Looks like you need to get amongst the rabbits

get the buggers I have ewes and lambs foxes are a bloody nightmare, nice shooting by the way

Excellent video Mark, and great shooting to, catch you on your next adventure 👍✌️👌

Nice place to shoot👍

Cracking session again there mark

Great film Mark

I cannot seem to get my ballistics calculator built in to my pad ds35 lrf to work. I chrono'ed the bullets I'm using and input all the data from the box other than the speed. I also measued 45 mm scope height. Can Mark or someone please explain what might be happening? I missed two foxes last night at 175 metres because of this. For context, I also hit one at roughly the same distance a couple nights ago.. could there be a big spread in the bullet speed? Using Fiocchi 223 55grain epn rounds ona tikka t3x lite. Thank you.

I now need to see you test out custard as a back-stop 😁

Beautiful mark😉👊❤️🇬🇧

Great shots Mark, tomorrow is my turn 😁

That’s lot of rabbits. You need to get on them too. Next time you have a spare nexus you can send it to me. 😂😂😂. Might see you Sunday if you are going to the game fair.

Rabbits on my patch wiped by rabbit ebola RVHD. I stop and stare if I see one atm. Mark is a very professional and skilled hunter inc. long range. Always useful to watch and digest what he does and why. You will learn a lot from Mark. Lugging all the camera kit around must be a proper PITA though..... also good to see what the kit he uses does in real life. Those habroks look like they are good. Will be looking at thermal bins soon

I can’t believe the amount of rabbits out there, I’m luck to see 5-6 per night 😳

Great video as always..👍 there are some amount of rabbits there..need to start picking them off😉

Spot on 👌👌👌

Great video mark and a nice set up there on the 22 very nice, Certainly plenty of Charlie’s on that hillside mark and a lot of rabbits too. Great viewing and thanks for sharing mate. 👍

Awesome video, gents! Always a privilege to watch mark in action. Guy is a class act.

👍👍👍

Good to see you hope your well on the way to recovery.

great vid helped explain a few things just need to get out now a try putting them in to practice

Do you have to kill the wildlife, it's just trying to survive.

Big piece of plywood with a yellow pages screwed to it does the job, it makes a little bit of noise, but nothing too loud. I think the rifle used plays the largest part. My HW100 is practically inaudible, it doesn't even frighten pigeons that are sitting on the fence, but my 97K with it's big piston is pretty loud.

I use a cocnot mat and you cut that to the size you want. Stretch the soomth side forward with a wooden frame with a stick of target stickers on it and you're done. Not too heavy eigther. Remains beautiful. Even in the rain its stays remains fantastic. And Gary get well soon.

Yes the box of old clothes works very well !

As always fantastic shooting mark and amazing footage 👍👍

We are in the countryside. We both have BRK Ghosts. There are no houses too near by. We also shoot at blank ammunition to create an effect. There are shotguns and crow scarers goling off all the time. You shouldn't set out to annoy people and we need to protect our hobby. The problem seems to arise from townies moving into the country and don't like the sound of it. If you shoot in your back garden in an urban environment that's a different issue.

Nice touch: 'Lest we forget' - I'm guessing that 1st fox you snapped it's back 🤔

Have you brought a HW97 now, Gary?

I

Brilliant place with great people and ten minutes from my home😁

Putting scientist hat on. 3dB is double the sound pressure level (SPL) but 10dB is subjectively twice as loud; it has a logarithmic scale. The standard placement of a dB meter would be 1 metre in front of the muzzle and 1 metre off to the side, this is for consistency when testing. The way a Maxim works is by changing the SPL, slowing it down, in other words, dropping the pitch of the note produced. Silencer or moderator, same thing really; Maxim called it a silencer but it moderates the SPL. The primitive hair curler silencer just absorbs noise, it is not a moderator. If you have dropped ~10dB you have halved the volume, plus you have dropped the pitch of the note.

fyi ;) The inventor of the "silencer" was Hiram Percy Maxim, son of Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim (british) inventor of the machine gun. As well as the Silent Firearm US patent 1909 he invented the exhaust silencer for infernal combustion engines at the same time ca.1902. A swiss chap Jakob Stahel had invented a silenced humane cattle killer in 1892.

