Scully Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 I didn't want to hijack another thread, but one of my favourite things to watch ( all I watch on youtube now i think of it ) on youtube are shooting vid's, and in particular decoying vid's. I find DC a bit hard work to be honest, and most 'game' shooting vid's in general not very watchable, but decoying ones I can watch for hours. Andy Crow is ok when he's shooting rather than talking, but in many of his vid's there's more of the latter than former. GD is worth a watch but it's a while since there's been anything recent, but I find both Geoff Garrett and Tom Sykes are well worth the time. I think a good shot is a good shot no matter what gun they are using, and these two are perfect examples ( and even Crow can do it ) of good shots; and I was very pleased to see one video of Tom Sykes using a Remington 3200! Great stuff. Rat shooting with air rifles is good also. Others worth the time are The Gun Shop. I even sometimes watch a bit of Skeet. Any others I should look out for? I don't mind the odd American one ( have watched most on handguns ) so long as there's none of that unnecessary rock music in the background.

oowee Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Air arms hunting SA is one of my favorites. Not just air guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Robert Griffin has produced some excellent pigeon, crow and goose shooting videos in the last year or so. He shoots well but the banter between father and son is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Look for Gould Brothers trick shooting. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but they’re having a great time and very talented!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Hickock45 is good, OK not many of us get to shoot quality pistols like he does but fun to watch Edited February 5, 2019 by washerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) The South African Air Arms stuff is well done as are some of the New Zealand vids.. I do enjoy the Crow Man and Geoff . I really cannot recommend any, I think you just have to skim through them, it soon becomes obvious if they are going to be good or not. Hickock45 hmmmmmm If you enjoy watching someone waste ammo on milk jugs then I suppose there is some entertaiment there.

Jbob Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) I watch The Gun Shop. I like the style of presentation and they seem to know their trade very well. Also enjoy watching their cheap to charming series as well as any restoration videos they do Edited February 5, 2019 by Jbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy has done his research, must of watched hours of his stuff. Is he english as he doesn't sound american? Also for a skinny guy he took the 4 bore quite well. 53 minutes ago, washerboy said: Hickock45 is good, OK not many of us get to shoot quality pistols like he does but fun to watch Hes better than that pillock on demolition ranch. My only grievance with youtube is, as ive watched a few american vids ( iraqveteran, forgotten weapons) they bombard my home screen with his junk.

Scully Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Thanks all.....will give them a whirl. 👍 srspower used to be on here but he couldn’t handle the criticism, which is something you risk opening yourself up to when posting on a forum which consists of some extremely knowledgeable and experienced people.

figgy Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Scully I watch most of what's been posted along with looking at what YouTube recommendeds when you watch one it'll give you others. Tom Sykes wildfowling and duck calling is good too. I like some American fowling bids, some are too redneck for me though. For long range rifle shooting mark and Sam after-work is good. I watch the shooting show which features Geoff Garrod along with fieldpsports Britain and Irish version with Jason Doyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the enigma Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 9 hours ago, Zapp said: Forgotten Weapons is excellent if you like the weird and wonderful. Yeah, that's a good one. Also, Bloke on the Range is quite good. For long range shooting, Mark and Sam After Work is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I remember being so exited when Jack's Game series came out that I somehow managed to get the interesting ones like Archie Coates decoying taped and still prolly have them somewhere but must admit I just end up fast forwarding through most of the modern stuff, once you've seen one you've kinda seen them all. Same for most game shooting videos as you just don't seem to get great camera work. I just don't have the time to watch average people talk about equipment or describe what they do, much prefer the truly outstanding ones of which there are dozens. Youtube is an eye opener on many subjects outside shooting too, politics for one where you can easily access the other side of an argument.

Penelope Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I enjoy watching some of Cape Buff hunting stuff on youtube, especially when a double rife is involved. There is a Mark Sullivan that is a bit of a giggle, it's either very tongue in cheek or he really thinks he is special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
