As a boy in the late 1950’s I was a member of a shooting club where as a junior I was using a scaled down .22 single shot martini action rim fire rifle shooting on an indoor 25 yard range. The rifle had aperture front and rear sight. My first lessen was breathing technique which has stayed with me all the years and I still use the technique in the second half of my 70’s. Although I use scopes I still like the peep site.

Jay Way ... a 100 yard shot with a Gamo Magnum is going to be a "hail Mary" shot no matter what scope you use or elevation you are shooting from ... The only way to get an accurate answer to this question is to set up targets at 25 yard distances ... and shoot them yourself with the same pellet... prepared equally ... (ie bullet lube and visual inspection of the skirt etc) ... please keep me in your loop on this one... Dr. Russ

Hello Dr Russ, Thank you for your extremely helpful film on air rifles. I really enjoyed watching it, with all the helpful information you gave. I've only had air rifles a few years and in my mid fifties. Air rifles, due to circumstance, were forbidden when I was growing, and when I dearly wanted to own and be trusted with one. There's a recent comment on here, truly enough, along the lines of, beware of the hunter with only one gun! I have now, some of the air rifles I dreamed of when I was younger. With that previous statement in mind, I did what you suggested. I dedicated each air rifle with information cards and a tin of pellets. I set out targets at ten, twenty, thirty, and forty yards. I zeroed at forty yards, then produced the card, kept with each particular rifle, telling me hold over/hold under at all the other distances. It's impossible to remember how each rifle shoots, these days at the different distances, what with everything that is going on these days. My only tuition is from conversations with work colleagues, Utube, and helpful people like you. I found your section on breathing very helpful, too. I like to shoot springers and already am aware of and practice artillary hold.I've really enjoyed watching and listening to you. There's something about listening to a senior person who knows what he's talking about and has the experience to back it all up. Also, your pleasant, respectful manner is great, too. Thank you for all your help, guidance, support, and enthusiasm. Best wishes from Ian, in the UK.

Very nice presentation. At 14:40 for the wind adjustment, instead of indicating that one should aim left to each of the mil dots, I would suggest indicating that the target be sighted on the first, second or third mil dot respectively TO THE RIGHT. This makes it a bit easier to think about where your target must be (in your scope view) at the time you shoot. At 15:20 the comment regarding sighting at 50 yds may be confusing to some. He indicates that "I've got to aim high so that the pellet comes in low" Aiming high will put the pellet at an even higher trajectory which is the wrong direction. The elevation adjustment for the target needs to be by aiming below the target to accommodate the pellet trajectory being high at the 50 yd distance. So, his aim point should be two mil dots lower. In other words the target should be directly behind the second mil dot ABOVE the crosshair which means you are shooting lower to compensate for this high at 50 trajectory. Please comment if this makes sense to you.

Exacly what i needed to know...i'm literaly new to this and other than a few adventures with crossmans and daisys when i was a little kid a few decades have pass since the last time i carried an air gun and shooted with it...but recently i was having critters problems and my traps was not working at all so i decide for a better solution and bought a cheap daisy powerline 880 multi pump and two 500ct crossman high quality pointed pellets thin cans and exterminated the problem...thing is that i'm hooked with this now and want to learn more and of course planning on buying a good rifle and after doing a research on many brands i just fell in love with the Weihrauch HW97k blue laminate...i kill those critters by shooting them from just 10yrds more or less and my rifle is just on open sights and at that distance was pretty accurate but 4 days ago i was target practicing with my daisy and begun to shoot from 10yrds at my target and same result..but then moved to 20yrds aiming exacly the same way holding my breath but that time the pellet was hitting higher again and again...now after saw your explanation of the way the pellets travel now i know what was happenig...now i don't need to look further to learn more about air guns...thank you for your knowledge sharing.

I agree 100%, I don't have the money for all the accessories, learning how to shoot my guns correctly makes it look like you have a lot of money in one. I grew up with a Dad that hunted everything with a .22 rimfire, accuracy was key, so I guess I learned to use what you have and how to use it before putting more money into it. I did a crappy video on shooting tips that I used to relearn how to shoot. Health issues completely changed my body so I had to learn how to use my body and shoot again. Great info, very informative video.

