Thank you to the people involved in making this video. I found it extremely honest and relevant and found alot in common with my experience. As a fairly newby, I did exactly the same thing, zeroing in my air rifle, in the field. I use a legal limit 12ftlb air rifle .177 calibre. I found difficulty in hitting my shots at pigeons up in the trees. I guessed that through gravity and the pellet climbing, I would have to use extra holdover. However, through experience, I've personally found this not always to be the case. I've personally found pigeon up in trees at forty yards, zeroed at forty yards, doesn't require holdover. It really is a learning curve, with experience required. The good side is, if you use too much holdover, you'll miss your intended altogether. So that means no wounding, which is a win-win for me. Thankyou to you all. Best wishes.
Hello Fieldsports Channel. Thank you for your like, to my like comment. What I forgot to write is, when folks like you, post films like this, it gives ordinary people like me confidence to continue and persevere with what I'm trying to achieve. It also makes me feel normal when I seem to be facing the same challenges and hurdles as the pros. It's also immensely satisfying to achieve your goal in what you are trying to do with the added backup and enthusiasm your films give.. Thankyou.
I'm going to settle the whole anti hunting concept right here. I work as a conservationist, and there are times I have to tap a few critters for various reasons. Disease, over population, and the risk associated to property and crops are just a few reasons why I have to kill them. If I trap a mink I have to kill it humanely, shooting it works well, better than breaking it's neck or stoving it's head in with a baton, which is the only other methods. Now if it's safe to do so, I will eat what I've killed, and I use it's fur. It's a way of life for me. Now I'm not barbaric, I love nature and the critters around, that's why I love my job. However I understand that we have to control the populations or we get over run and they starve to death. Barbarism is causing needless suffering, something I'm completely against, I kill humanely. Now I take it if you can't stand animals dying, if your dog was dying of cancer you'd call the vet evil for ending it's suffering. I'm sorry but when I cull old deer it's because their teeth are bad and they will starve to death, in that spence I'm just doing a vets job with a high powered rifle.
Once I was riding my motorcycle in the rain. A "momma cat" with a kitten in her mouth crossed my path and I ran it over. Turned out it was a mink stealing a kitten. So I saved the kitten and my bike, and cut the mink in half 👌
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to make this video. I learned quite a bit that will prove useful as I make my first foray into the world of air rifles. I've been an outdoorsman and hunter since my youth. I currently use a compound bow, but only for game that's on the ground. This will help provide healthy, nutritious food for me and my family by giving me the ability to gather food quietly from the trees as well as on the ground.
Very helpful video, as I've been zeroing a 177 at 30metres. The comparison between the 22 and 177 and the ranges you chose for zeroing made me feel more comfortable Thank you
Stop crying in the UA-cam comments section about animal rights. Nobody cares. if you don't approve of the activities in this video, watch something else or better get get off the computer and get involved in politics if you feel so strong about a bird getting shot.
The worst part is that they explain exactly why they shoot these animals, and people still bitch about it. If it was COMPLETELY pointless, I could understand the uproar, but it is just ridiculous how naive these people are.
Being from the South, I had "a bit of a chuckle" at the sight of a Brit in field camo. But this is an excellent tutorial for dialing in your air gun. We can shoot most anything we like firearm-wise around these parts but air guns are near and dear to a large majority of us. Bettering our chances of an ethical, clean kill is always a priority (unless it's our daughter's suitors in question...). Cheers.
Thank you for taking the time to show this video, I'm an ex target shooter, used to shooting low powered smooth air rifles and small bore long rifles, now I'm been drafted in by my girlfriend to control our rabbit population in the orchard as they are under mining it and she gets the lawn mower stuck which damages the steering, and not to mention break an ankle in the holes! I have acquired a powerful 12ft/lb .22 springer and now will look into a good spring rated mill dot scope, I can range OK by the apple trees but I might put some markers out, I will mostly be shooting from the window. For now I'm learning to group with the springy springer. I will zero at 30yrds and see if that helps. Thanks.
Over a million views!, that's brilliant. Well done and keep them coming. Love the Fieldsportschannel, it feels like I know you guys. Many thanks, look forward to seeing a lot more.
