My first day out with my FX Boss .30 PCP Air Rifle. The gun severely out-shot me on this day. In fact, one might say I brought shame to the FX name - hahaha. In time, I will improve, and you will see a LOT fewer misses. The truth is that this gun is better suited for crushing mid-sized mammals. The report is quiet, considering the power. But, it is louder than its .25 and .22 counterparts (FX 500, FX 400). The increase muzzle blast helped to alert the agile house sparrows and starlings to the incoming pellet. Consequently, you see many of them jumping well before the pellet reaches them.

"Can a starling really be dead enough?" - Quote of the year!
the only other way to get the number down is catching them and sending them per mail to europa. over here they are not so common anymore.
Yes, send them to Jupiter's small moon of Europa, far away from civilization.
just shoot it again with a a deagle 44 through the head to make sure.
@@Irobert1115HD That's the same crap everywhere, everywhere humans go, they take with them the pests. It's the same for the asian hornet, the Colorado potato beetle we received in Europe comming from US this time. Same again for the Phylloxera and nowadays we have the Covid 19 ! But of course, the Starling case is just magnificient. Because it was mentionned in Shakespear's texts, it has to be imported to US, OMFG !!!!
anyone else think hannibal lecter
Wow, headshot through the silo roof. That is unreal. I suppose that's one way to keep from spooking them before you make your shot.
.30 did come in handy after all!
He must have used the force, on that shot!
God mode sniper! Amazing and addictive videos!!!
"Can a Starling really be dead enough?"
Not at all!
Good on you, sir!
These videos make me wish I lived nearby you so that I could enjoy giving you a hand at taking back natural habits from the Starlings!
Nice wallhack Ted!
de_nuke silo wallbang
Wow that aimbot.
pigeon hunting with .50bmg
They would probably literally explode lol
BOB JONES Nah, it would just disapere :O
I'm a tanker. On my last deployment an enemy with an anti-tank rocket got hit with the main gun and just disappeared. No mist, no chunks, just gone.
Ryan Gosling I KNEW IT!
The Military InDUSTrial Complex, ya see, is using supernatural weaponreh!
It would just disappear XD
You are the happiest guy on CZcams, you always have a smile. Sensational.
Excellent thoughtfulness for the raptor, making the shoot eco-friendly, sustainable, recyclable.
They're pests, they're not endangered, I'm pretty sure these can only be hunted and certain times of the year, costs farmers thousands of pounds/dollars in damages and shit they're pests and that's what pest controllers are for
Pigeons are rats with feathers.
they good eating unlike rats old man
electron being you don't want me answering that, but let me say that there is a pretty similar amount of meat.
More like crows and jackdaws... Flying rats and mices. :'D
They still deserve to be shot and killed cleanly.
@@electronbeing5473 yeah you meany jk you a jerk
@Ted's HoldOver At 6:43 -- You are such a freaking wallhacker bro.... You gotta tell me where you buy your hacks bro!
He is a evil who kills animals
*****
Ted you put so much work into your videos! You're awesome dude. Keep up the great work!
6:35 Ted's HoldOver = Aimbot/Wall hacks CONFIRMED
Phantom hahaha
I like this guy already. takes off glasses..."can a starling really be dead enough"
reading and listening to the video's about the two birds, really told me what damage they can inflict.
Thanks for the good sense of humor ted. I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up buddy.
***** Just wondering if you modified your benjamin in anyway, some feedback would be great!
Damn, that one you got through the silo was sweet. I realize it was unintentional, but badass nonetheless.
intentional? how could he have possibly known that there was a pigeon sitting PERFECTLY on a rafter or something EXACTLY where he thought he was aiming to make sure he had a proper zero?!?
no way on earth he could've set that up & do that intentionally either lol.
I do realize that, that was probably a typo but still, lelz.
Enjoy these videos! You are a Master of your passion!
