@zamisli123 The head, neck or heart are the only kill zones, hit anywhere else and you have wonded it. Depending on where else you hit it it may bleed out and die after a few minutes.
I'm not sure what heaven looks like but I'm hoping for something similar to this video. And that's coming from someone that goes foxing with a .223 and a .220 swift. :0.
@paddysniper82 Most air rifles in the UK have about 12ft/lb of power good for about 35-40 yards but most manufactures make a high powered model mostly pcp powered which can be anything from 30 to almost 100 ft/lb which is getting on to .22lr power and ranges, the only thing is they cost a lot more than a good .22lr.
@paddysniper82 Yes an air rifle would be safer for tree top work but i wouldn't go much above 30ft/lb otherwise you will have the same problem as using a .22lr too much over travel. There are high powered pcp rifles from the likes of Theoben, Daystate, Airarms, FX etc.
@paddysniper82 Have a look on the Hawke sport optics site as they have a free ballistics software that you can try different cal, pellets and power to give you your trajectory's.
@MultiCharlie1950 They will both do the job, the .22 has more knock down power so better for heart shots while the .177 even with heavier pellets shoots flater and best for head shots.
what do you think of the benjamin marauder in .22? was thinking of saving up for it as a pest rifle. I already have a .177 springer (the crosman phantom) but I wanted a quieter rifle. thanks
@godwarmw2 NO as i take head shots mostly and if the pellet hits bone at all it gets badly damaged, plus most of the shots go straight through the rabbits so finding the pellet is impossible.
@TheTimsislands I looked through the airgun magazines and on the wed to see what sort of air gun i liked the look of that would do my job and then since i live in Northern Ireland i had to order it through a Fire Arms Dealer.
Very nice video,well done! Any tips on stalking rabbits? I'm covering ground at about the same pace as you but only using .22 air arms s510 and I'm spooking them.am I trying to get too close or do I need to get lower so my profile doesn't stand out so much?any advice greatly received!
@johnbow100 Yes you may have to get lower to the ground even on your belly and take even more time to get closer. The ground i shoot over has cattle on it so the rabbits are used to seeing large animals about. Another way might be to sit near their borrow and wait till they come out to feed near dark for a shot.
@tehFoXz Something like a Weihrauch HW95 or Webley Stringray will be powerfull enough for hunting and last you a life time if you look after it for about £250.
Thank you and another thing, when I shoot targets at about 20yrds the pellet hits a different place most of the time. Any advice on a good hunting gun for bunnys but good price. Thanks
@tazman01020304 Well any gun when zeroed at one range will hit higher or lower at different ranges. Have a look at the Weihrauch HW95k or the likes of the Webley Stingray or Black Hawk. They have the power you need for hunting without going mad on the price.
@tazman01020304 I am not sure how powerful the g80 is as i think it is an old model, you could try and get it serviced with a new spring and seals to see if that brings it up to around the 12ft/lb of energy for hunting. But practicing as much as you can is the best way to stop missing.
@mengels Yeah you could say its a fertilizer as slurry is watered down cow dung that is sprayed onto the fields to make the grass grow, which isn't nice stuff to crawl in.
Have you ever had a problem where you've shot a bird through the eyes on accident and it didn't die? This happened to me, I was aiming just under the eye and it hit the eye and came out the other end and the pigeon just didn't want to die. I watched it for about 20 seconds and decided to put a pellet in its head from about 1 foot away. To my dismay, its whole head blasted off!
@lambchops1493 I have some times seen that when shooting a rabbit through the eye but not a pigeon, its always best to go for the brain just behind the eye, but you done right using a second shot to finish it quickly.
@0808SCOOTER Thank you very much. The theoben i use here is an FAC but the BSA super 10 i use around farmyards is only 14ft/lb, still an FAC in England but not that much different from a 12ft/lb model.
@HuntersVermin Do you need a firearms license for that in NI? Over here in England I think the limit for a .22 air rifle is 12ft/lbs, with a pistol at half that.
@xxQuiikScopzz Because i have been asked by farmers to control their numbers, as they dig holes in the paster land which cattle and horses can break their legs in , under mine the hedges that help keep the livestock in the fields and can eat the grass lower to the ground than the sheep or cattle can.
your English right if not this makes no sense but when they come over to Australia why dont they act like this instead it's waaa this waaa that it two hot waaa toughen the fuck up and btw nice video
