    One of the realistic things about your channel Ted, is the fact that you are capable of missing your shots and you show the misses. As good a shooter as you are, and with the fantastic accuracy of your FX (as well as other guns available today) you’re not afraid to show that not every shot is perfect. As most of us do, I watch videos of other “household names” in the airgun hobby that we all respect, and look forward to their next videos, but they never show missed shots... just a continuous string of hits from 50 to well over 100 yards+, even in windy conditions! I’ve been shooting for most of my 74 years, and have some of the latest and greatest equipment too, so I really appreciate Ted showing that he’s human and his guns are not powered by the latest NASA technology used to hit asteroids at 8 million miles. It’s refreshing to see someone with Ted’s proven shooting skills not being afraid to show airgun hunting as it really exists. Thanks Ted. And it’s also good to see that you’ve even able to get the white sunglasses back!

      @Bob Lewen, that is a true sportsmen!! Regardless if they are the world's greatest Shooter or Hunter and they have 100's of trophies, they will miss!! Honestly, that's how I learned to make shots that are unbelievable!! And to tell you the truth I was surprised after the shot was made, lol, but I didn't let them know it,😂😂, I walked around like I was Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp!! 😂😂😂

      That will indeed make your butthole tighten up. 30 years ago I shot a transformer on a pole by accident with a 30-30 trying to hit a crow....it looked like the sun in broad daylight my friend. That gun stay locked up for almost 6 months. Just terrifying. Though I was going to jail....for real. I was super scared. Nope...no more of that chit! That can get really expensive really quick I hope you don’t make that mistake twice. They will figure it out eventually if it keeps happening, and that could be bad for our airgun community. We have a bigger responsibility than just our selves...especially with this election. Stay safe, and God bless...we all screw up once in a while...what’s important is that we learn from it my friend. Don’t make the same mistakes 2Xs.😂👍

    When you watch someone on tv/RUclips or listen to them on a radio broadcast for as long as I’ve been checking out Teds videos, you start to regard them as friends although you’ve never met. So as a friend Ted I thank you for your words of wisdom at the end of this video. As a Vet that’s traveled the world in service of this great nation I feel that many of us simply lack the perspective to appreciate how wonderful our country is. It is the people. All of us. Be it in triumph or tragedy, we are blessed to be Americans. Together so much greater than our differences. Thanks again for having the guts to do what you do and say what’s on your mind.
    It’s the starlings!
    Peace to our nation.

      My red dot was lose on my very expensive Buckmark and I was printing 1.5” groups at 15yrds off hand. I thought I had bad ammo but my brother-in-law was telling me to aim low and right shooting Stingers. Stingers always shoot low at 15 yards but are dead nuts on and I was shooting mixed date ammo so obviously it was sights or the gun. Turns out it was a lose rail so I’m happy now, and ready to sight in and fire laser beams again next weekend. (Also the gun is really a cheat code out to 30 or so yards but that’s what happens when you spend ludicrous amounts of money making a gun that’s perfectly fitted to you and uncompromising. (Unfortunately I’m in Canada so we can’t shoot handguns on private land only at licensed ranges ☹️).

    Ted is awesome, I enjoy everything he does. My favorite is when his sister beat him in that target shooting contest. Funny

    Glad to see your channel Is still going strong.
    I was really root'n for ya on the airgunner challenge, and you definitely put up a good fight.
    That Brit Ian Hartford was one tough competitor but you sure gave him a run for his money in the final challenge.
    Everyone competing was real humble and talented and I was honestly root'n for everyone , but I definitely wanted you to win.
