A well structured explanation. I have a Gamo .22 zeroed at 25 meters and established that I was on target at 6 meters as well. I was happy to see that as a gun enthusiast, you are both responsible and ethical. Regardless of what one is hunting, a clean shot with minimal suffering is clearly the objective. Also keeping in mind where the projectile will end up. Without the information you have so kindly provided, good bullet/pellet placement is not possible. Thanks again for your effort.

how refreshing, a 3:02 video with everything explained perfectly thank you

Bought my first air rifle yesterday so trawled youtube for a few intro videos - this is the most useful! Great balance of effective advice/tips while keeping concise. Cheers!

I like the way you graphed the trajectory... proper job!

Simplest thing, nobody does it. Thank you. Really usable advices here.

i just got this from father in law. i have no idea how airguns work and this video helps out alot.

Very helpful. Thanks! :) I have a Nikko Sterling center point scope on my crosman 1377, zeroed in at 10m and I don't have mildots to help with hold over. By using this method I can guesstimate where I should aim with my reticule. I can hit a 1inch thick stone at 20m with hold over. Also on the range card you can put angle of incline and a diagram of the reticule aim point, so that you will know where it will hit dead on. It's very satisfying judging holdover without mildots.

I have to watch this one a couple more times, as I find that it will stay in whatever memory I have if I do this. Thanks very much, this is a great little shooting air , at least for me it is.

Good info. I don't really shoot guns but shoot with a bow and arrow. The technique of pasting up the sight info on the gun stock is similar to sticking the info on my bow. Thank you.

Very nice and easy to implement. Thank you for making something useful that I don't feel the need to go to remedial maths for.

This is what I was looking for. Because every time I change distance my scope change but now I know how it's work.thanks for all

A other really useful video. Thank you!

Very beneficial demonstration of pellet point of impact different distances. Thanks. I'll do it with my air rifle.

Thanks for the tip.with the tape.

Twenty five yards is actually your *second* zero. I used Hawke X-ACT software, putting in muzzle velocity and ballistic coefficient of my Polymag Predator pellets. I experimented with different zero distances until I settled upon 15 yards, with 35 yards being my second zero. I printed-out the chart and remember my holdover in inches at 5 yards is 1" and at 10 yards is 1/2". Between 15 and 35 yards it only rises to a maximum of 0.4" at 25 yards. Then it just drops like a rock. At 45 yards it drops an inch and at 50 yards, two inches, but that's bigger than my yard.

My understanding is that airguns in England are likely to be less powerful than here in the USA. Am I right to reason that you'd have more drop then with a similar pellet?

Great Idea with the tape, I have to do that with my rifle asap.

Good day sir, watching from Imus City, Philippines. This is really helpful and I really like your videos because they are direct to the point .

THANKS!! REALLY GOOD TIPS!!

That graph was so cool

Thank u so much it's the first time when someone explain the trajectory of the bullet so clear

Maybe you should try chairgun. I use the mobile version for iphone, and just tap my Crosman Premiers and the muzzle velocity, and it tells me how much of a drop there is, how many mils to holdover, and i can even find holdover for windage/elevation

I’ve watched a few of these videos, I’ve never ever seen anybody dither so much when shooting, JUST FIRE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!

I have been racking my brains on why zeroed at 20 my pallets was landing low at 10! And its due to the gap between scope and barrel

Hi im from Indonesia, i love your videos , and now im learning to hunting with airgun , would u suggest me ? What is the best BSA air rifle for beginner ? thx

There expensive but you may want to check out a product called "pellet pen" i just bought one and tried it a few times and it is nice for quicker reloading. Not perfect but it beats doing it by hand. Especially in the cold when you would usually have to take off your glove but not with the pen. Good video by the way

During the off season when squirrel is over and I just want to be in the woods, English Sparrows are unprotected and abundant so I sight it in at 9 yards and aim for the top of the head if closer then that, I never need more than that, H&N Baracuda Hunters 18.21gr work well for me at these closer ranges and are still accurate when I re sight it at 25 yards for squirrel season. I like your trajectory tape on the stock idea.

