Long range 100 yard air rifle field target shooting.. new record set! 

No rush mate, wait for a decent day to get something mental for us to see 😉 Old ambassador Matt doesn't stand a chance😆

I’m with ya, Chilly. My TX is being prepped as I type 😉

Hmm time to dust off the real under leaver I'm just of to get my HW77 out of the cabinet

Can’t wait to see your video 👍

I am looking forward to seeing that Gary…. You know what! I am going for it as well… Snowpeak P35 with H&N Pellets…

It's incredibly testing at the lower power levels, it certainly keeps me on my toes. I saw Lauren parsons (USA)had a great weekend at the ft world champs shooting at sub12. On the international stage it's a common ground nowadays. 😉

Thanks Simon, give it a go.. chilly is going to have a go with the tx ,you should definitely have a go with the 97. I genuinely think I could have done a bit better, it was all an unplanned rush and I completely lost my composure after the first 5 shots,couldn't keep it together 😆

@@tillysgunstocks We all do it to be honest and as you probably know the more shots you fire it usually just gets worse but its all fun at the end of the day.

Where to go next mate? 120?

@@tillysgunstocks definitely 😁

Do it mate. I don't think I could master a springer at that sort of range...

@@tillysgunstocks neither do I 😂

I've got an early unregged ultimate sporter, it's completely stock action wise. Still got the anti tamper on from factory. It's an absolute tack driver. I ought to use it more tbh as its fantastically accurate.maybe I ought to do some videos with it at the longer ranges 🤔

@@tillysgunstocks Hello my friend, Thank you for taking the time to reply. I hope I'm not sounding like a complete numbty, I've never done field target. I don't know what you mean by stock action wise and what anti tamper means or the impact it would have. Thank you, Ian.

@@ianwoods1384 they have custom built wooden and tactical stocks on, but the actual rifle itself is completely untouched and as it left the factory.no tuning ,fettling or anything mechanically different on the rifle itself😉 bar a few cosmetic changes.

@tillysgunstocks Thank you, my friend, I hope I didn't insult your intelligence. Our interests and enthusiasm for our air rifles and journies come in many forms. Even though my father was a shooter, air rifles were forbidden for my brother and I. That's understandable, I suppose. Growing up, I noticed Theoben air rifles if I dared to look in dad's Airgun World while he was at work. Theoben was based in Cambridge and invented gas ram air rifles based on one of the gentleman's Suzuki motorcycle forks. Theoben made a range of gas ram air rifles, and their Theoben Rapid made my knees go weak, the beginning of pcp territory.Their barrel blueing, quality, solid workmanship were just fantastic. Of course, with great regret, Theoben ceased to trade in 2004. One of their models that caught my eye was the Theoben gas ram SLR (self loading rifle) 98 on Utube. I've never seen a stock like it. It's dark and made from Rosewood, absolutely gorgeous. Obviously, all Theoben rifles are second hand now. I don't fancy a second hand one, I'm quite particular. Theoben used to make the gas ram actions for the Weihrauch HW90K before they ceased. I'm going to purchase the Weihrauch HW90K, but look at it as though it was a Theoben SLR98 and attempt to make a thumbhole gunstock much like the beautiful Theoben SLR98. I've made replacement stocks for the nickel action HW97K and HW80K, which I humbly thought were dull, miserable , and lack lustre and not worthy of the actions they carried. That will be this winters project, as I hate winter, the wet and cold, and dark nights. Respect, my friend, and I wish you much more happy shooting!

It usually is mate 😆

I have mate. I can't judge how the lighter pellets will drift at the extended ranges. They get quite wild in the wind past 50yards at typical sub12 speeds. Interestingly they actually show much the same drops at the extended ranges as the heavies. The lighter pellets are shedding their speed fast and i just can't get a grip on them. 😉

@@tillysgunstocks Thank you.

Funny you say that..I've been looking at the f class stuff of late. I've done a fair bit of work with shooters in that sort of discipline and other more obscure stuff. Its something I plan to have a go at, plus I fancy building my own rig up. I'll also be doing some optimization on the xti and that will likely follow the lines of the f class stocks I've limited space right now and the sub12 air is really challenging,but as you can see from the video I like to push my limits 😉

Hi mate,good question.. There's a few reasons actually that I don't use a spirit level on the rifles I've spent near 20 years competing in disciplines that don't allow them, so I've spent a lot of time honing my muscle memory and the setup of the rigs to reduce canting. If I'm shooting paper though,the targets or any cross hairs I've drawn on a board are leveled off, unfortunately you won't see that very easily as the GoPro is usually tucked off to one side to keep it out the firing line. I'm also now almost fully right eye dominant, wether this is a weird thing from making the swap from shooting lefty to right handed or simply the amount of time I spend looking through a scope or just an ageing thing I don't know...? But I can't easily see a level whilst looking through a scope. Even the ones fitted on the arm up front of the air cylinder..just can't see them well enough whilst looking through the scope it distracts me. I don't know if you've seen the second part of the 100yd series but the crowzilla turns out it's not a 45mm it's actually a 35mm 😆 I never actually checked 😂😂 I've got a vid planned for next year where I'll do a demonstration of the effects of cant, should be fun ...

Hi Paul, if you want a dedicated single shot target rifle you might want to consider an hft500, or a used ftp900 or ev2. All of them are capable of this sort of accuracy if we do our bit 😉

S200 for good PCP on a budget, I have one so I'm biased.