Yep we dont need anymore of them...Good for you vegans and vegetarians but stop acting like youre better than anyone else and stop trying to shove it down our throatsl lol youre not Jesus Christ.
What a fantastic video. I have been looking for something along these lines for a bit. You showed the trajectory for both .22 and .177 and with such detail. I never thought about zeroing in like that. I use open sights and a 10.5 grain .177 pellet from a Webley Vulcan and usually just zero at average shooting distance about 20 yards. I am going to invest in a scope and really do some honing in after seeing this. Thanks again from the US.
i am into .22 lr but recently i was interested in air rifles.. kudos to you ...this video shows the difference between a rifle cartridge and a air rifle . air rifle pellets tends to drop too much. please do post such videos which are very imformative
Great professional video. All air gunners should watch this. The trajectory curve shows that you should not be targeting live quarry beyond 35 yes with a 12ft/lb 22 - the drop off and windage are too great to be sure of a clean kill.
I just loved how he shows his misses to, thats real hunting, you fail, you will fail, thats how you learn, and some people skips those parts just to show that they are really skilled, no man, when shooting rifles or snipers, you gotta keep in mind about wind too, it changes every second, so there is a 40% chance of missing the shot, and my missing i don't mean you don't kill him, but maybe you get the target on his shoulder, or on his legs insted of a head shot. But thats how you get better! Practice. And yeah if you shooting a real .50 CAL then nigga we should hangout sometime.
Watching that rabbit reminded me of a hunt I had. It’s like when they “jump the string” when you’re bow hunting. It’s that sound from the weapon when sending a sub-sonic round or arrow. They hear it just before it hits them. I think that’s why it’s important to have a good silencer for your air rifle. I had a rabbit just sit there after I took a head shot on him with my 22 at roughly 100 yrds. He just sat there and gave me a second shot. Second shot went right through the head clean. When I had got to him I had pierced both his ears with the first shot.
@@stan690 You have no idea how tripped out I was. First of all they just freeze like they can retroactively disappear from your view by just turning to stone. All I can think is he really didn’t think I saw him or hit him. But before god, when I picked him up after the second shot he had two perfect holes toward the base of each ear with a light line on the neck. Only explanation I can come up with is the first bullet pierced his ears. When you folded them back it all lined up. Weirdest thing I’ve seen to date hunting.
I cull pigeons at my place of work (we store thousands of tons of animal feed) and they are wise to hunters. They know when you rise your rifle and strategically move around to avoid the shot. I'm sure an older rabbit/hair would react the same.
Hi Please don't take down this very good video that easily explains how to zero in your air rifle for the correct distance/pellet etc. I have watched it several times. Thanks
Mil dots are only consistent on full magnification. If you alter the zoom or magnification up or down the mil dot compensation distance changes. The only way around this is to purchase a more expensive first focal plane scope. The reticle size will then get bigger or smaller as you zoom in and out meaning that the mil dots will always be accurate at all magnification settings.
That rabbit heard it coming his way. His reaction time wasn''t fast enough to duck but the fact it went over his head helped. Just for your knowledge a projectile makes a hissing sound when its headed in your direction. I found out because i was standing outside smoking one day and heard shots from the next block over and a SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS sound just as i heard several plinking sounds as stray bullets hit a light pole above my head that i was leaning on. I have never forgotten that sound.
love my AA410. but I have the new side lever and it is a FAC model. 30+ ftlbs in .22 with 18gr JSBs. really carries the power down range at 50/60/70 yards. even at 100 yards I still can hit clay pigeons using mildots with not much of a problem.
Great video. I've been trying to decide what range to zero my scope. This video has really helped to explain how to make that decision. Thank you very much. I love all your video's. Very helpful.
Can't stop watching this smut. I understand the idea of thinning out a population before it over eats everything and starts to make a mess of things (ex: deer related automobile accidents).
@@TheRoarWithin lol he's hunting food for his pets. Is your dog/cat vegetarian? Also welcome to reality. Why don't you go shame some tribes for killing predatory tigers.
While I am not anti-gun by any means (I have a "rotation" of concealed handguns.) I haven't shot a critter in over 50 years. And in my current situation I don't see the need or the attraction. Your results may vary. However I do have several air guns that I can shoot on my property without breaking any gun laws and I found this video fascinating. Nicely done!