I just had a couple of calls to do some hunting this morning, I'm not able to go and it looks as though it's gonna be the only warm, clear day this week. I finally got myself a new camera that I can work with, I haven't gotten a scope cam yet, I made one but broke it, but I'll still may be able to get some footage. Honestly, my big hold up on getting out and doing a lot more hunting the way I would like is due to the fact that I am disabled, I have issues and don't drive much because I can't control the steering wheel that well, not that I can't, but it can be dangerous when I have to make quick movements and my body won't do it. My whole body is hosed up, but my shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hands are the main issue with it. I refuse to drive with my kids in the car for safety reasons, and for the safety of others while I'm out there. I never thought of or dreamed I'd be in this postion when I was younger, not even five years ago, but here I am rockin' it anyway, lol. I have to be easy and move differently, turning the wheel will pop my shoulders outta socket in a heartbeat, it's hard to drive like that, lol. I'll be looking forward to the vids, sorry about the long comment, I can talk for days when it comes to hunting and my airguns.

@@russjones7981 I do appreciate that, it's true, I've been through everything here you mentioned, but never considered it as handicapped, I've supposedly been handicapped since I was 14, I'm now 50, it didn't stop anything, you simply learn how to live differently and work with that ya got. It wasn't until 5 years ago that it really hammered me and disfigured my body, nobody was able to see the pain and problems of having severe Crohns, the fight to beat it when I was supposed to have been dead and gone 25 years ago, I have RA that disfigured me, OA, MSD, and a few more issues. It's strange when you fight it and try to live a normal life and most people put you down for it, try to tell you it's your fault, you're lazy, etc, etc. I still snuck into the military, I worked and done jobs I wasn't allowed to against doctors orders, beat the mental game of it, I refused to even say I was disabled until a few years ago, I would not accept it, and honestly, I still don't, disabled to me is not being able to do anything, I am able and I will as long as I have anything to do with it. I get comments at times from people who should know better that say stupid things like, "You look fine to me", or "We all have problems when we get older, you just need to toughen up". They have no clue, I've been dealing with it since I was a young teen, I've almost died more times than I can count from it, I've been through crap that most would never believe until they hear it from others who have been around me, it's just the life I've lived. I've had autoimmune disorders since my early 20's, chronic pain since I was a teen, and boy it has definitely gotten worse, but I still try to put a smile on my face, keep on living and trying, just living and getting through the day is tough on a daily basis, it has been for a looooong time it seems. It wasn't until I was in the shape I am now that people could physically see it, if they don't see it then it's in your head, lol. It's all a mental game, there are so many times I never wanted to live another minute to have to suffer and nothing could be done to help me other than comforting me until I was dead, but I keep beating the odds. It's hard not being able to do as much as I once did, but I get angry at myself for not doing enough, not trying enough, not fighting hard enough, I always know there is someone a lot worse than me, like my Dad who is eaten up with cancer and dying as we speak, other family members whom, even though they aren't in the physical shape I am in are still kicking and trying after absolutely horrible things have happened to them their whole lives. It's the mindset I guess, I watched my Dad rebuild a whole new section on his house and still make it when he was in a wheelchair, he kept going, and still is to this day with only a few months left. I want to do things and I eventually figure it out, if there's a will there's a way, I know I have issues, but look what Steven Hawkins did. I guess I made the comment when I was hurting pretty bad, every joint in my body is hosed up, has been for years, but the pain can get crazy at times, I look in the Dr's face begging for someone to help me and there's nothing they can do but try to comfort me as best they can. I've found ways to help myself, but I guess I get a bit whiny at times over it, like right now, I'm hurting like a SOB today, but all I can think is that it'll get better, I'll feel better in a few hours, it's not that bad since my stomach is not adding to it at the moment, I am better than I was five years ago, I'll continue to get better, all I have to do is keep going. It's a mental game for sure, I guess I get tired of the fight sometimes and get whiny. Sorry about that, but thank you for the reply, I was thinking about it and thought I shouldn't have put all of that on there, and I was expecting something in the area of comments I mentioned earlier which is normally what the response is when I bring it up. I guess I try with the videos and getting out to hunt when I can and messing with my guns to keep my mind busy, but to leave something for the kids, especially my seven year old in case I don't get so lucky in the fight in this battle, something he can hang onto and have from me if that happens. I've been on that edge too many times, but in my head, I will be here when he's 30, he deserves that and I'm gonna do what I can to make it happen, if it doesn't it won't be from me not fighting for it, that's for sure.

