We’re dealing with garden pests; using the Air Arms Ultimate Sporter to tackle some destructive grey squirrels. Safety is paramount when it comes to garden pest control, and Mat Manning shows how to set up a peanut feeder against a solid backstop - and even manages to bag a few greys for the camera.
This week we’re also showing you how to properly attach a scope to your air rifle. No matter how good your airgun and scope are, you’ll never achieve optimum accuracy unless your optics are correctly mounted, so here’s how to get it right.

I know this video is 4 years old but the tutorial on scope setup was straightforward and easy to understand for a beginner pcp owner. Enjoying the show a lot.

Hello from the States, Matt. I do so look forward to each session of The Airgun Show!

Great intro music, great video, great airgunhunter Mat.

@theg-man7868 8 лет назад

Nice Matt. I have noticed how much the wild birds greatly benefit from my own squirrel hoppers out in the woods.

@theshootingshow 8 лет назад

+Gareth Jones Yes, they certainly appreciate the easy food source during the colder months - then they have the advantage of there being less squirrels around when they're nesting. The result should be very beneficial. All the best, Mat.

Hi Mat, I really enjoyed this episode and its nice to see someone addressing pests in the garden, I keep the a small roost of chickens and the odd gleanie and know how rats are attracted like a magnet, I daren't poison them for fear of one dying in the pen and the chickens eating it and the Fenn MK4 seems to have a 'do no harm' policy atm. /simon

@theshootingshow 8 лет назад

+AmigaMan Hi Simon. Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with those rats. We keep hens in our garden, and get one or two each year. I tend to get them in the trap as soon as they turn up, but occasionally sit it out with the air rifle and night vision if one seems to be dodging the Fenn. All the best, Mat.

@kirkjohnson954 4 года назад

Mat, you make posting an honorable & gentlemanly sporting event. Such a great host! I'm shopping for a PCP starter, looking at Hatsan for style, price & accuracy. Any words?

@hunter100t 8 лет назад

Nice shooting as ever Mat, I do the odd garden clearance on occasion and could not agree more on the advise given here, at the forefront of your mind should always be people/property. good upload atb Phil

@theshootingshow 8 лет назад

+hunter100t Hi Phil. Absolutely right. Safe shooting is always top priority but your conduct really is under the microscope during garden jobs. All the best, Mat.

@raymondrodarte1678 8 лет назад

love the show keep up the good work

@theshootingshow 8 лет назад

+Ray Ray Thanks Ray - much appreciated. We'll do our best to keep it coming. Cheers, Mat.

@richardsmith5020 4 года назад

@tiozaonopedal450 5 лет назад

great shots

@tasmedic 8 лет назад

What a magnificent oak tree as a backstop! I wonder how that missed being felled to construct Nelson's fleet! Ah, in the last shot, I see it's a crooked one. Still a lot of very nice short timber there, though!

@theshootingshow 8 лет назад

+tasmedic Really impressive tree. There are quite a few like that in my locality. All the best, Mat.

@grim-upnorth 5 лет назад

@adamlovin7690 8 лет назад

what's a good pellet gun under $450 you have inspired me a lot and keep u the good videos Adam from Tennessee

@theshootingshow 8 лет назад

+Adam Lovin Hi Adam. Not sure how your prices work out across the pond, but I reckon you should be able to get a well priced airgun from Crosman. Hopefully someone closer to you can point you in the right direction. All the best, Mat.

@adamlovin7690 8 лет назад

theshootingshow thanks -Adam

@timward8335 8 лет назад

lovely video again. But there's something wrong with the sound on the voice over bits just thought I'd let you know cheers keep up the good work cheers

@theshootingshow 8 лет назад

+Tim Ward Thanks Tim. We'll try to sort the problem with the sound. Mat

@edmacfarlane9483 8 лет назад

What do people think about co2 rifles, the ones that take 2 x 12g capsules. i cant find hardly any videos on them ?

@ralstonraz 8 лет назад

Nice video. Is the spirit level way to centre the scope better? Also, is there a foolproof way to ensure scope centre?

@theshootingshow 8 лет назад

+ralstonraz The spirit level is better in theory, but you're counting on the scope rail and turret being absolutely level - and I've had a few scopes with turret caps that are slightly off. I've always been satisfied with my results from doing it by eye. The most important thing is to start out with quality kit. All the best, Mat.

@ralstonraz 8 лет назад

+theshootingshow thanks Mat. I do the mounting by the eye too, but someone how i not always 100% convinced with the result. Is there any other foolproof scientific way by which this can be done? Been searching for answers but haven't been convinced with one yet. Currently working on a NV setup and its shaping well. Awaiting the 12v power source and the IR torch. Is there an IR laser too? Haven't found one yet which maybe reasonably priced.

@AnthonyChew 6 лет назад

A squirrel munching his mate??? This is preposterous!!

@bluetubegaming4398 8 лет назад

Could you put on a sunshade to the scope to reduce glare

@theshootingshow 8 лет назад

+Blue Tube Gaming The would be a solution. It wasn't too much of a problem - my biggest concern was that it may have affected the footage from the video camera, but it wasn't too bad. All the best, Mat.

@bluetubegaming4398 8 лет назад

+theshootingshow thanks for the reply! I have ordered a new daystate wolverine type C today! Should be here by Wednesday. Define going to get myself some rabbits with that bad boy

@andreabrown4577 2 года назад

When ever the bird's 🐦 come to eat, those terrible Squirrel's 🐿️, spook them. Those Squirrel's 🐿️, are very bossy & very greedy. They even compete, with the red Squirrel's 🐿️, over food. I'm soo glad, that we don't have Squirrel's 🐿️, in our country. Thank goodness.

@weatherby1982 5 лет назад

i have a one inch....my girlfriend says size doesn't matter.

@lmj2783 8 лет назад

please use yards not meters

@michaelprice6776 5 лет назад

People who kill animals that they don’t eat are one step away from rapists in my opinion, and if you have a goofy smile when your talking about it makes you that much more creepy...

@seanculun6067 3 года назад

again....he hasnt told us which mounts go with which size scopes???? we cant go in and try them....most are bought online so we need to know before we buy

@weatherby1982 5 лет назад

i just brought my first cross bow.....i feel sexy as fuck.
