This week Mat Manning shows the tactics and equipment he uses to get the most from this awesome method, and rounds off with a hunt to demonstrate how it boosts results when culling invasive squirrels.
We’ve got a CO2 rifle on test this week, and it comes with a whole lot of extras. The Umarex Hammerli 850 Air Magnum XT Kit includes a telescopic sight and mounts, sound moderator, bipod, ammo and target cards. Just add an 88g CO2 capsule and it’s ready for the range.

That was probably the best airgun vid I've seen for a long long time .. so full of interesting and informative stuff . Well worth giving up watching coronation Street for ( too be truthful I'd rather eat my own head then watch that crap ) ... Superb stuff Matt ... Keep up the excellent work , it's very much appreciated ... Oh ( can't go without saying ) you were superbly well groomed for the vid ...

Cheers Mat for that very informative video - I have been trying to get squirrels to my Peanut feeder w/o very much success! I have found that in my area, once I shoot one squirrel, all the others seem to stay away...! I'm not giving up though, and with the extra info from your video.....I hope to be much more successful! Cheers, Mark (From the other side of the pond)

@theshootingshow 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Mike. I try to go for places where I have seen squirrels or dreys. Apart from that, places with lots of cover, thick ivy and hollowed-out trees - the sort of places squirrels would live. All the best. Mat

@airgunnersen4115 6 жыл бұрын

Great Video Matt - as ever. Just one question - why with a multi-shot pcp do you load the rifle immediately after taking a shot so that you are sitting with a loaded rifle with only the safety to make the rifle safe. Wouldn’t it be better to ‘lock’ onto the target and then ‘load’ the weapon?

@theshootingshow 5 жыл бұрын

Good question. I never trust the safety catch but ensure that the muzzle is always pointing in a safe direction. I like to shoot at close range, and most of the quarry I shoot wouldn't hang around to wait for me to load up. All the best. Mat

Using the bipod on this gun is a bad idea. The bipod is connected to the front cap and the front cap is connected to the barrel. Any pressure on the bipod, in any direction, ruins your grouping and accuracy. Without the AO, on higher magnification, your shooting is prone to parallax error. All the cumulative inaccuracy may be blamed on the gun. So if you buy it, buy the gun separately, don't use a bipod that puts pressure on the barrel and buy a decent scope with AO. And take at least 30 seconds between each shot. It's a CO2 gun not a PCP.