They`d bait the bees early in the morning with honey or something sweet and sprinkle flour or chalk on them. This lit them up in the early sun and they could get a direction on the hive. They`d move the bait closer the next time until they found the bee tree. He taught me a lot of survival info in the 1970s.

Good overview on basic shooting concepts. After years of shooting competition .22 small bore, I was gifted with a couple air rifles. What I noticed most about the mechanical performance difference were the horrible triggers on the air guns. The short crisp release of my .22 LR gun (Winchester Model 75 3lb match trigger) was replaced by a long, slow, soggy travel to some undetermined release point. Your sight picture can move around a lot while you're pulling back, back, back on that squishy stock trigger. My first mod to these air guns will be to improve the triggers.

They have been there for several years( "neither one of those air guns shoot straight. Oh no it is not me. I allways have the pumpkin on the on the spike. Wind? It just blew my hat off and I had to RUN after it , breathing all over the place but I am on target now.") Hurry jerk the trigger when everything lines up. Missed again. I need a new air gun. Pcp They don't miss! I am not quite this bad but I saved your vedio and I am going to make myself a test on the points you covered. One queston, when using a scope do you close the unused eye. I got the guns out last month (actualy the rifel fell over) I figured it must be me and not the equipment so I am trying to educate myself and try again.

I have a cheap Hatsan that was a bit over 100 new, a 22. I can hit a Vienna sausage can open sights at apprx 120 feet away. I can`t afford anything expensive and needed a pest control option for nighttime for my garden. It shoots at 800 fps with a 14.3 grain pellet and is perfect for me. I hated spring air rifles for years after trying out the Walmart garbage friends had years ago. Couldn`t hit anything at all. So this one surprised me. I only got it for the power...figured I could do damage very close...maybe 15-20 feet...to stop a herd of vegetable destroying armadillos. A Daisy had little effect. Thank you for your service, sir. I have friends and family members that were over there. I see what they go through over it. I was just a kid back then. Our small community lost some great guys there.

Good day sir. Ive got a question that I feel your expertise may be helpful.I have a Benjamin bulldog 357 and I added a depinger its not a short depinger its a longer one to supposedly make sure each shot gets the air it needs.

@@drsrussandpaula yes the pressure in my rifle will certainly make a difference but most videos ive seen have all been the short depinger and the one i installed is a long about twice the length its designed to give plenty of air volume for even the most hopped up rifles(thats what the information on product says im new to this and have zero knowledge 😂) so I was wondering if you had heard any campfire stories about the depingers in general. Wyoming airguns is who i purchased mine from and good quality. They sent 2 single shot trays with the depinger they stated the quality wasnt high enough to sell but are fully functioning products so I believe this company will deliver good quality. Just wanted to pick your brain . thanks for your time keep up the good work.

If you are following the tips I give in my video on Accuracy... and you are getting a good tight group at 30 yards ... 3 inch circle... then you are fine.

We have a GAMO Black Bear air riffle that shoot a pellet at 820km/hr to hit a target at 60 meters and the pellet will fly in a old pot with a layer of lead inside to catch the pellet. It's fun to do.

pass through is not always better especially with rifles. with a bow a broadhead makes clean cuts the entire way through causing massive damage and bleeding. with a bullet a passthrough of a pointed bullet causes far less damage than something like a hollowpoint which is designed to break apart and cause more damage much like the 2-4 blades of a broadhead. That is why bowhunters dont use field points when hunting. field points are far more likely to pass through, but cause way less damage and bleeding than a broadhead.

