiming the .17 home isn’t suitable for Foxes, but an accurate shot in the right place, will certainly stop anything. I think you will have to work out your own options on this one. How far are you reasonably expecting to shoot out to, and what will you be shooting at ? Another thing is, Cost !! Ammo isn’t cheap nowadays and it’s not going to go down in price either. I’m going to do a series of videos with one of my Nieces, and take her as a completely new shooter, using a break barrel air rifle to.22lr, then .17hmr and finally my .243. Targets only for now, so be sure to hit the notification bell, and try not to miss that, I’m sure a lot of folks will enjoy watching her shoot. Good luck with your dilemma, and I’m sorry I didn’t have the magic answer. David
You deserve a prize chum 🏆🏆🏆 I was only talking to Andy Taylor on Wednesday here, about that nobody had mentioned the sound effects that I’d spent ages finding and sorting out 🤷🏼♂️ At least I know that one person appreciated it 🫵👍👍😃
@thomas05ish Well yes and no. My left leg is excellent but as expected it’s my right side that’s not good now. On a bad day, it’s almost back on crutches to get about. Hopefully 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 it’ll get sorted out soon 🙏🙏 Can you remember seeing Neil Armstrong walk down the steps??? I was 7 and watched it with a lounge full of American Airman and their families
Great to see you out again David Ollie You've got a great mentor 👍
Hello David, I was only the driver and navigator chum, everyone else did the work 😉👍

@davidbooth60 you make it sound like I’ve been in Wormwood Scrubs 🤣🤣🤣
It’s alright guvnor, I’m goin straight from now on👊👍

Well done John, my right hip has good days and bad ones, but I’m back on the meds for that for now
I enjoy shooting with the 17 HMR too, so this video is especially interesting for me. Not to mention that you're out and about David,.. good on ya!
Hi Reg, thanks very much matey. Are the Maple leaves starting to turn red yet, out there?
The one in our garden has gone a lovely colour now👍

Yay Bionic Chap! Great content and well done Olly!
Hi Jon,
Only half bionic matey, I’ve got a bit longer to wait before I can run and catch a fox, saving ammo 🤣🤣🤣
@@predatorprotectionuk You will get there chap. First fox tonight with that new thermal! #mrtechy
Great video mate loved it. I’ve just stocked up on HMR ammo ready for a Hare reduction mission. Can’t wait to get out. See you soon.

I love all your films 👍👍
Thanks for watching mine
Very impressed by the nv. Thermal is king but nv seems very good
Hello and thanks for watching and writing in.
The night mode is very good indeed, but the new Alpex is a step up again .
It’s getting the right light combination which can take some time, but once sorted you can really get some good results 👍
can you do a video showing how you changed the set up of the Alpex to make it look better please
Hi Steve, if you email me chap, with your phone number I’ll speak to you, it’s far easier 👍
