FalconFN Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 All the gear no idea springs to mind....and an arrogant g** as well. Spot on. How many shots do you need at a sleeping pigeon at 20 meters? Apparently you need 4 or 5 to get your range, a couple to wound and then 1 to finish off. Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Total rubbish. He should learn to use the tools he's got, before making a video of his 'shooting'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 That video is an anti's dream, also he said it was a new residential developement and he is letting fly with pellets that are going over the roof, who knows what damage they caused on the other side.

huffhuff Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Did you see the rest of his videos? He's using an illegal (to use) phone/wifi jammer in one and is mucking around with voice scramblers in another. Plus he has an unhealthy obsession with cats. Is he on here? I'm sure he is. This seems like the place for somebody (not) of his calibre to hang out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I would assume that the lad is unfamiliar with the fact that you need to aim low when shooting uphill, especially with an air rifle that will have a pronounced trajectory to begin with. I have no problem with the pest control aspect, but I do think he should have practised a little more with the rifle before filming it for all the world to see. I also have a little misgiving about shooting over the top of a roof. Not so bad as using a rim-fire, but even so that pellet has to come down somewhere. G.M.

huffhuff Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) These were his comments when comparing accuracy between 2 different types of pellet; but please bear in mind the gun hadnt been zeroed, the barrel hasnt worn in and there was a bit of a cross wind where i was ...and and I broke my arm, the earth was spinning too fast...I was hopping, blindfolded as my cat clawed at my huge testicles.

twitchynik Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Why do people insist on linking to bad/improper/unsafe shooting videos on here? We all know it happens. We don't need to advertise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 He's deleted my comment on there so he's just allowing favourable comments. Clearly trying to mask opinions on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 He deleted my comments with a few choice words. He is a poor shot and as thick as two short planks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hello Gordon. Long time no see. I did read some of his comments and was quite alarmed at how bloody ignorant he was. Don't know about him ever owning a rimfire, as he clearly is a very ignorant lad and one which the shooting fraternity could well do without. G.M.

Dave-G Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Steve-B-wales, this thread has now become completely pointless without the subject matter that was being discussed. Absolutely every poster on this thread expressed disapproval of the prattish shooting that guy was doing - how can that put us in a bad light? IMO the members comments clearly show what responsible shooters we are. I'd agree with your decision if it was a PW member showing us what he does and getting support but I'm sorry to say this seems board moderator censorship gone daft.

Dave-G Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Why do people insist on linking to bad/improper/unsafe shooting videos on here? We all know it happens. We don't need to advertise it. So you don't feel the need to try and undo or offset the harm his sort do to us? Clearly the author of that video felt his shooting was interesting because he shamelessly went to the trouble of uploading it for all to see. I'd point out that a 40 minute video was quite a determined commitment to show his lack of skill or care. This thread, which I told him about, indicates that several other shooters think it was unacceptable. He clearly now knows what some other shooters feel about his skills because he has deleted comments below the video that shame him. In fact ALL the posters on this thread scorned his behavior. My understanding of 'advertising' is pointing out good aspects of an item - not the bad aspects. If it pleases you to ignore it rather than send a disapproving message then so be it.

I'd agree with your decision if it was a PW member showing us what he does and getting support but I'm sorry to say this seems board moderator censorship gone daft. I removed it because whether or not the shooter was a PW member, as this is an open forum, others who could see it would not know if he was or was not a member. In my view, as with most who commented about the video, it shows 'shooters' in a very bad light, and of course, we are all tarred with the same brush. I agree that removing the video link has made your post pointless. I was considering to lock it down. Steve-b-wales, can I edit in the details of the video instead of the link? By all means.