Ted I really love your videos! Great pellet rifles,and awesome knowledge & demonstration of your mil holds & wind counter! I could grew up hunting at 9 yrs old with a Benjamin-Sheridan,5mm pump that was my Dads in the early 60's. I regularly made head shots on sparrows & chickadee's at 25yds(farthest side of back yard fence) with this rifle and with only iron sights. A few years back I shot a dove in my back yard in AL(as I did often during dove season),and had the same thing happen as your first shot in this video lol. 43yds with my Benjamin spring gun(break barrel) and nothing special scope(no mils). Dove got spooked by a blue jay as the trigger broke and what would have been a fatal shot instead clip'd its wing,but the dove only made it 10-15ft before the hawk watching snatched it from the air in front of me :)
I do love watching Ted work...But I also love reading the butt hurt of whiners.
mike5556 i never see anyone complaining
Pheonix19581 try to sort by new

Ooh my god thankyou, lol, they're so damn funny
Only thing better than watching him work, would be spanking these devil-birds myself. :)
@@nimshadow6160 With the one and only, "TedsHoldOver rifle". Couldn't be any better.
*Pigeons has left the game*
Hey Ted,You have made it man. Seein'all these nice videos: You are the man.
Your videos makes my day Ted
That pigeon is gonna get you banned for wall hacks xD
do a 1K people really have nothing better to do but videos they don't want to just to dislike them..?
I call wall hacks on that silo shot!
Love your vids Ted!
Nice job Ted as always !
What was that thing in the background at 4:26? Looked like some kind of unmanned vehicle
Lol just a sprayer
What is it for, pesticides?
herbicides
Umm excuse me no, sprayer dont hve their muffler removed, that was a beefed up truck manned by a douche theres about 100 of em where i live
I hate starlings so much! There's too many of them.
Buddy Van Cigrit wrong to many idiots like yourself
Your videos are absolutely awesome! You earned a sub! Love the vids of cooking and preparing too! (:
Those shots are amazing
Can a Starling be dead enough? If asked in North America it is a very good question. Startling (i.e., Sturnus vulgaris) was brought to New York from England in the 1890s for trivial and misguided reasons by individuals who had no understanding of ecosystems. By 1990 Starlings were breeding in California and today there are an estimated 400 million Starlings in North America (far greater numbers than any native bird species) and they are wreaking havoc with our avian ecosystem on this continent. So no, they cannot be dead enough.
Mandolin1944 You are absolutely correct. Selfish reasons have caused irreversible ecological havoc. Cockroaches of the sky.
I'll admit when I saw your first video my initial thought was 'why'. Even though I know virtually nothing about air guns (outside of pump action daisies I had as a kid) I find your videos very insightful and well produced. I imagine it won't be long before we see you on the Outdoor Channel (give this guy a show already!). Let me know if you're ever in the Dallas area and we'll do some pest control, Texas style (i.e., hog hunting!)...but bring a powder burner ;) Keep up the good work!
I really like all your videos :)
Subscribed!
I love these videos. Growing up around farming, we used to use .410's, 20/12 gauges to shoot birds, and as you said, tend to scare livestock. I used to use a .22, but I never liked that the bullet went to parts unknown past the target. An air rifle at least offers a finite range. One of my favorite things to do as a teenager was to find a tree full of starlings, sneak under it with a 12 gauge loaded with a pheasant load (2 3/4" #4), and open up on the flock up in the tree. Used to get a bunch of them down this way, and it was even more fun if you had some buddies following up as they flew out of the tree, lol. Sometimes we'd come across a rat infestation around a silo or corn crib. SO we would pump water down the holes, and wait with shotguns to blast them as they came running out. To city people or bleeding hearts who think these methods are cruel, trust me you have no idea how much destruction these animals do on a farm. That's the one thing I miss about living in town- people call the cops when they hear a gunshot. So air rifles are about the only way I can keep the varmits down in my backyard, and out of where they shouldn't be.....like in my garden, or bird feeder, etc. If I could only open up on a deer or two (and fill a tag) that would be a real time saver, haha;-)!
If i ever needed proof that some guys just have insane luck with their shots, it's that no-look headshot. Grrrrrr. :)
I hate starlings. Nothing but flying poop factories.
Best thing to do is find a tree full of them, break out the scatter gun, and BOOM!!! 10 of them come falling out of the tree. If you have buddies armed with shotguns, you can easily take out 20-30 more in one flock!
I just take them out one by one with a .177 cal
They deserve to be wiped out. They are an invasive species in the United States by causing damage to crops; competing with native species like blue jays and common grackles; threaten native plants and insects; and carry diseases.
