Nice vid and exelent shooting! 😮
In my country it is to windy for outside long distance shooting.
A little wind takes the pellet easy 1 meter away at 300 meter,
I’ve been there.
There are only a couple of days a year when it might be possible..
I guess I’ll have to be patient. 🙂
Regards, Robert.
Nice. There are some break dancers in there…

Thanks guys. All of my videos are of me shooting my R2.5 and R3 25 longs. The hardest part of long range shooting is getting an accurate range with a rangefinder. At 100+ yards, it is really hard to pick up a ground squirrels head and not the field a few yards in front or in back of him. I use a Hawke 4026 sidewinder and I have Chairgun range cards taped to the side of my Matadors.
IF I can get the exact range, it is easy to hit the little buggers out past 100 yards. You just have to compensate for the wind. On the 126 yard GS shot, there was a telephone pole next to him that I ranged. I didn’t use enough windage on the first shot, got him on the second try.
Birds on a wire are easy to range find. I have a video of a 126 yard head shot on a “dove sized” bird. I always try for head shots.
I have a video of a 156 yard head shot try on a GS, I didn’t use quite enough windage and the shot was just to the left of his head. He didn’t stick around and give me a second try. I’m still pissed off that I didn’t use quite enough windage on the first shot, it would have made a good video if I had made the shot.
Mrnewbie, I have a few vids posted on Youtube –I think-. If so, they would probably be under hdtb, hdtb3, oldgoat1 or oldgoat.
It has been a long time since I have posted there.
It is a BIG NO NO to shoot doves with a pellet gun in Illinois. The manager at a local grain elevator asked me to control the starlings and pigeons that were infesting the place. I got them under control and the manager wanted me to start on the doves. The place is really thick with them.
The manager told me that he will try to get a nuisance permit for the doves and if/when he does, I will be in hog heaven.
Didn’t watch the video but 225 yards is very impressive with a .25 diablo shooter.
Nice shootin’ Tedd, really nice!
The lomg range shooting stuff is fun.
I look forward every year for the farmer to harvest his field out back.
Then from fall to early spring, I have a feild range as far as the pellets can fly.
OG..I recognize that vid..and sexy voice. 😛
Whats your utube name?
I noticed the sounds of doves in your vid.
Forget the GS’s…I would have taken a few doves..good eatin
PS leave that sheep alone
Old goat was that you doing the shooting? Awesome shooting.
How about a 126 yard head shot on a ground squirrel? I try to just do head shots on them.

Nice! My AA S510 FAC is one of my favorite shooters. What I’d like to see is a lethal, 100 yd shot into a squirrel! Quit wasting lead and money shots on paper or cans!
x2
Shooting out to 100 yards with my AA S510 Carbine FAC in 22cal was not a problem for me his past summer, shooting out to that distance through the viewfinder of my camera while filming my shots… that’s a different story :
I just ordered a new Synthetic Stock 25cal Marauder and I’ll be giving it the full testing and pushing the distance out to 200 yards for sure next summer. :8:
Wow. I hope I get to that level.
Easy peezy. At one of the benchrest matches at Ione last yr we put some steel soup cans at 225yds with similar winds as video.
My Edgun 22 long was hitting regularly. It put a serious dent in can but didn’t penetrate. Pellet was completely balled up on ground in front of can.
Another shooter with his modded Mauruader 25 shooting JSB 25 at appx 880 fps was going clean through can.
Shortly after I got my 25 long. It’s even better at that distance at 940fps 🙂
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!

Wind is a real bummer on low BC pellets. I am real lucky to live at the bottom of an Ozark valley and it is near windless a lot of the time. On the negative side I don’t have long ranges to shoot in the woods except when the leaves are down in the fall and winter. Sometimes I can hear wind whistling through the tree tops up on the hills but it is still calm here at the bottom of the valley. It also saves on heating costs in the winter. 😀
