This is a demo of me shooting medium and long range groups and targets with my Sandwell Field Sports stage 2 tuned HW97KT. There is also a added trick shot that you may like. Please enjoy Si.
Thanks Elliott, yes the H & N FTT at 5.53mm work very well in the 97. Ive seen your shooting and your every bit as good as any man. Dont under sell yourself buddy. Si.
What a show Si, you're a credit to the sport and you represent your homeland with distinction. TY ever so much for the video, and again until later, Cheers!
On the pellet on turrets you can clearly see the bubble recoil ! 1. stage it moves forward and 2.stage back to his previous position . Great explanation Si!!
Awesome shooting Si, True marksmanship on show yet again & to the non believers jealousy truly is a bad thing. As shooters this is the standard of shooting the vast majority of us should aspire to. Fantastic stuff
I am sure that is a great rifle but dude you Si are one hell of a marksman and I just wanted to say great gun or not that is some incredible shooting. I have several guns and have always fancied myself a good shot but absolutely pale by comparison. Well Well done.
Was just looking at purchasing one here in the states, and found your video while looking to see what performance they had... you have me sold!!! My diana rws 48 .22 I tuned is around 1 1/2 at 90 yards , great shooting sir !!!
Nice video Si, well impressive review of the tuned 97. would of loved to have seen the guys face who said its not possible to shoot this distance with a spring piston rifle when he watched this video.
Yes the rifle has a lot to do with accuracy and consistency, but the shooter is always the person in control. I currently have an S200 and have just sold my Vmach TX200, either of these rifles would match what you have shown there on a calm day. Now it does help that Weihrauch and Air Arms are some of the most accurate spring piston rifles you can buy, but evidently you are a good shooter and this is what matters most. Good job and nice rifle.
Hello Si. I shut a milk bottle cab(2cm in size ) at 90 meters at my property several times. No video .But my mother in law saw it. Gun was a HW 77k in .177 with JSB Heavy´s 10.34 gr.
good shooting...i love to see this type of stuff with spring air rifles.i don't have a video camera to record my shots,and when ever I tell someone what me and my spring gun can do they never believe me. so I like seeing video like this..soon i will have a camera to record my shot..thanks for the video Si ,keep it up
"oh, thats not bad really " ... ha ha . Awesome shooting , Boss .... Fantastic ! Credit to both you, and the gentleman that tuned it. Thats just brilliant shooting. All the best man, keep them coming :)
Un-Trucking Believable! If I were an Afghani with Taliban leanings and I heard Si Pittaway and his pellet gun were coming to Kandahar for an Xmas holiday, I would run for Pakistan as fast as my little legs could carry me over the mountains. Because sure as sh1rt, I would have lead-poisoning come new year. Stunning shooting.
Hi Si,hope your well,missing your vids !.Just to let you know went to SFS a couple of weeks ago met Tony(great guy)and ordered my 97k.177,he's going to do his magic and hope to pick it up in the next week or so and I have just managed to get a s/hand Panorama AO4-12*50 off the bay for 80.Giving me a bench mark to shoot to your level, I like a challenge !!.Have a couple springer's which your vids have encouraged me to use again after many years of PCP's.Thanks for the enjoyment you giving me.Jez
Hi Si Sir your excellent , you have the correct brand company Quality and of course your skill level go hand in hand ! This is how one could shoot so great people watch Si's videos they are great !!! Peace . Weihrauch 97K I own is quality !!!
Si..I just ordered the . 20 cal. 97K. your results are outstanding with the. 22 and now im having my doubts. I know there aren't many pellet choices with the. 20 but I want the best of both worlds. .(nice trajectory and a bigger punch than the. 177) I already have a tx200 in. 177.. . great video.best .regards from Florida!
I can only aspire to be half this good Si! I hunt loads but wouldn't attempt stuff at the ranges you consistently master. Very cool shooting mate, and less than half of that is rifle accredited! great vid again. Duncan
hi si, great shooting, like the new intro to the channel, tony did a stage one tune on my .177 hw97kt, great work, bought a hw95 in 22 last week and that will be geting te same treatment !
Cracking shooting mate, no more then me along with a lot of others have come to expect from "THE MASTER". You have now managed to cut playing cards and splitting pellets on a knife blade. Whats next? How about having a compotition for subscribers to suggest some trickshot that you can't do, out to a maximum of say 40 yards, You to put up a prize for anybody that can think of a trick that you cant do. Me first me first me first. Shoot through a "polo mint hole" at 25mtrs or slalom? Good Luck
I think Tony Wall fixes something at the back of the rifles action which drops the recoil to a very low state. He also tunes the action and fits his own custom parts and spring. i also think the trigger is tuned too. Im sure there is a lot more involved but I just shoot them mate.
Hi si and congratulations on some more outstanding top notch marksmanship. And to do it like you are using a pcp just says it all really mate well done you. good luck with your next video mate looking forward to some more results that amaze me take care buddy all the best si kind regards sean
Good video, aye the hw97 is a very accurate air rifle but it's so heavy to carry about if out doing vermin control. I part exchanged mine and just bought a Brocock Contour super six after watching a few videos on here yours being one of them and i really like it. I also have a HW80 in .177 and although it is a heavy air rifle as well it will be with me till the end. Keep making the videos as they are some of the best on here. Thanks.
