    Best saying ever." Keep your friend close and your ammo closer." Never heard it, but I like it.

    • @hjusn

      It is a rephrasing of the old Machiavelli saying “keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”

    Bud I left SA back in 89 and watching these diaries makes me seriously home sick. I’ve hunted dassie and the grey menace from horseback on the farm with a .22, slept under the stars and enjoyed watching the fireflies.
    It’s great to watch and hear the accent.
    Cheers Boetie.

    Once again, a great video. I love the hunting aspects but have to say that for me, the education on the capabilities of modern air rifles has been the real gem. I had no idea how far the techonolgy has come. Keep up the great work!

    So I just started watching you maybe 16-18 months ago. And it was a huge transformation to me because I watched maybe 15-20 episodes from 7-3 years of time and you have always been an incredible marksman and you only gotten better and smarter love learning from you keep making quality content man

    Great video Matt. I always enjoy watching the Oxwagon series, it is a beautiful place and a quaint setting for the chillaxing part of the experience. So happy that you and Nicole have that time together. Hopefully she will shoot someday. Thanks for your efforts and hospitality. Be blessed with all that you need.

    I've been watching and enjoying the Oxwagon Diaries videos since the very first one.
    I think I can sum up the appeal of this series in a single sentence. It's always so much more than just the hunting.
    I can't think of any other series of videos that I can watch and almost feel like I'm there. It's so relaxing. I would love to go there one day.

      Is the huban air rifle the only gun that can shoot copper plated slugs?
      I am getting an aea challenger .357 but I need to know if I can shoot cover plated slugs. I don’t mind if it causes any extra barrel erosion as long as it shoots.

    Matt, I’ve watched all your videos several times. You have influenced my first air gun purchase a Forest Green FX Crown .22 back in September 2017. I met you at the 2017 EBR here in Phoenix. I am seriously considering buying an Impact M3 in .35 from Utah Airguns, again because of the knowledge and understanding of airgun ballistics that you have shared. I have enjoyed watching you grow up, you are a good man Matt and I am grateful for all I have learned from you. Hopefully I will see you at EBR although I am full aware that Arizona no longer seems to be an FX friendly community. Maybe I will need to travel to Utah to see you. Oh congratulations on your marriage to Nicole. Would love to see you in more videos if you are up for it Nicole. Matt Oxwagon Diaries is the best hunting series on the internet.

    I’m saving up for the Matt’s version of the FX impact 70ft/lbs in .22 with a 700mm barrel slug liner.!
    I hope Im lucky enough to get one
    Love from the UK
