The Airgun Show - Feral pigeons in the farmyard, PLUS the new FX Maverick…
Спорт
Feral pigeons can cause major problems around farm buildings, where their droppings can contaminate foodstuffs and also pose a disease risk to livestock and workers. Andy Watkins is in action bringing the winged rats to book this week, and makes a decent tally over two visits.
In the second part of this week’s show, Mat Manning takes a look at the brand new Maverick from FX Airguns. This innovative PCP bullpup features a twin regulator system, which promises remarkable shot to shot consistency. Tune in to see what Mat makes of the latest offering from the Swedish airgun supremos.

Watching Andy shoot is a pleasure as is his commentary! Great video!
Excellent marksmanship, as ever from Andy.
Time drags along while waiting for the next episode of 'The Airgun Show', then always good to welcome Andy's shooting outings here. Thanks for this, Mat.
Andy has a very steady hand on the pigeons, nice gun and you explained it well 👏👏
Back in the early 80s as a young teenager, a airsporter rifle was good enough, would hit most targets no worries, with 4x32 scope, 500 tin of pellets would only last the weekend, happy days 😀
Great video guys thank you.
Wonderful job Matt. Thanks for bringing us amazing Airgun content. Pat
Awesome video. thanks.
Nice work Andy keep em coming
Good shooting, Andy, love the slow mo action. Just inspired me to head out in the cold today and bag a couple of Woodies.
Loving the Slow motion video footage of the shots Andy.
Great video thanks for sharing.
What a great show this week really enjoyed it keep up the great work stay safe
Another good show, thanks lads! 👍
Well done Andy....you are surgical with that rifle.I'm jealous of your steady hand without a car or shooting sticks for support👍
Nice shooting from Andy and good to see you reviewing the Maverick Mat, am hoping to do that myself soon. Just a shame I can't review the Compact version - that's the one I'd love to have (FAC) in either .177" or .22". All the best, cheers. Russ
Go Andy, we love your an awesome shoot. Tom NY USA
I’ve always wanted to get a license and go hunting just recently started watching and I’m already learning so much 💯💯
Probably the best air gun in production as of Jan 2021!
Precise shooting! You're very well skilled at this.
Nice shooting.
Another Great show I enjoyed it Have a great safe year..
Love my FAC Maverick Sniper
Wow Andy, those are cool looking pants.
Wicked scope cam footage
Great shooting Andy
Great work as always. Please could you post a pinned comment link here, to the UK Government consultation you mentioned so that we can take part. Many thanks.
Nice hunting mr👍
Good job.
Nice shooting Andy! You made that look easy. I do like the Maverick... but, I think th Impact MkII still has the edge in looks and build although I do like the double regs!
Just need the impact to have dual regulators 🤔. Great shooting Andy 👏

Very nice
Good shooting Andy. I’ve got the Walter Reign and been very pleased with it. I’ve got a Wildcat in FAC and a Dreamline Tac but they’re no more fun to shoot. There’s something very straightforward and functional about the Reign and I’m losing interest in paying ever more money for the tiniest of insignificant modifications. Its called it the law of diminishing returns. I think we forget we’re shooting ( in the main ) sub 12ftlb air guns at 30/40 yards not military snipers taking out bad guys at a 1/2 mile. The Maverick has 2 regulators but that group was no better than what can be achieved with the Reign and 2 regulators = twice as likely to go wrong and it costs twice as much. I’ll stop preaching because I’m totally taken in by all the innovations and I’m too easily parted from my money with all the hype that surrounds new guns but the Walther is definitely underrated £ for £.
Great shooting yet again Andy. What is the gun bag you were using, looks big enough to take my R10se, with nitesite and range finder fitted without any problem.
Good shooting! Think about your backstop... You shot through the roof with that pigeon.

😂 haha, no I didn’t
What pellet was used in walther reign? Brand, weight etc. Cheers
For a 12ftlbs air rifle what grain pellet would you recommend for pigeons
Nice video only one gripe... you only ever seem to shoot paper at what I can only estimate at about 25 yds.... why not shoot paper out to a measured 50 yds.!
Hi I have a Walther reign and am finding it difficult to get a gun slip for it as it’s quite deep with a scope on! Any suggestions? Thanks.
What rifle are u shooting with on the beginning ?
I’ve picked up a Maverick and as soon as lockdown is over I’ll be out with it!
Great content! My 8 year old son Canaan wants to know if you ever miss.

Haha I miss, not as much as I used to though ;) I try to include them but sometimes it’s not always possible to fit them into the 10 minute slot :)
Is Walther a new sponsor? Have a PPS 40, quality brand.
Does anyone have recommendations for a beginner airgun
What pellet does Andy use in the reign?
Andy, what Mod is on your WR please ? I have one but am struggling to find a mod thats not causing issues. Thanks fella
What Scope is it your having on?
Love your british accent
Things seem very overhyped , probably got to be to justify there high price , 2 regulators, two small metal cylinders turned down on a c n c machine , probably 50 p to make , and a few metal tubes and some plastic , oh and a small carbon fibre bottle , guess the guy at fx can get himself another Ferrari , when a few of these have been sold ,, 1400 quid , not outta my pocket that’s for sure , I’ve come across people at the gun club with 1000 pound guns and guess what , they can’t hit anything more than I can with my Kral and hw97 , and think you should have put that target out to at least 60 mtrs , Matt, my cp2 could have done impressive shots at that range cheers shane uk 🇬🇧
Always a good idea not to upset the asbestos
To the Zoo Brilliant
12:35 what are they boots he has on
Great shooting Andy - your pigeons drop more like a stone than with some other hunters with much more powerful rifles. Must be your shot placement!
Great job mate, but now I regret buying a FX crown😭😜
Sub 12 Maverick...sounds almost criminal. And is that Element Optics Helix? :)
Is the maverick you are useing FAC or sub 12? garte show by the way and better shooting
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What is the difference between a £160 springer and a £300 one if they are both 11.5ft lbs?
What rifle is the young lad using
Do you eat those pigeons? would keep you fed pretty good! From MI in USA
High tech sound effects
What is the hat he is wearing called? looks awesome :D
How many guns do you own