I'm so glad we're not limited to 12ft/lb in the US. My AA S500 FAC shoots POA from 20-40 yards, so I rarely have to use holdover when hunting. Only in Field Target.
I really do not get why some people react with such emotion to videos like this. Mankind is a predator, our forward facing eyes and binocular vision attest to it. Folks get on and complain in the comments, but if you eat meat, if you drive a car, if you use electricity, if you live in a house, if you wear cotton or wool, if you wear jewellery if you do any number of mundane modern activities then you too have contributed to the death or displacement of some critter. The best thing that the animal lovers can do for the wild animals is to commit mass suicide, let the creatures take over. Very few men live in harmony with the environment and those primitive tribes that do are hunters. I challenge any vegan, go live in the bush and try to survive on nuts and grains alone....you will quickly be killing and eating with the best of them.
Killing other living things, especially mammals, gives natural boosts of adrenaline and endorphins and can be very therapeutic. That can all be scientifically shown.
@@BRM101, While I agree it's not "normalized" for civilization, you obviously haven't been in nature too much, ALL sorts of creatures kill for the hell of it, and MOST predators eat their "victims" alive.
its always difficult to know if a hunting video is a good video or not because people dislike it just because of its people hunting makes its hard to know if I should spend the time watching it or not
excellent video great shooting and the zeroing is all well done,, the one thing i would say is that in every shooting scenario i have been involved in or taught is that you never shoot without a solid background, over a ridge or roof line,, a silhouette is a wonderful clear target but if you miss the pellet is going to land somewhere you didn't anticipate, the crow you clipped is a case in point,, i'm sure you were in the perfect location but other people who follow your example may not be,, really good video
Zero a .177 @40yds with a Hawke airmax 3-9x50 ao w bell focus and the aim points will be at 5 yd increments. Also get a range finder both are the key to absolute success both will help beginners and even pros would like its simplicity and adapt really quickly . Im soon getting a BSA r10th in .177 and using the mentioned scope plus the air rifle is regulated with a shrouded barrel and a supressor it is mouse fart quiet and a handy adjustable cheek piece. The huge buddy bottle on it is such a dream. So i will be getting a divers tank or two no way am i using a pump for that lol. Nice Harris bipod to finish it off. I like ferreting but dont enjoy breaking scared rabbits necks shooting them seems more humane to me lol the last thing they remember is eating grass before they go where the grass is greener. Well plenty of meat on the table. God bless.
It just annoys me when the attitude is ... the air rifle is a beginners gun before you go on to a proper bang... I shoot 12g rifles and air guns, and to be honest the modern airgun especially PCP rifles have a valid claim to be a hunters first choice for shooting on farmland. They are quiet, accurate, and so well built now.
For those of you in the UK this is an understandable statement. Those of us in the U.S. are not hampered by restrictive gun laws and I can assure you that air rifles are not go to guns for most open area varmint hunting. Very effective in skilled hands though.
Yeah, but they're still not good enough for serious pest control. A hushpower .410 is better than an air rifle and has pretty much the same range, i like air rifles sure but unless i'm shooting rats in the yard i'd pickup a shotgun every time, i can shoot doves to foxes all carrying the same gun which is something you can't do with an air rifle plus if it is serious pest control you can easily get 100 pigeons in the space of a few hours without a shotgun, you just can't compete with anything else
Here in the UK, you need an airgun - available from gunshops - and permission to shoot. You may find and airgun club near you who can help. Ask at your local gunshop. Hope this helps. / Charlie
Some annoying wood pigeons have been crapping all over my car/porch lately and I want to deal with them, but I can't use my shotgun outside of a firing range due to local laws and I find poisoning them to be cruel + might endanger my cats if I am not mistaken. So I was wondering if my air rifle that shoots 4,5mm 8g Predator Polymag pellets at roughly 199 MPS (656 FPS) would guarantee a clean kill for a reasonably well (general chest area) aimed shot. I wouldn't want them to get wounded and die slowly in pain. Help would be greatly appreciated Kind Regards Homer
on a sub 12 ft,lbs rifle is it ethical to try to take game at 50 + yards with the drop in velocity you are running very low on a already low energy. the only reason i ask is that i do not really know the ballistics of the 177-.22 cal sub 12 ft,lbs. At 50 + yards is it enough? Having the advantage here of having a much larger "power" curve with what I would hope close to if not the same accuracy. BTW. 20 yards for a crow? You cant get 50 yards to a crow on the west cost of Oregon with blow gun let alone a air rifle
Maybe I am blind but I cannot find info about the gear you use in this video. Maybe it is answered in coment number one, but to find out I would have to sit here all day.... TY from Norway.