@wooshma Sounds like you fell in with a bit of a Gurn (someone who can't stop complaining), as we would call them here in Northern Ireland. Glad you enjoyed the vid, but please don't swear in your comments.
@cameron9873 Not sure why people like my videos so much, but don't let that put you off. Get out there and have a go you might be very much surprised at what you can do.
hi mate im only 14 and i have a bsa lightning .22 and im having some trouble in shooting rabbits are there any tips you have for me and also for calling in or decoying some pigeons i shoot on private land so i have plenty of space to decoy if that helps with any ideas any tips or infomation on that would be great thanks cameron9873
@cameron9873 Hi .With rabbits you need to stalk slowly and quietly along the hedge, stopping and looking often for movement. When you spot one get as low as you can and stalk into range quietly no sudden movement, if the rabbit lifts its head stop and wait till it feeds again before moving on. With pigeons build a hide in a stubble field that you know the birds are feeding on, use full bodied decoys placed in a C or V shape facing into the wind, first light works best when the birds are hungry.
Thats nice shooting mate I was out the other night and got one from the car on the way out to the fields I shoot in. Strictly amateur compared to you. What kit you using?
@noah1822 I think that is about 7 to 8ft/lbs energy if its .22cal, which will kill a rabbit with a head shot but you'l have to get that bit closer, say 20 to 25 yards.
@noah1822 check the rws 34, about #30 over your limit but its worth it, will last decades of 800 fps in .22, if not these rifles shoot 800-1000 fps and are under $200, beeman rs2, gamo big cat, or crosman titan nitro piston....i remind you those last three are cheaply made in china while rws is made in germany.
I watched this video and your other ones last week before my trip up to northern ontario...have heard lots of debate over whether the canadian legal limit air rifle is capable of killing a rabbit. I can confirm that it is indeed possible. 15-20 yard shot through the eye with a .22 caliber at 495 fps using pointed pellets nabbed me one...I suppose it must be a perfect headshot, but it is possible.
@dougpoon Good for you, they say it only takes about 3ft/lbs to kill a rabbit cleanly with a well placed shot. Most air rifles in the UK produce about 12ft/lbs(600fps), but at 495fps yours should be producing about 7 to 8 ft/lbs.
@HuntersVermin thanks for that you do come from ireland dont you? by the sound of ur accent lol, what is the limit of the FPP over there or do you have a firearms license?
@cameron9873 No problem, and yes i come from the Northern Ireland. We work more with ft/lbs here, my MFR is about 30ft/lbs or 832fps with a 21gran pellet, which i have a firearms license for. You need a license for any air rifle here but in England you only need a license for any air rifle off 12ft/lbs.
@HuntersVermin oh right thats interesting i never new that you had to have a license even for and air rifle under the legal limit in northern ireland is the law different out of northern ireland or is it he same?
@cameron9873 Well i don't know much about the south of Ireland, just that i don't think my license cover's me to take my guns over the border to the south as its part of the EU. In England, Wales and Scotland you can buy an air rifle under 12ft/lbs over the counter without a license, anything above that you need to get an FAC for. But the powers to be are trying to ban air rifles in Scotland at the minute.
btw I finally was able to get a video up so feel free to check it out on my channel, just as you have an abundance of rabbits we have too many squirrels
great shooting dude i was never a lover of air rifles but looking at the modern ones and the results you are getting im coming around to the idea of getting one what calibre and make is the air gun you are using,Oh yea thanks for the subscription
@yammo12 Thanks, it's always good to hear from other shooters from Ireland. I'm using a .22 theoben MFR, it's very quite and accurate but being a pre-charged air rifle costs a lot more than a .22 rimfire.
That's another great vid HV, I think that you are the epitomy of the modern day hunter with a bit of traditional thinking mixed in. I really enjoy your vid's, in a way they are relaxing but very informative, which I think I've said before,,,,, Thank you. C
@brickyC Oh your not the only one to say it, i'm just so surprised at how well my videos are liked, by so many. Thanks again for another nice comment.
@hunterguy28 Oh thats ok, I think there would be a lot of us in the UK who would be jealous of how many different sorts of game (big and small) you have to hunt in the USA. Plus your gun laws aren't as strict as the UK, but thats just how things are. Glad you liked the videos.

