- Some of my favourite tips to improve my shooting in the cold weather
I cover a number of challenges that shooting in the winter involves such as temperature and humidity changes and how to clean air rifles after being out in the worst weather.
i discuss power fluctuation through temperature change and how to adjust our stocks to suit wearing winter clothing.
This tips will be useful for target shooting and pest controllers too.
i discuss poi shift on my Anschutz 9015, Airmaks katran and the air arms xti50
Lots to think about in this video, I only shoot indoors when it’s cold my old body can’t handle being outside in the winter.
Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas and new year, also seasons greetings to all the channel members.🎄🎁🥂
Merry Christmas and thank you for your videos👍
Yep, another great video, thank you.
Cheers mate. I'm desperately waiting for a break in this wind to get some more filmed...
Some great advice, here, Tommy.
Some I already do but some I’ll certainly take advantage of.
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Happy Christmas to you and your family. Take care.
Thanks mate and you and the family 😉
Thanks for an excellent year of videos Tilly and l look forward to what you’ve got planned for 2024. Have a great Christmas, cheers, Woody.
What a brilliant video, superb advice there. Hope you enjoy a well earned break over the festive period and may I say a big thank you for all the excellent videos you’ve given us this year. Happy Christmas and all the best for 2024 😁
Cheers Nick, I'll be working through most of it.. got some really cool stuff to get finalised for next year . Have a great one 😉
Thanks for some useful tips 👍 have a great Christmas and look forward to watching your videos in 2024
Thanks mate, next year is going to be big... 😉
Happy Christmas to you and your family and all the best for the New Year. Thanks for all the videos and knowledge you have shared this year.
It's been great fun mate and there's some really cool stuff happening next year 😉
Have a great one 😀
Great vid, as anyone can become complacent with gun care..
Agreed I also hate shooting in the cold. Doesn't help the fact I lost over 3 cm off 3 fingers on my left hand.
Happy Christmas 🎉 Thanks for all the videos this year (and already looking forward to the new pellet video!)
Lots planned for the new year mate, thanks for being part of the channel 😉
Great information and tips as always. Happy Christmas to you and your family,as well as everyone in airgun community.
Have a great one mate😉
Tilly Nailed it, Shooting on the Range two weeks ago with the XTi -2 Degrees never had so much moisture on the metal parts.
It's incredible how much condensation occurs inside the actions too. Always best avoided through careful handling where possible. Some rifles really struggle in the cold... 😉
Thanks, very informative as always . For when it starts freezing I bought a heated body warmer to keep my back warm. keep it on minimum runs for hours ♨.
I've considered the same,then realised I much prefer avoiding the cold as much as possible 😆
Great video. For your comfort I also recommend buying some radiator reflector (the stuff with 2 aluminium foil sheets and bubble wrap inbetween) take out the insole of your boot and cut the shape of your insoles from the radiator reflector. Get some double-sided tape, tape both sides of the reflector, tape the cut-out reflector to the inside of your boots. And finally tape the original insole to the cut-out reflector inside your boot.
I work outside in the cold and this helps keep my feet nice and toasty. By reflecting the heat lost from my feet back into my boots, rather than through the sole and into the ground! I tried it in light snow and whilst standing on it for a few minutes the snow beneath my feet didn't melt! 👌
Good idea
Great idea mate. Although nowdays I prefer to avoid the worst of the weather where possible...
Look for some car insulation too - heat reflective, sticky...
Excellent vid, as a new shooter I find your no frills tell it how it is, perfect for me, I would like to ask, your glove, it’s a big hefty thing, is there a reason for that? Excellent vid, I’m subscribed, watched & hitting bells 😂😅
Its a target glove. It stops the pulse in your hand from affecting the shot.
Added bonus... They are nice and warm in the cold weather.
Thx 4 the reply, excellent advice, too you n yours, have a great Christmas 🎅 🤶🏻
The glove is an anschutz one, it cuts the pulse being transmitted through to the rifle a fair bit and is super grippy 😉
@@tillysgunstocks Mine is an Anschutz one too... Looks different to yours. Then again mine is 30 years old!
A most excellent Christmas and New Year to all! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Good advice
14:40 good idea to do this first thing with a new gun regardless.
Very true mate, I had a couple of factory springer stocks here a few years ago that needed repair with water ingress in the Inlets 😞
My winter league results are better than summer league.
Cold, wind and rain dont have a detrimental effect. I even get higher scores in the wind and rain.
I have more issues with hot, sticky, no wind.
I think its because I concentrate more in cruddy weather.
Hi mate, I've recently got the xti, ( FT ) and noticed you have a rubber butt pad on yours . And would like to try one on mine, could I ask please where i could purchase one .
What chrono do you use?
Thanks for all the videos, have a great Christmas and New Year too.
The orange one is made by my mate Nate down in Oz. I'll likely do a video next year on the various chronos I use. Have a great one 😉
@@tillysgunstocks Surprised you didnt use the newer "more colourful" model ;)
I still use a Mk1 Combro Crono.
Its as accurate as the expensive bench crono at the club.
"That won't apply to many of the women"😂
I dont think that rifle has ever had a spot of mud or blood on it, cupboard shooters ???
All my gear gets used in all weathers, you've only got to see the state of my 9015 and you'll see it's been absolutely thrashed over the years 😉
Im trying to get to grips with indoor shooting as i get older finding your stuff educational :)@@tillysgunstocks