Duct seal is better than Plumber's putty 👍

Hi Gary, a Bale of Straw, Meadow Hay etc Lasts for years if protected in a plastic wrap, smaller bags available from Pet bedding suppliers. GWS

I use "rubberized mulch" sold in the garden department of the local hardware store, used for landscaping. Simply fill a cardboard box with it and stick a shoot n c target on the side of the box.

The two quietest silencers I’ve heard are the Weihruach which is the Benchmark and the quietest is the A and M TWINK which is ridiculously quiet the pellets hitting the target are the loudest part of the shot. It’s that quiet you think nothing came out of the barrel.

Man….. your phone was bricking it!!!!!!

Hi Gary. Hope your recovery is going ok. I use cardboard boxes filled with rags or old clothes. Keeps my impact noise right down. I just stick a target on the box. I’ve even used scraps of wood to make a box and filled it with old clothes. I’ve not had any penetration out of the boxes even as small as 4” thick. All pellets are retained in the clothing. Get well soon. Love your videos.

Very informative video Thanks for sharing.

Glad to hear ankle's improving. Eighteen months ago t'wife had to have reconstructive surgary on her foot/ankle. Seven weeks in a pot, absolutely no weight bearing, then another seven weeks in a boot. Bit of a mare rarely. Big Steve, E. Yorks.

Great video Gary. For a quiet back stop i use a paving slab and some carpet. The loudest sound is the pellet hitting the paper or card target. I once left a target out in the rain and you couldnt hear the pellet hitting it. Hope your on the mend, take care.

A plastic tub and a Grand (bag of sand ) for me i think now I've seen the video Chilli , nice one , the bonus is i can just leave that out rain or shine 👍

Helpful video! A simple plywood box with some fabric (like old jeans) inside does the job too! Old carpet rolled up or cut and used as many horizontal layers would work too.

The flight noise might be an air version of cavitation in water. Sand is the best as it self heals but only if its dry. Lead in a pan, tray or similar is very good indeed but dangerous to DIY. Plumbers putty does not self heal like sand nor does cloth if you shoot the same spot. A concrete slab pitched forward I would say is essential. The pellet can leave the boundary if you have perm. A friend had a garden range that backed on to a field he had perm for too. It is 50 feet from the centre of the carriageway ie under 17 yards and its from the centre So if you shot from the centrea reservation of the M4....... your unlikely to hit the sides. You must cause reason for distress to travellers on the highway to contravene the law within 50 from the centre sp 25 feet each side Not the precise wording though. Probably only likely if your gaden borders a road or path within the 25 feet If in doubt ask if an FEO can visit and assess. It took me over 6 months to have a 2nd cabinet inspected and approved so good luck with that. Some rifles can be very quiet - my FAC Impact Mk2 is as quiet as my sub 12 HW100 with an HW mod.... apart from the impact noise.... out of choice I would go dry sand every time. It stops really well. Self heals and you can recover the shot lead clumps to recycle. The sand will become dust as the grains break down but its cheapish anyway

I use a thick deep oven tray not the cheap ones too thin filled with putty screwed to a bit of wood with the shape of the pan cut out all Tillys gunstocks idea not mine. Its Very quiet and not had a pellet go through yet behind that i have a 8ft wood wall too thats about 4 inches thick.

I have found that when filming the mics pick up and amplify the oddest of things at times. How loud is that hammer spring on the Ghost, very pingy and probably louder than the exiting pellet I've found that when I've had a camera set up down range I can't hear the muzzle noise or rifle, that includes the springers. However, being close to it it does sound loud?

Another Great One Gary 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Gary what is the mouse hand hold on your ghost ?

Gary, a simple informative video; the radio idea is great. Keep going my friend.