@HuntersVermin
thanks for that info,
i'd imagine an air gun is far safer that a .22 for shooting birds in trees and so on.
what i have in mind is possibly trading my .223 for one so it would be a high powered pcp rifle as you suggest.
i will have to get my research head on i think :)

hey man!,colud u tell me if 495fps colud kill rabbits,because thats the highest one i found for $200
noah1822 1 year ago
@noah1822 I think that is about 7 to 8ft/lbs energy if its .22cal, which will kill a rabbit with a head shot but you'l have to get that bit closer, say 20 to 25 yards.
HuntersVermin 1 year ago
@noah1822 check the rws 34, about #30 over your limit but its worth it, will last decades of 800 fps in .22, if not these rifles shoot 800-1000 fps and are under $200, beeman rs2, gamo big cat, or crosman titan nitro piston....i remind you those last three are cheaply made in china while rws is made in germany.

@HuntersVermin very good vids, i want to hunt like this here in new york but i dont know any armers personally that would let me.

@robinhoodman2 Well all you can do is start to drive around from farm to farm and nicely ask.

my airgun has about 16-18 ft/lbs... so i suppose i can kill birds and rabbits really easy....

@dragonpks That is considered rather high powered in the UK and will most diffidently kill small game cleanly with a well placed shot.

I watched this video and your other ones last week before my trip up to northern ontario...have heard lots of debate over whether the canadian legal limit air rifle is capable of killing a rabbit. I can confirm that it is indeed possible. 15-20 yard shot through the eye with a .22 caliber at 495 fps using pointed pellets nabbed me one...I suppose it must be a perfect headshot, but it is possible.
dougpoon 1 year ago
@dougpoon Good for you, they say it only takes about 3ft/lbs to kill a rabbit cleanly with a well placed shot. Most air rifles in the UK produce about 12ft/lbs(600fps), but at 495fps yours should be producing about 7 to 8 ft/lbs.

cameron9873 1 year ago
@cameron9873 I use a theoben MFR .22 air rifle with about 30ft/lbs of energy.
HuntersVermin 1 year ago
@HuntersVermin thanks for that you do come from ireland dont you? by the sound of ur accent lol, what is the limit of the FPP over there or do you have a firearms license?
cameron9873 1 year ago
@cameron9873 No problem, and yes i come from the Northern Ireland. We work more with ft/lbs here, my MFR is about 30ft/lbs or 832fps with a 21gran pellet, which i have a firearms license for. You need a license for any air rifle here but in England you only need a license for any air rifle off 12ft/lbs.
HuntersVermin 1 year ago
@HuntersVermin oh right thats interesting i never new that you had to have a license even for and air rifle under the legal limit in northern ireland is the law different out of northern ireland or is it he same?
cameron9873 1 year ago
@cameron9873 Well i don't know much about the south of Ireland, just that i don't think my license cover's me to take my guns over the border to the south as its part of the EU. In England, Wales and Scotland you can buy an air rifle under 12ft/lbs over the counter without a license, anything above that you need to get an FAC for. But the powers to be are trying to ban air rifles in Scotland at the minute.

great shooting dude i was never a lover of air rifles but looking at the modern ones and the results you are getting im coming around to the idea of getting one what calibre and make is the air gun you are using,Oh yea thanks for the subscription
yammo12 1 year ago
@yammo12 Thanks, it's always good to hear from other shooters from Ireland. I'm using a .22 theoben MFR, it's very quite and accurate but being a pre-charged air rifle costs a lot more than a .22 rimfire.
HuntersVermin 1 year ago
That's another great vid HV, I think that you are the epitomy of the modern day hunter with a bit of traditional thinking mixed in. I really enjoy your vid's, in a way they are relaxing but very informative, which I think I've said before,,,,, Thank you. C

I'm jealous of you guys in the uk having so many rabbits, Great video!!!
hunterguy28 1 year ago
@hunterguy28 Oh thats ok, I think there would be a lot of us in the UK who would be jealous of how many different sorts of game (big and small) you have to hunt in the USA. Plus your gun laws aren't as strict as the UK, but thats just how things are. Glad you liked the videos.

@HuntersVermin Its just around my area, there are hardly any rabbits.
