    Man it’s weird to watch these videos after not seeing your channel for years, I remember as a kid maybe 14 your videos got me into air guns and I got a little 120$ gamo break barrel .17 with a scope and started getting really into squirrel hunting and pest control for farmers! Hope you start posting more, maybe I’ll dust off the old gamo haha.

      Hey man, I'm in the same boat. Im in my twenties now and I have a .25 marauder that just sits... I would love to break it out and help with pest control! I never did do that for farmers when I was a kid tho, could you tell me how you got into that and how it went? I'd like to do it but I dont know any farmers and don't know where to start :/ it would be awesome if you reply! Thanks

    @TedsHoldOver  Před 3 lety +69

    I realized after uploading that it may not be entirely obvious how I broke my WildCat. I left it on the bed, resting upright on the bipod when I went outside to gather up the dead starlings. While I was out, the mattress gave way from the weight of the gun, and the WildCat tipped over and rolled off the bed on to the floor. That is why I called myself “stupid.” 🥴 I should have laid the gun on its side.

    There was a feral cat around my house who would hide in the bushes and whenever I shot a house sparrow under the bird feeder, she would dash out and grab it and take off. She was my retriever cat. I would occasionally put the sparrows and starlings on the corner of the driveway and at night the feral cats would pick up the sparrows but never touch the starlings.

    I see the dedication you have in what you love.
    I'm asking for a tune, set up, or even the down side to the maverick.
    I'm in .22 and I know by experience that the hammer upgrade can be a pain in the butt if you don't know what to do to tune it once installed. To much preload will throw your fps way off
    Marco adjustments was must for me