Hey thanks for the tips it really helped me out with my shooting

Would have been useful to see how those adjustments relate to the reticle markings on your scope.

Very clear and concise. Many thanks.

Absolutely ingenious. Thank You.

wow that's a nice way of graphical analysis

Thanks, easy method without need for trajectory calc.

So I have to aim high at short range is what you're saying?

If your wondering where to shoot when you don’t know how far your shooting just aim center of mass. Pellet guns are intended for small game if you hit it it’s going to die. Unless you barely nick it

i like the tape idea. good for any firearm too

Thank you I like that never thought about that

Hi Sir,,, nice review,,, i set my scope at 38 meters, and i have almost the same POI starting from 20 mtr up to 40 mtr ,,, i use JSB 18.13gr ,,, for my Edgun Matador at velocity 930 FPS ,,, i think the best way for all hunters is to find the best distance & velocity for zeroing the scope for getting the longest flat shooting ... of course we have to consider about the scope height and all other situations ,,,

Thanks for the teaching im gonna get my gun tommorow

Gracias, buenos datos.

Great video tip there sir. Thank you, just wish I could move as fast and shoot as fast as your good self.

que mira me recomiendan para hacer tiros de 60 metros gracias o una mira bien buena

Aim for the white markings at the base of the neck. They won't spasm about like they do with a head shot and it's an instant kill. It's like nature painted a target on them.

Very well explained. But one thing I don't get, the "cheat sheet" at the end- where it shows eg 5 yards is below the 25 yard (set) one, shouldn't you put how many of those horizontal lines (sorry I don't know the name) down from centre that the 5 yards (for example) is hitting at? Otherwise, how do you know how much further down 5 yards is from 10 yards?

Good video. Looks like my 1377 results with 600 fps. I read UK air pistols are set to 500 fps max? Still a punch with 22 cal. The 177 needs more speed to get power. 600 fps is plenty for my pests with 177 pointed.

Would it not be better to put some tape on the Focus ring and just mark of the amount of Holdover or under , but that way you don't have to keep getting out your Rangefinder. Better and Quicker for Hunting

Thanks for good news I learn alot from you

Hawke vantage 2-7 32mm vs Hawke vantage 3-9 40mm for a .22 Weirauch springer around 600fps?

Excellent video. It shows in a clear way the ballistic curve that lead draws, in a normal range for the backyard of any shooter. Cheers!

I dont think your scope is correctly mounted.

Damn man you would make FOREST GUMP proud.

Thank you for that mate.... Very easy to follow. 👍🏼

This air gun name and rate show you please sir

whot is this scope?

What kinda scope is that if you have a link that would be great

Great gun

Holy crap my Benjamin titan np was shooting shit then I did your instructions and I have finally hit targets at 25 yards thank you! Next goal would be to make the groupings sub 2"

learning your gun is the best tip

One thing I’m confused about with my rifle, I’m dialed in at 25 yards, hitting thumb nail size ground with EASE, but the FARTHER away I go, the HIGHER my pellet hits, how does this make sense?

How to buy a lens

How do you shoot video thru the scope when you are shooting?

Amazing video

What type of ride are you using?

Earned a new sub keep it up

Clever diagram!

How much was that scope and whats the power ?

whot is a scope?

This guy is a sick man

Lots of good vibes

Sir..can I buy airgun

I'm good with iron sights

Nice

Hello SIR..Please Tell me what's the name is This gun???and model ???

you don't have to take a headshots on pigeons

Good

but it depend on magnification

I use a 25L plant pot (full of soil) just tip it on its side and shoot into the dirt

Whot is a scope?

useful

Thank you are you aren't the same time for the first half of my friend

how much joule has this air rifle

Just enter the data into chairgun and look at how many mildots to hold

Use a shotgun. And I know if you shoot a pellet and you hunt with a pellet gun then you should know that pellet guns don’t go to far.

Please make a video on how and where to buy guns and scopes?? Please sir

Nice informative video.

"Sitting" there.

What is the name of the air rifle you used in this video?

How much joules is this airgun ?

You can shoot the second pidgeon

Now you understand my pain

I feel sorry for the pigeon