Great video and amazing shots and accuracy.
Nice shot at the end. Pro and you know it!
I am loving these commentsXD
plz make more videos for fx boss :) hi from sweden . and the price for it is 1530 dollars in sweden.
yea we want more videos.
Cool video as always ted
In another video, you discuss the question of whether or not the birds can see the pellet coming. It's interesting to me to see that nearly every birds seems to be trying to go to flight immediately before they're hit by the pellet.
It sure does seem, to me, that they can see the pellet. But when they do, it's too late.
Great videos!!
Do you get paid to do this? They always say to do what you love. I spent my youth doing what you are doing just not getting paid for it. Some people may be offended by what you do, but I am all to familiar with the damage that they can do.
Overkill? This is America isn't it?
Soon to buy my first PCP, (airforce escape 25 cal 97 foot pound model) been watching your vids for a very long time.
Keep up the good work ted ;)
Great shooting! Hope to be that accurate someday as I just got into airguns. My first purchase was a Crosman Phantom .22 break barrel and love it so far. My next air rifle on the list is the Hatsun 125 in 22cal maybe .25cal at a decent price. Power of a PCP in a springer I like since those PCP's are a little out my price range at the moment.
This guy should be in faze like if u agree 😂
Ted,
whats your recommendation for approaching farmers and landowners for permission to shoot feral pigeons on their property?
I also go dressed appropriately, but I haven't had any success. most of them respond with "we don't allow hunting on the farm". how do I explain that having 100-200 pigeons is dangerous for their livestock
Joseph De Marco Tell them the dangers of the pigeons and what they do to livestock and crops.
That and they don't won't some stranger in their property lol but keep trying eventually you'll find someone
Amazing videos brother!
Your videos inspired me to start hunting small game so I went out and bought a .177 caliber rifle
Cool video mate. Nothing like shooting rats with wings... ;-)
2000 dollar airgun, not including the scope and other addons. jealous
Great Video Ted!
Unbelievable long range shots with a air rifle! Too cool!
Some of the comments on these videos.. 90% of them are likely people who never leave the comforts of the city.
question, if he misses and the pellet ends up hitting someone in the head, will it be enough to severely hurt him/her?
Aimbot clearly...rofl
lol
lol
Lmao, for real he just aims and shoots then sits back and eats a nectarine
That was awesome.... it was like you had x-ray vision on that pigeon in the silo.
which gun is more accurate the fx boss 30cal or the fx bobcat 30 cal
Watching this video starting off I thought this guy was just a douche bag who killed a shit ton of birds for fun but he is just a pest control worker taking care of birds for pay. Just a honest man doing honest easy work.
It's called pest control idiot
No shit! I was just saying I thought he spent his weekend afternoons laying in fields and shooting these pests for fun. Ain't nothing wrong with it but I just got the wrong jest of it and so did you.
If the job that you work for is a job that you like to do yeah it is.
Anthony Demauleon And how'd you come to that conclusion exactly? Honest work doesn't refer to back breaking farm work dipshit.
Yet if you have been doing work for a long time normally putting in great effort it's not that hard. Take logging for instance. Packing a 14 Ib chainsaw up and down hills plus the bar oil, wedges, and other tools adding on 18 Ibs. 32 Ibs ain't that much but if you have been doing it for a while it's just a normal day of work.
3:34 X-RAY HACKS :P
Ya he is a jerk.
LMAO @ the nectarine scene. Love your vids Ted.
I just recently got into hunting crows and pest birds with air guns and subsonic .22lr. Safety is key, but the fun is limitless.
Thanks for the great and informative video. I hope to post some of my own someday.
It's the most fun I've had in years.
I love people are still talking shit about animals being killed. Grow up how do yu think anything got down any time through out history hahah
There is no way it cost 2000$ to make this gun . Someone is getting rich quick off of the u k
you're right it doesn't cost $2000 to make that gun. It cost $2000 to buy that gun. lol
You think it costs $550 bucks to make a Glock? How about a grand for a Kimber? Grow up, people go into business to stay in business.