Awesome. I watched the video and it was really interesting. I would love to do this. But i have a question. Where to get the mount for the camera.@fieldsportschannel
why not record the marks (1, 2, 3) on the scope and then change the scope settings on each distance so you get a center shot each time? I mean isnt that why there is knobs to turn on the scopes to do this? I've seen stickers to make it easier. range find, turn knob to proper setting distance, shoot, range find, change if needed, so on.
Could you tell me if Roy was shooting a sub-12 ft/lb .22 and .177 please? It looks as though both these rifles were UK-legal power. It appears that .177 zeroed at 40 yards and .22 zeroed at 30 yards makes for a useful base to build accurate hunting-range air rifle shooting on. Well done indeed. A very enjoyable and useful film.
Sure can tell the City folks from the Country Folks .... Any of you city dwellers ever seen what a troop of Rabbits can do to a Garden , New Trees , or Roses ?
Mate which one would you recommend Diana RWS 65TH .177cal or 22cal I need it for hunting up to 60 meters . Birds,small fox, rabbits ... which cal. is more precise and accurate in real hunt. I have experience with .177 but zero with 22. Many Thanks!

However, through experience, I've personally found this not always to be the case.
I've personally found pigeon up in trees at forty yards, zeroed at forty yards, doesn't require holdover.
It really is a learning curve, with experience required. The good side is, if you use too much holdover, you'll miss your intended altogether. So that means no wounding, which is a win-win for me.
Thankyou to you all.

@@BRM101, While I agree it's not "normalized" for civilization, you obviously haven't been in nature too much, ALL sorts of creatures kill for the hell of it, and MOST predators eat their "victims" alive.
mayalman thank you you said that very well brother.
I'm a vegetarian, I can watch this without any qualms.
I understand the necessity for culling in some cases, especially with feral birds.
Finally, someone with a fucking brain.

i love the narrator`s use of the term ( proper rifle ) , good sighting /shooting exercise
Thank’s learned a lot about pellet drop.i had difficulty shoting on a longer range beacuse of it.
Someone call Morpheus, we've found Neo the rabbit at 13:25 ... he is The One.
+Que Willbewillbe the only performance in this video...
Lmao dude gold
I'm not saying you will be able to dodge pellets. I'm saying that when you're ready, you won't need to
Awesome video in my opinion, I love hunting and pellets weapons
its always difficult to know if a hunting video is a good video or not because people dislike it just because of its people hunting makes its hard to know if I should spend the time watching it or not
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
Reckon it heard the shot. They have much better hearing than sight
This is kind of awesome
Always has been
Indeed
GREAT VIDEO
the best airgun channel.. thanks. from Argentina!
lol
What about Ted's holdover?
Great shooting. I'm from Oklahoma and grew up hunting and you taught me a thing or two..... Cheers .
Nice shooting and good explanation of sighting in your targets.
Thank you for helping me choose how to zero my air gun out! This video was very fun to watch!
excellent video great shooting and the zeroing is all well done,, the one thing i would say is that in every shooting scenario i have been involved in or taught is that you never shoot without a solid background, over a ridge or roof line,, a silhouette is a wonderful clear target but if you miss the pellet is going to land somewhere you didn't anticipate, the crow you clipped is a case in point,, i'm sure you were in the perfect location but other people who follow your example may not be,, really good video
I find this video very interesting and entertaining! Its is the best video in UA-cam where its explained the distance from air rifles. Thank you
That last rabbit was any old rabbit. It was THE rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and he heard it coming. You should be glad he didn't come after you.
