Simon I always will remember the days up the valley, good times I say! The work u do benefits all the wiled life we see every day we go out in the countryside, thanks for the work u do.
Another brilliant vid, Simon - what a down-to-earth treasure you are to those of us lucky enough to live in the country and follow your shooting exploits. I'm a good way south and east of you, and there are no hills, rolling or otherwise - just flat land to the horizon and endless East winds. Plenty of magpies and jays this time of year, and although I don't shoot them, I know a few who do with great success.
Ye cheers pal i have spent my life on these hills and when ever i go else where i always notice how flat the ground is and deep down i always think not much of a bullet stop lol.
Flat calm helps but still its hellish impressive. I'm not sure why people bother with the .22LR these days when you can see the versatility of FAC airguns.
Hi Simon, I know your side of the Pennines is wetter than ours, but here, at the East Coast, statistically, I think, the driest part of the country, we've had our share. Nice to see a magpie or two go down. They've already attacked my neighbour's blackbird nest. Anyway, yesterday evening, the pair is now one. Like your first, it flew off about 7 or 8 yds, then dropped. Good vid, thanks. Big Steve.
@@simon6ppc246 Meant to mention, Simon, have you seen RJM Hunting Australia's shot using a SAKO .223 with Hickmicro Balistic Calculator? 477metres with a 97.7cm drop, nearly a meter. Just shows what techknowledgy is capable of.
That was quite a blow you were shooting in on the second site. And the long range shots on the birds, as well as on the cattle dropping were great. Cheers from Texas.
Hi there our simon 👍👌wow wow bro the fx,king just gets better ever time you look at it bro👌if only i could aford it but bro i be lost in a way coures i dont under stand how you work the sight with up and down clicks mazing rifle wow spot👌on with the pest control bro brilliant lvly and clean that was a shocker of a day with weather lol glad you was dry 👍how can you make that shot hit top the dirt pach then top it of you go hit tip of the dirt the size of a finger nail how im lost simon all the yrs and skill that you have👏👌wow give jack big hug stay safe for us all and i see you on the next one bro thank you so much i prishate your time stay safe my friend👍👌and happy pestcontrol 👍😁
Excellent work. I like the technical information about dialling in the scope to compensate for distance and what equipment and slugs you are using. Very professional! Hope for better weather here as well soon.
Thanks for another video Simon that fx King is a superb rifle saw it at the shooting show very impressive bit of kit hitting those crows at that range.
@@simon6ppc246 yeah seen other videos and those crows blow my mind 😵💫 what’s your advice on liners and anything else for that matter hear so much had to take in 🫣 thanks 👍
It's raining again !!! For any one not in the uk, we have had more rain in the past 4 or 5 months to last a life time.friday and saturday we have seen that big bright glow in the sky and it has been like spring lol....super shooting simon ❤
Ye Woolfy this FX King is some tool you know i really believe it could be a 200 yard air rifle but will see in time to come obviously in the right conditions.
Great video Simon and I'd say that you have all of the comfort of home in that spot. Excellent marksmanship on the 2 crows and I'd say that the female was putting on a show for the dead mate she probably thought that he had a headache and wasn't interested. Excellent shooting on the other birds and I'm liking that FX King it carries good power all the way out to 130 yards and that is stellar. Cheers brother give Jack a pat for me and can't wait for the 223 video
Great video as ever mate , glad your King is bag on , my buddies one has been muck about a bit . He has fitted the heavy hammer now and fingers crossed it seems to be working a treat. Let's hope a
Ye mine is a .22 and i just think for slugs they seem to shoot better compared to the bigger cals but i could be wrong is your mates a .25 by any chance
There's worse things chairs to shoot from for sure! Shot in my new .22 lr today and it was a joy. Started noting down the drop etc on different distances to get a decent understanding of adjusting for distance with the new scope. Your channel is a grand resource for learning. Cheers for the video
Another cracking vid like always mate....keep em coming! It was blowing a hooley down here the weekend before last but I decided to brave it and went out with the Ultimate Sporter anyway....despite the wind gusts I got a magpie with a perfect head shot from around 30 to 35 yards and must admit at the time I thought to myself Simon6ppc eat ya heart out lol.....then I watch you shoot tiny nominated lumps of soil from 175 yards = awesome marksmanship! All the best and hope Jack is ok.
Awesome video and absolutely awesome air rifle. The performance of your FX King is incredible. I appreciate the way to help take care of protected species. Well done, sir.
I was only thinking this afternoon, after a fox had taken one of my chickens in daylight, I haven’t seen a new video from you lately and here you are, a great end to the day. Thanks for the entertainment. Excellent as always 👍
That is some unbelievable pellet gun distances!! I thought the 135yrd shot was long, then you go ahead and blast out to 175! that's really crazy! I think I would have fallen asleep in your first hide, nice comfy chair and all covered up! Have a great new week Simon!
Great shooting sir, I dont see how the Wildman slugs could be more accurate than the H&Ns. Wildmans being more pointed can have a tendancy to try tipping over in the mag but looking forward too your testing them soon as it will give me something to watch while it chucks it down with rain.
I dunno how you do it, Simon. I mean 130 yards in those conditions with an airgun & 26 inches of drop? I know you use really first rate equipment and I've always admired your shooting technique . . . but man! That's one heck of a shot. Now I'm really intimidated by you!😊.
Impressive shooting Simon, you have pushed me to try slugs in my Crown watching this video, a kind gentleman from one of the shooting forums sent me various bits to try....
'Ow do petal! Bin binge watching tha videos, eeeee but it's bin wet n cold! Tha needs gloves on elastic thru sleeves like when tha woz a lad!! Trust things are well with you 🥰
@@simon6ppc246 Nay lad, juzz bin in a world of grief. Finally getting my knee replacement in the next few months 😲 34 years since my horse slipped in the road and fell, landing across my left leg which was over a kerb 😱 Been getting worse these past few years and I've been in the list for over 3 years!! Now it's closer to being done I'm having 2nd thoughts! Ha ing had a stroke last January and Mummy dying of a huge brain haemorrhage in December, I'm worried about having one when I'm under anaesthetic 🥺
Hi Simon, another great video of your work. We appreciate your attention to detail and your professionalism. Soon a video in 22LR? What do you think compared to a .22 FAC? Thanks a lot! Sincerely, from France
@@simon6ppc246 It is now I originally got a year ago ish mainly cos I liked the stock and the rifle itself is pretty streamlined and was sub 12 but it’s fac on ticket now
Fair play,absolutely brilliant footage, right up the shooting enthusiasts street.id say your getting fond of that fx king.just out of curiosity, what reg pressure, micro and macro you set at to get those 25g H&N to go that velocity, ive the fx dynamic 600mm .22 on the way so am kind of curious👍🇮🇪
Hehe,look at you,sitting in a lazy chair and all,only thing missing was a brew...life can be good at times huh 👍oh... 12:00 now you're just showing off lol 😁
Howdy Simon! I need to ask a stupid question... I was watching you reload the clip for your rifle and noticed that the slugs had a divot in one end and blunt on the other. Does it make a difference which way you load the clip with the slugs? Since I don't shoot air rifle I don't know. Thanks! Give Jack a pat for me!