Simple Supply/Demand... These rifles are very very niche, so they cost a lot
There is no way that a Red Bull costs 1,50 $ as the can is with its three cents much more expensive than the content. Whatever you buy costs exactly as much as people are willing to pay for it. I´m in the automobile business... but just estimating the rifles real cost (bought components, own production, labour force, tool leasing and all that stuff included altogether) should be around 300 - 500. Meaning a FAIR retail price would be somewhere between 600 and 1000 $. But hey... I´d be dumb to sell you a Coke for 15 Cents when you are willing to pay a dollar for it as I like to haul my ass in an Audi instead of some cheap crappy car... that´s called capitalism. I don´t say it´s good but that´s the way the world has been working during all times and ages!
True
"Can a starling really be dead enough?" haha
Nice to see these videos.
Thanks a lot for all of your videos. Very, very impressive.
Special thanks for educational parts of them - it's very important for kids to understand what is ok to shoot and what is not.
If i'd ever visit USA, I'd like to shake your hand for all your work.
I have a 1.77 Gamo air rifle what's the best distance to sight up my scope I got to
Enjoy your videos and educational demonstrations
Great vid my friend, that.30 pellet packs a mean punch
When is that blue bird vid coming up?
any day niw
sooooo how many pests birds do you kill and what constitutes a pest bird?
Love this guy for his reviews and he's pretty funny he's not to serious but he keeps his point and thanks for your videos man
As i grew up in the Midwest and moved to the South hearing a midwestern dialect is an interesting but welcome change from what I'm used to. Regardless, love your vids! Keep up the good work
What rifle should i go with for rabbits ? Is Fx Boss .30 overkill? Or what do You recommend ?
I cleaned and ate many house sparrows (and pigeons) when I was a kid. It was a great way to practice field skills. They actually taste quite good. And, no - they are not a serious disease vector. Breast them and pan fry them on medium heat for about 1 min on each side.
You totally deadpooled that silo pigeon, Ted!
I really love your videos and i support you! Probably most haters don't even know, how important or educational your videos are.
I am watching all your vids and just came up with how do you refill your air tanks??
Thanks!
love your videos
How does that work? I see 15 yards on the -x axis and 75 on the +x axis, yet their y values are roughly the same.
Look up ballistics. Basically the sight is angled compared to the barrel. The bullet or pellet comes out, travels "up" to your primary zero, keeps going up until gravity takes over, then starts coming back down to your secondary/long range zero.
For example my AR-15 is zeroed to 50/200 meters. At 50m I'm dead on, at 100m I have to hold about 2 inches low and at about 200m I'm back to my second zero. After 200m I have to hold high as the bullet continues to drop.
Hope that helps.
hey Ted.!! do you get many variety of sparrow there.? more often than not I have to lay off the trigger last second because it ends up being one of a handful of native sparrow species..
What pressure do you use to fill the air tank?And what is the average distance you can shoot with that pressure? Thank you.
Superb video as always. Wonderful!
That looks like the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
What happened to the "unlisted" videos link?
I've definitely got a cowbird and starling problem. Also, mr woodchuck has a date with my airgun as well. Nice to see someone else looking out for the native bird
So ted your videos are amazing and you inspired me to start hunting, I'm 14, would you recommend the ignite ops tactical pellet gun from Walmart, to hunt pigeons, please answer back thanks
I know starlings are pest birds because they kill a lot of the songbirds and sometimes steal other birds' nests and lay eggs in them and the other birds don't know and the starlings hatch but what do the house sparrows do? Just wondering.
Could you adjust your air pressure to get higher output velocity to give you a flatter trajectory?
question for anyone- FX boss .30 or fx impact .30-which is better for purchase?
My phone doing typo's by itself. Sent the gamo back 3 times. 1st gun was made in spain. 2nd in England ( got excited when saw that) 3rd gun in U.S.A it turned out to be a shooter. 3/4" groups at 60 yds all day long once u learned the trigger. This year lucked into a gentleman who was a purple martin enthusiest, and asked me to keep the starlings and sparrows away from the martin house's. Excellent shooting for hours at a time !!
Crisp, clean lock boys...
Bro, you do the Lords work! My channel is mostly fishing, but bassin' takes a back seat to huntin! Wether it be pest control, for food, or just flat out for the joy of the kill, you are a figure on youtube and I would be honored to hunt along side you. Keep up the freakin awesome shooting
