    Dave, I don't know which seal or oring you're referring to, but I think you can order it online and replace it yourself. I'm also sure you'll be able to find a tutorial on the KZread on how to do that. Or perhaps some of the airgunning forums. That gun is the flagship of Air Arms, if I'm not mistaken, so there should be videos explaining how to do that. Which doesn't mean you shouldn't buy a new gun if you want to 😉 Not sure if it should be one of the Swedish guns, never shot any of those.

    Hi Alex, greetings from a cool overcast East Yorkshire. Yesterday, took out a skyrat that I've been after for a while. With avian flu still on the go around here, I am assured that the pigeons coming in the garden are feral, as all the racing pigeon lofts around, about four or five, are shut up tighter than a sharks arse, and that's watertight. We feed the wild song birds, and I don't mind the wild wood pigeons coming in, as they hoover up all the seed that comes off the table. So this bugger has been coming for a few days and chasing off the wild birds, but I was in my garden bar, with rifle in hand, only about 12 yards from the feeding station. Anyway, got it, neck through body. I've never had one bleed as much, all over the patio. The wife caught me washing down the blood, wasn't happy. Hasn't spoken to me since, but a few cocktails and nice Sunday roast has smoothed things over, until next time. Good video, all the best, from Big Steve.

    Hey, Michael 🙂 Like I said in the video, a little over 960 fps. Of course, this may vary depending on the gun, barrel, slug weight, slug size, etc., this doesn't go for all ZANs in all calibers, of course.

    Used to live in Philadelphia, Pa in an apartment and pigeons were congregating on the roof. The pigeons were pooping 💩 all over the roof, steps, and railing. Use of a firearm for such purposes is forbidden in city limits. But one day I came home and found piles of pigeon feathers all over the steps. I looked up and saw a hawk circling. Apparently the hawk was picking off the pigeons. The pigeons never returned! 3:36

    That's really interesting, David. I've seen hawks here and kestrels too. I've even shown some in my videos. They manage to scare them off for a minute or two. Then they return. A wild raptor would get one and leave; maybe two to feed its young ones. But they don't seem to stay too long at that place - I imagine people scare them.

    That is a powerful sounding gun and you are using what looks like heavy pellets . What is the power rating of the gun ? I can see on your slow motion the pellets arcing into the target but you hit the folded wing in quite a few shots and this is a very strong part of the bird and can deflect pellets , better to hit them in softer parts such as neck or head . difficult to do at these distances in that very strong wind .

    Thank you, Dave, few people realise how challenging it may be to shoot an airgun long distance in wind, and the anatomy of the sky rats too. Usually I try to place a shot on a pigeon facing me - like this they expose their vitals. But sometimes they just won't give me such an opportunity and then I take the shot either way, hoping that if the projectile deflects by the bone, then I'll finish the bird with a follow up. That being said, most airgun projectiles deflect because the really good ones are made of soft allow which deforms easily upon impact. The gun is highly adjustable, you can tune it in a wide range of power levels, depending on the caliber too. You can check the link in the video description, it'll take you to the website of the seller where you can find further details. Thank you 🤝

    I strongly recommend getting a PCP. But it would require a stirrup pump or an air tank (like a scuba tank) to refill. If you don't want to spend the extra cash and intend to shoot short to medium distances only (for an air gun), then get a break barrel gun - gas spring is better, in my opinion. Plenty of brands and options on the market, depending on how much you're willing to spend.