Great setup. All you need is a nice rug and Jack at your feet.
Well ye Dennis tell me about it.

Thank you Matt really appreciated.
Love to watch you work Sir! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Bernard.
I’m simply amazed at the fine collection of different types of rifles you have. You make them all look like excellent pieces of equipment
Thank you Bruce much appreciated.
Crikey, that FAC airgun is as accurate as my .222rem @ 175yds. Amazing what they are capable of.
Ye to be fair its blown me away how accurate it is in top conditions mind ya.
Flat calm helps but still its hellish impressive. I'm not sure why people bother with the .22LR these days when you can see the versatility of FAC airguns.
I’ve never had any success with H&N slugs annoyingly. Keep the videos coming.
Ye funny ain't it that King honestly is a tack driver with them.

Impressive as always Simon - keep up the great work!
Thanks Jeff.
Great shooting sir, I dont see how the Wildman slugs could be more accurate than the H&Ns.
Wildmans being more pointed can have a tendancy to try tipping over in the mag but looking forward too your testing them soon as
it will give me something to watch while it chucks it down with rain.
Ye cheers pal looking forward to trying them to be fair.
Thanks Simon.

Great shooting in such terrible weather. Good luck mate
Thank you Robin.
Nice vid mate . We have had a bunch of trouble with my mates King , sorted now thanks to a much heavier hammer . From 11 grams to 26 grams 😃
Ye i see the video Roger strange really as this one has been spot on and still standard as it came to👍👍