I’m a retired mature guy but new to air guns and this video was really helpful in helping me remember what is essential and will no doubt improve my groupings. Thank you. However, a question, here in the UK by law our airgun are restricted to being sub 12ft lb unless we have a firearms certificate (which I don’t). So, question would be taking your last points re aim points for critters and this is mainly squirrels, rats and feral pigeons- can we actually achieve a humane kill using your ping pong ball analogy which would take out the main organs, particularly with a ,177 at say 25yards. Note, I am in no way challenging your advice, I am just trying to ensure it will still work with airgun which are considerably lower power to those you have in the US - over the pond here we are advised to go for a head shot, but as you quite correctly state, this is a much smaller target. I want to ensure a humane kill. Whilst these critters are vermin this is no reason to cause a prolonged and painful end, hence want my shots to be spot on and accurate.

Even I have made the switch to head shots today ... to stop them in their tracks and guarantee a quick, painless kill.

I'd appreciate your experience with optical shooting aids( apertures.."eye pals" etc) for us "more experienced"(old farts) shooters.

Magnus pym ... it is good to hear from you and yes ... I have learned that my eyes need to have good prescription lens to shoot and hit targets... Most important in all of the info on scopes, etc... is to have a good one. Consider going to Fieldsupply.com and looking up refurbished scopes ... they have some Hatsan and some CP (Center Point from Crosman) scopes that are more than 50% off.... that are Chrystal clear. Usually costing 40 to 60 dollars... and they arrive like new... Dr. Russ

Great video, thank you for your service. Been a long time since I touched a rifle, haven't zeroed iron sights in 16 years. Lost my taste for weapons after the invasion of Iraq. You have any video on adjusting iron sights. Also I would like to add breath control, Trigger squeeze, picture sight. Most use too much finger for triggers causing them to pull left and right. Or they don't place their cheek in the same spot every time. Had a platoon sergeant once correct me on elbow position. Having your elbows flared out can negatively effect accuracy. Keeping your elbows pulled tightly together effects form and increases accuracy , but I can't totally remember why it hard been a very long time. Thank you again for the great information.

thanks for writing Shaine McMillan ... I covered many of the items in your comments ... except for the one about elbows.... it is important to use them when standing or sitting up to gain more steady support.... and in the lay down prone position... they act as a tripod and need to be steady too. I thought I covered iron sights in this video when I discussed the "pumpkin on a post".... Wars leave our brains in a position of trying to remember what is needed to be remembered and forget what doesn't need to be remembered again. I suffered from PTSD after Vietnam ... leaving 16 men in my Infantry Unit who didn't return home with me.... unfortunately, PTSD cut out those memories ... along with everything else before it ... like college... high school. ... and growing up..... Fortunately, friends urged me to seek VA counseling on the subject .... and I have my whole memory back ... and can speak intelligently about Vietnam for anybody who asks .... please keep us in your air gun info loop ... helping us help everyone stay air gun sharp...

@@russelljones4132 I wasn't certain, I try to share what was shared with me. I'm so glad to see vietnam veterans getting the services they deserve. I know the va was horrible back in the day. Even states have gotten better about helping veterans. Took me 8 years to get my ptsd service connected. And it was only because my state had a office to help veterans. Over the years I have noticed posture effects so many different things. I took it for granted until I spent time training in Martial arts. Things flow so much better when your intent is focused. I definitely scroll through the videos. I just spent 120 dollars on a colt m4a1. Looking forward to playing around with it. I don't use regular fire arms anymore too many memories. Thanks again for replying. Oh ya I asked because I am a little fuzzy on zeroing iron sights. Back is left and right, front is up and down. But I can't remember how much each click is.

Hollow point helps keep pass through down when shooting in the yard where you don't want it. Plus h&n crow magnum hollow points open up pretty good in .25 from my pcp and hatsan 125. My favorite hunting pellet. Great knock down power.

Yes this is target shooting. My last yr in the corps I shot a 249/250 day before qual day. Shot 247 qual day. But dont pat me on the back I had a very good m16. Doesnt happen that often. But I still hated those military (peep) sights!!!! I like the tip of front sight in the groove on rear sight and on target. Boy these airguns really get everybody stirred up!!!!
