@@janne65olsson Thank you! I'll take that extra 👍 with a 😁. I try to think of people new to the sport and just talk through the shoot. Thanks for the kind words and for watching. I appreciate it! 👍
@@arpc bit of a newbe to pcp & scopes etc, can ya give us a tip on ( my zero set at 20 yards so if I see a rat at 10 yards do I put it a mill or so under crosshairs to allow closeness & pellet etc 👍
@@martincoombs1295 This is best for you to do trial and error. There's videos on hold off which explain how to judge your hold over and under. This varies in power, pellet, distance and scope. Get a box, set it up 20 yards away and shoot a hole at your zero. Move 5 yards away and shoot the same spot again, see where it lands, this distance is your hold off for that range. Repeat this every 5 yards out to your max comfortable shooting range marking down the change on your reticle, one mildot, two, three etc. Then reverse this moving closer and marking down the same. When you're in the field, use these references for shooting. The ARPC Toolkit App on Google Play has a feature to let you store your hold off values for quick reference later.
Nice shoots. After a mouse/rat plague in the '60s, I remember my uncle shooting rats in the grain shed. Some of those were near the size of cats. The .22 short rifle helped clear a lot of the buggers away. Such a sweet little rifle, even if not an air rifle. Nice shooting, good video.
Have you ever considered using chocolate as bait? It brings them to a target area of your choosing, they find it irresistable & if you use grated chocolate they can't just grab a lump & run off with it. Chocolate always worked a treat when I used to shoot rats, even in daylight hours. Sadly, I'm too old & too riddled with arthritis to go shooting now, but in the 1970s I was out every weekend without fail! Best regards.
Wow, it's been a minute since you posted a video. Glad to get one from you. I have to say, that if I was stuck using a sub 12 gun, I would use a .177 myself, but once you get into FAC power, the .177 pales in comparison all the way around to any larger cal. I'm so spoiled by my 30 that my 25 and 22 feel like toys anymore. Been knocking larger stuff off (like raccoons and woodchucks) at 50 to 105 yards with relative ease. For what and where you are shooting here, your gun is about ideal.
I was considering an FAC air rifle but decided on a .17 HMR instead. That's a beautiful rifle. I'm hoping to get out more with that soon too! Thanks for watching! 👍👍
Which gun and pellets are you using?. I prefer thermal too. As you say, you can track the pellet like tracer. I've just got a Weihrauch HW 100kt..love it. Just discovered your channel. Great shots, commentary and love the sense of humour....subscribed!
I've been watching pest control videos for a year now and find the experience relaxing. Being a "country lad" probably helps! Channel authors are at pains to point out that head shots are humane but surely torso shots are just as good? The heart should stop instantaneously with a shot to the torso and thus the rat "dies" immediately. Correct me if I'm wrong...
Absolutely right. I try to get a headshot where I can, It's my preference because I can quickly collect the animal and put it away in its disposal place. A body shot (H&L shot) often results in the animal running away. You are correct, body and head give the same result. Dead rats.
@@arpc Thank you for that explanation. Yes, I notice that some rats run off after getting shot, but they usually don't get far. It's the jumping ones that make me laugh... but I shouldn't admit that to too many people!
New viewer and recent air rifle enthusiast. I notice your crosshairs adjust throughout the video, do you have presets for different ranges or is it fancy video editing?
Hi! Thanks for watching! If you mean they move/snap to the target then that's because I'm using an ATN scope with a rangefinder. I range the target and the scope adjusts the cross hair the where it's needed. I don't need to worry about that.
@@arpc Thats a fantastic benefit for a scope! basically an automatic zeroing scope? Will have to perhaps invest in one if I get the chance to do any pest control myself.
@joshnolan8826 It's amazing! You still have to zero it but it's quick. Supposed to be one shot zero but more like 3. After that, it knows where the zero is in relation to the target and the onboard ballistic calculator makes the changes for you.
Great video thanks. I’m sure you’ve mentioned it before but please remind me what thermal spotter & IR you use - it certainly works ! Also are you shooting off sticks or is that freehand ?
blood brain and it pissed himself, Gotta thank youtube for the pest control recomendation. Lol Not a popular hobbie, however a very lucritive one if you live out in the country like I do. I love popping critters. Not generally mice.. but rats sure, coons, oh yeah. Heck a cyote... Nice.
Stay quiet. Look at all the building edges, hedges and ledges and look visit in the day time first to find rat runs, see where dropping are and see where they collect. And, be patient!
I try to collect as I go if it doesn't disrupt the area. Sometimes when there's a lot of activity in one area, I'll stay there shooting then collect at the end.
My big brother said a potato is a great silencer. Now I must get security clearance to buy a potato 😂
“Nibble on his harry beanbag”. CLASSIC! I’m glad your back. Miss your sense of humor.
Great to see you back Jonny. Lovely shooting and commentary. Looking forward to the next one 👍🏻
Thanks mate! I'm hoping to get more out this winter! I appreciate you watching mate! 👍

Australians and Brits divided by a common language with Americans. The accent kicks my ass!

Hey. Thanks for the kind words. It's ratting season... right around the corner. I'll be out this winter - more videos on their way!
Great to see you back .Have missed the shooting along with your style of commentary.
Good to see you back,great stuff keep them coming
Thank you!! 👍👍 See you soon with more! 😁
Commentary is so funny adds to the fun of taking them out,,, vermin.
About time you posted a video! Good to see you adding little patches of red paint to brighten things up.

Cheers Alan! Nice to see you again! Thanks for watching another episode... hopefully I'll have plenty more this year! 👍👍
I'm guessing the FBI and ATF are monitoring my comments 😅 I can't get close to a silencer in USA without a security clearance.
Haven’t seen a post for awhile. Great shooting and fun commentary. It’s nice that you enjoy your work so much 😂

What are those nasty black bugs? They’re huge.
No idea. I'll give you a pound if you eat one 🤣
i think it fair to say those rats died of a possible case of lead poisoning
Just a ted slow in pulling the trigger, thus missed out on a few targets.
Is it not considered a blood contamination of the drinking trough taking those shots?
Hola papá, me alegro de tu espalda. X

Excellent marksmanship! What rifle were you using? The Impact? Is the scope the ATN X-Sight 4k Pro LFR? Just guessing.
Thank you! I'm using the 4k Pro 5-20 with the ABL. It works amazingly well at night on the rats! 👍
@@arpc I have a DS35 Pard coming. My backup scope will be the ATN 4k on a HW100 laminate
@@belakis1674 Nice! Both scopes are really nice. ATN has it's problems but they're generally really good.

FX Impact MkII, ATN X-Sight 5-20 and I'm shooting JSB Exacts in .177

Thank you! I dispose of them according to the farmers wishes.

Thank you! Good luck. And enjoy!
Do you collect bodies as you go, or do a sweep after the night's shooting is done?
I try to collect as I go if it doesn't disrupt the area. Sometimes when there's a lot of activity in one area, I'll stay there shooting then collect at the end.
Watching your videos here from the Philippines. Can you please shoot the rat's balls after a fatal headshot?
