srspower Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 For the nay sayers at Sam's last air gunning clay pigeons video. Here he is shooting clays with firebird targets with a .22 air rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 and if he would of missed ??? the pellet would of landed where some people really do stupid things,, I really cannot see any sense in what is happening in this video, it has to go down in history unreal behaviour IMO atb evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) It would of landed on his parents estate. And the sense is a demonstration of skill do you think you could do that? I know I couldn't so I don't get the attitude? Sam won the schools challenge for clay shooting this year and is very talented. He was also featured in field sports Britain.

beesley121 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 There's always one isn't there!!! The video was posted to show this lads immense skill, not so you could slate him. You have no idea of the precautions taken before the lead up to this video so don't assume. Good luck to the lad, shooting clays for only 7 months and being that good, I can see another world champion on the horizon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to the lad, shooting clays for only 7 months and being that good, I can see another world champion on the horizon and isn't it a good job there is always one,,,otherwise the country would be full of idiots firing air rifles into the air,,, its not what HE is doing,,it is WHAT THE IDIOTS COPYING HIM ARE DOING, I did not slate the kid and yes good luck to him,, I merely pointed out this video is nothing short of stupid and who in the right mind would want to shoot clays with an air rifle,,certainly not me that's for sure, one thing is for sure is it will be now copied by fools its only a matter of time when the pellet lands on someone I rest my case Edited May 25, 2014 by evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Would those banger go off if i hit them using a 30.06 and a 200grain nosler Acubond whilst trying to hit clays from a trap??? Now that's an example of unsafe shooting evo. Being hit on the head with an air rifle pellet weighing in at around 18 grains (thats if its a big un) would do as much damage as a hale stone traveling from the moon. What do you thing happens with missed shots whilst out roost shooting with an air rifle, or squirrel shooting Aye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Got to be honest - he picked a nice easy clay to shoot at. Doesn't look much of a feat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belly47 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I think the point Evo is making is that not everyone who views this on you tube will have the knowledge of regular shooters like us lot on pigeon watch with regards to safety. any anti shooting individuals or lobbies could potentially have a field day on videos of this nature. all it needs is 20 seconds of him on camera at the beginning saying how this is safe as he has lots of land etc etc and do not try it unless you have the same and he and the sport are covered from anyone questioning what he is doing. Evo is right to bring this up as it highlights how fragile our sport is and that we need to justify what we do now as society deems that we must however wrong that may be, its just a fact. on a lighter note, I think it looks impressive and bet I would not hit any!!!!

Gordon R Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I agree that Evo had a point - only to be ridiculed by people who should, but don't, know better. Bluebarrels - I see you are a keyboard warrior - sadly, there are a few people like you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesley121 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Come on, have a laugh and do the challange. It's not an easy shot and if you still think it is, your sure to find out it isn't if you have a go. Ps please ensure you do it somewhere very safe and ensure to give a 20 sec introduction saying how safe this challenge was done (the worlds gone mad) Edited May 25, 2014 by beesley121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) I really hope these small minded whingers don't have anything to do with young people. It's attitudes like that, that make me tell such young people to stay away from pigeon watch. Edited May 25, 2014 by srspower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_79 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Now that's impressive ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I wasn't that impressed. It was a very simple clay that I would expect most decent shots to shoot 99 times out of 100. The video could well have been edited. Had the lad hit 5 in a row reloading in between shots I would say well done. I reckon the shot wouldn't be too difficult with a little practise.

Well you know what to do then? Prove it, film yourself shooting such a clay with a springer and iron sights. Bet you can't. And I know for a fact it isn't edited or fake.

srspower Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 He's the only 14 year old who has only been shooting for 7 months that I know that can do it. Come to think of it he is the only person generally I have seen that can do it. Think you can shoot a clay shot out of a electric trap with an airgun Motty? Prove it.