Zero a .177 @40yds with a Hawke airmax 3-9x50 ao w bell focus and the aim points will be at 5 yd increments. Also get a range finder both are the key to absolute success both will help beginners and even pros would like its simplicity and adapt really quickly . Im soon getting a BSA r10th in .177 and using the mentioned scope plus the air rifle is regulated with a shrouded barrel and a supressor it is mouse fart quiet and a handy adjustable cheek piece. The huge buddy bottle on it is such a dream. So i will be getting a divers tank or two no way am i using a pump for that lol. Nice Harris bipod to finish it off. I like ferreting but dont enjoy breaking scared rabbits necks shooting them seems more humane to me lol the last thing they remember is eating grass before they go where the grass is greener. Well plenty of meat on the table. God bless.
Thanks
@@fieldsportstv 😉
How many joules of power does your air rifle have? I wonder because the shot drops that much after 50yd.
Looks like bird got a haircut 6:05
Lol gave that first crow a haircut hehehe
Quandary121 ha ha ha.
😅
Quandary121 he got a temp fade
Great video mate
Thank u best video yet for zero a scope
Try an FAC rifle? 12 lb rifles are ridiculous !
I prefer my .17 HMR!
Utterly efficient so is a silenced .22 LR
I use RWS sub sonic and it works!
It just annoys me when the attitude is ... the air rifle is a beginners gun before you go on to a proper bang... I shoot 12g rifles and air guns, and to be honest the modern airgun especially PCP rifles have a valid claim to be a hunters first choice for shooting on farmland. They are quiet, accurate, and so well built now.
that's my choice! cheaper (sometimes) plus gun laws in the UK?
For those of you in the UK this is an understandable statement. Those of us in the U.S. are not hampered by restrictive gun laws and I can assure you that air rifles are not go to guns for most open area varmint hunting. Very effective in skilled hands though.
+kat834 Well said mate, the farms I shoot on, two of them have gone out and bought air rifles, I just hope its not the death knell for me :)
Yeah, but they're still not good enough for serious pest control. A hushpower .410 is better than an air rifle and has pretty much the same range, i like air rifles sure but unless i'm shooting rats in the yard i'd pickup a shotgun every time, i can shoot doves to foxes all carrying the same gun which is something you can't do with an air rifle plus if it is serious pest control you can easily get 100 pigeons in the space of a few hours without a shotgun, you just can't compete with anything else
I live in the city limits so I can not shoot a firearm but I can shoot my air gun in the backyard targets and varmints ...
I love how im just sitting here watching videos of shit getting merked.
Legend has it the crow is still bald plated to this day and all the rest crows call him monk....🤣😂
Iv just got into shooting and just found your channel cracking video mate got a new sub atb jimmy 😎😎
Cheers Jimmy
Even though I never used a pellet gun to hunt rabbits, I still think a .22 is the best for rabbits
So you havent tried .20 in a Rapid
excellent. i learned a lot. much appreciated
great video
What do you need to get into air rifle hunting?
Here in the UK, you need an airgun - available from gunshops - and permission to shoot. You may find and airgun club near you who can help. Ask at your local gunshop. Hope this helps. / Charlie
@@fieldsportstv thank you
Very nice video i learn a lot can you tell me how many joule your air rifle have or fps thanks.
Some annoying wood pigeons have been crapping all over my car/porch lately and I want to deal with them, but I can't use my shotgun outside of a firing range due to local laws and I find poisoning them to be cruel + might endanger my cats if I am not mistaken. So I was wondering if my air rifle that shoots 4,5mm 8g Predator Polymag pellets at roughly 199 MPS (656 FPS) would guarantee a clean kill for a reasonably well (general chest area) aimed shot. I wouldn't want them to get wounded and die slowly in pain. Help would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards Homer
yep. and they taste good.
Turkey trail honey bee farm Georgia So it will be a clean kill?
+homerun443 as clean as killing can be.
Turkey trail honey bee farm Georgia Thank you, sir.
I second that. It is more than capable of passing clean through a pigeon.
Your rabbit your gun and you can do anything
I love the haircut you gave that crow, American Bald Crow.
The bunny heard the shot but the round isn't traveling fast enough. Most 4 legged animals do it
Very helpful. Would not have thought about the zoom on the scope effecting the distance of the mil dots on the scope reticle.