What do you mean mate? Both are very nice rifles. The AA I would say is better and much better looking straight out the box. The HW is amazing once tuned. Both are more accurate than the shooter. Si.
Hi there Si, been following your stuff for a long time. Question, on the HW97KT you used, how many lbs. on the trigger pull??? This would be great to know, thx! take care. Incredible shooting my friend!
Just a quick question (I'm sure you have probably answered before). When you do the out door test in the car park, is it not breaking the Public Places and Highways UK law ? I'm not trying to kibosh your shooting or stop you from producing some cracking vids, I just wanted to know the workaround if there is one.
Si awesome shooting I own a hw97kt and a hw98 the accuracy you are getting out to 55 yards the guns have to be tuned or can you get this accuracy once broken in rite out the box because the hw98 is stated to have almost no recoil but my hw97kt has that twang because it is not broken in and its a synthetic stock.. I am hoping once broken in it goes away you vermin guys are a awesome force to be reckoned with who ever doubted you is crazy and I think it is cool you had the balls or bolacks as you guys say in england pardon the spelling to prove it keep up the good work you guys are a inspiration.
Fantastic shooting Si!! Would you be kind enough to give a brief run down of what is involed in the tuning of a springer such as yours, I'd really like to know what makes them so accurate. Thanks and cheers from the States.
Great shooting mate. I've just ordered aHW97KT I reckon she probably go 15-16 FTE straight out the box, in Oz they are all FAC rated. Love to get it tuned though.
Amazing shooting si have decided my old 77 is going for a stage 2 tune at sfs now is one of the original venom tuned ones but was done long ago look forward to seeing what it's capable of once given a decent tune again currently running about half inch groups at 25 meters with Powa pellets will get a sample pack of many different pellets when it's back find out the very best one for it :) thanks for the great vids and Again that's some impressive shooting. What rangefinder do you use?
Amazing shooting Si, the recoil looks identical to my Dave Hall HW77K which just goes to show how good these two tuners really are. Will have to try the H&N pellets, I've got a tin knocking about. Still haven't found the best ones for ny barrel yet but not quite sure my marksman skill are at the same standard as yours. Top shooting pal!
Nice video. I want to ask a few questions. When shooting at 50 meters what position did you use? On a bag in a sitting position as at 25 meters? What distance is zeroing (25, or 30 meters)? How many centimeters in a decrease interference from zero? What is the muzzle velocity in this caliber? Thank you for this video. Best regards from Slovakia.
Hi Si, great shooting as always bud. just 1 question mate. what's the difference in a stage 1 and 2 tune? i've recently bought an HW97kt from SFS. Spoke to Tony who talked me through the tuning process. I decided on a stage 1 tune. Absolutely awesome, i would think a stage 1 is good enough for the average shooter/ hunter, would you agree?.
Am old school springer fan. Dont understand why PCPers cry bout recoil effect. Sure those Señoritas PCPs dont kick but in the end real arms (fire arms) do kick. Love springers and the challenge they represent
excellent shooting si. i have been looking for a spring piston rifle and am undecided between the hw97 and the tx200 as both seem to be excellent rifles and both in roughly the same price range. which one do you recommend? cheers.
thats some great shooting si, i dont need convincing in weihrauchs rifles, i know how well they preform at 60+ yards i have hit the bottom of a coke can at 112 yards with a hw95k using a jsb predator sighted in for 45 yards with hold over of 6 inches thwaaack over he went, who needs pcp's when theres..... Weihrauchs great video mate nice rifle too, i own the laminated version in blue lovely bit of kit
Si/Davy I'm buying a 97kt which I plan to have stage2 tuned by SFS I know you both have the rifle in. 22 but I'm just wondering what you would recommend for a beginner, should I get the rifle in .177 or .22 for longer range quarry? Would the .177 be effective at ranges of 40-50yards? I will be doing plenty of target practice before moving on to live quarry Thanks in advance
hi Kris Rose I know im not si or davy lol but I just thought that I should tell you what I think what cal you should use for hunting. I personally would use the .22 cal version just because it has more knockdown power and the wind can effect the pellet less than the .177 but don't be put of from the .22 at further ranges just spend time with it and you will be fine.
nice video liked the trick with the knife edge and group size comparisons thats an indoor setting id imagine it may not be so tight out of doors! on a breezier day?
Normally I'd say don't shoot at a target near aerial cables (mounted on the wall) but with that sort of accuracy and with your skill, it's really not a problem! I was only thinking about buying a HW97k before, now I'm positive. Can I ask what scope you're using here?
great shooting, can you show the groups in millimeters, I record all my groups in millimeters. great shooting keep the vids coming and cheers from canada
sorry to bother si just a wee queery bout the pano 4x12 50 ao!! do you notice a blur on the edges of the image when locked on cheek stock sweet spot looking through wise?? cheers j
Stage 1 is around £70 and a stage 2 is around £130 i think. I got mine for free as Tony is a good friend of mine, but its better if you phone up Tony Wall at Sandwell Field Sports to get a defo answer mate. Si.
Love it when people trash talk and you prove them wrong every time just so funny. Have you seen chair gun on iPhone and android very useful in the field and if your running an MTC scope try istrelok just as good would make a good vid for us techno shooters
Hi Dave buddy, that brilliant shooting om your mates behalf. Why don't you get him to do a video of him shooting these tiny clover leaf groups at 55 yards with his HW97. I'm sure many of the other subscribers would be interested to mate. Si.
