[archie]

I see a certain youtube channel are still promoting long range vermin shots. 75 yards ! Not my idea of selling the sport of airgunning.

You are right Archie, here's some future thinking

Agreed I get some people can shoot that distance but why not stalk in closer and test your skills that’s way too

Go for it mate, we need to show people that we are not all idiots, showing stuff like that does us no favours. Rog

If it’s the YouTube video I just searched, then also shooting over a public footpath.

Yes, shooting near the footpath. I cannot say if he was unsighted to anybody walking, rather difficult to say. Definitely don`t think much to 75 yard shooting, and if you noticed he did not show the shot bird on video as he did the others.

With sub-12 rifles? I don't 'get' that at all, mainly because I've never met anyone who can do it under field conditions to the standard hunting requires.

I'm always up for re-education, mind, so if anyone knows anyone who can do it, please put them in touch and I'll gladly learn and apologise.

"Compatto Target Farm Yard Assult"

There's one there at 69m at 4.55 in.

He does advise checking zero because a 40 minute car journey can make it go off with the road vibration.

[archie]

That`s the one. Good advice about checking zero. I don`t know whether a 40 minute car journey is going to throw the scope out though.

[RichardH]

That just there is why we will all have licences soon.

Because of the BBS ban on pics or links to dead stuff I'd delete the link & just put in the title of the vid as I have done above.

Lets people find it without your breaking the rules

He's obviously a good shot but to me that's an irresponsible vid to post, no place for 50yd+ with sub 12fpe imo.

[ChrisC]

Oh god nooooooo.....it's the VHTV muppets again.

FFS don't they ever learn?

Get some comments on there gents or else all the dim fanboys will think it's acceptable and those clowns will carry on digging our licensing early grave.