I never knew pellet guns where that strong
These are not strong pellet rifles. They are very accurate. England limits to 12 fpe, typical USA is 15 fpe and magnums are over 20fpe.
on a sub 12 ft,lbs rifle is it ethical to try to take game at 50 + yards
with the drop in velocity you are running very low on a already low energy.
the only reason i ask is that i do not really know the ballistics of the 177-.22 cal sub 12 ft,lbs. At 50 + yards is it enough?
Having the advantage here of having a much larger "power" curve with what I would hope close to if not the same accuracy.
BTW. 20 yards for a crow?
You cant get 50 yards to a crow on the west cost of Oregon with blow gun let alone a air rifle
if you don't like it don't click on it
please show how you attach the digital to your rifle. liking it very much.
Maybe I am blind but I cannot find info about the gear you use in this video. Maybe it is answered in coment number one, but to find out I would have to sit here all day.... TY from Norway.
What rifle is really the question.
It's an Airarms S410F - see about 11 seconds in.
8:22 ...Mr Anderson!... it's Neo!
Awesome. I watched the video and it was really interesting. I would love to do this. But i have a question. Where to get the mount for the camera.@fieldsportschannel
Hi - specialist telescope shops/sites have adaptor mounts for cameras. / Charlie
thanks!!!!
The rabbit at the end is from 'The Matrix'.
Lorne M , that's the sixth sense... I think so !
Should I use bbs or pellets? If im just target shooting. and small pests like pigeons, squirells, birds.
Scope and camera. Does that work?
my boys love this stuff, I just love rabbits, they are so delicious
princeRamelGMier
I was raised on Rabbit. It's very tasty in a Ragu sauce with pasta :D
Loved the bionic bunny that heard and saw the shot. Then again maybe bugs caught a whiff of hai karate... Roy?
I love how that bird just casually walks by and he doesn’t even care
why not record the marks (1, 2, 3) on the scope and then change the scope settings on each distance so you get a center shot each time? I mean isnt that why there is knobs to turn on the scopes to do this? I've seen stickers to make it easier. range find, turn knob to proper setting distance, shoot, range find, change if needed, so on.
Could you tell me if Roy was shooting a sub-12 ft/lb .22 and .177 please? It looks as though both these rifles were UK-legal power. It appears that .177 zeroed at 40 yards and .22 zeroed at 30 yards makes for a useful base to build accurate hunting-range air rifle shooting on. Well done indeed. A very enjoyable and useful film.
The sound travels faster than the air rifle 900fps. So it's obvious the rabbit ducks in response to the sound
No a quality air rifle is over 1000fps
@@thehermit2923 Not with the uk legal limit it isn't.
Sure can tell the City folks from the Country Folks ....
Any of you city dwellers ever seen what a troop of Rabbits can do to a Garden , New Trees , or Roses ?
I believe that final rabbit heard the shot and pellet, you notice it's ear turning towards the camera just before contact.
The rabbit moves its ears all the time.
+McAkkeezz True, but the ears turn towards the sound right after the shot.
we were alway taught to double shoot on a rabbit by having another person fire at the rabbit at the same time so asto increase the chances of a hit
How high is bullet velocity of your rifle? Below 500feet/sec?
Just wondering if it is hard to get used to sighting thru a camera instead of cheek welding while looking thru a scope?
I use a app in my iphone, that helps me alot!! "chairGun"
yeah it's a great app by Hawke' have you looked deeper in the app' the mathematical equations or interesting if your a serious shooter
Now limited to Android 8 or older in case anyone has too new of a phone.
you have to be wery wery quiet, I'm hunting wabbits 😁

@@haroldinho9930 its fun
3:38 living on the edge:)
excellent educational video about distance and drop off
Mate which one would you recommend Diana RWS 65TH .177cal or 22cal I need it for hunting up to 60 meters . Birds,small fox, rabbits ... which cal. is more precise and accurate in real hunt. I have experience with .177 but zero with 22. Many Thanks!
...or .20? It's tough. It comes down to which one you like. / Charlie
Fieldsports Channel Might I ask what is the brand and model o that rifle you used for this video?
I could give a shit about real guns air guns are much better no background checks no waiting period and ammo is cheapl
