Airgun Extra Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Mat Manning and Rich Saunders are joined by Eric Irish who has big news about the Crackshot prize draw, and the three shooters discuss what they are looking forward to most about the British Shooting Show - including the launch of a new Raystate airgun.

Mat and Rich have been testing Rifle airgun pellets and slugs from ihunter.co.uk, and share their accuracy findings after a session on the range. They also have some top tips for using peanut feeders to shoot more grey squirrels and offer useful pointers for shooters looking to buy a low-price thermal spotter.

In this Airgun Extra Podcast Mat Manning and Rich Saunders talk about high power air rifles and consider whether it's worth making the move to FAC rated hunting hardware.

We catch up with Eric Irish from Crackshot, airgun centre and ranges, who offers a great solution for family friendly wet weather holiday activities - airgun shooting.

Rich gives us an update on his two days with our competition winner, which included range shooting, lots of hunting plus a night of curry and beer.

The conversation also includes why you need a chronograph and why we still work the graveyard shift to go hunting at night in the summer. We even offer some advice on how to get into the airgun media industry, and tackle the subject of the inevitable trolls you will encounter along the way.

In this Airgun Extra Podcast Mat Manning and Rich Saunders reflect on their recent hunting trips with tales including being attacked by an owl and shooting from the comfort of a swimming pool.

We also report on a recent test looking at the accuracy and expansion of Rifle EVO HP Field hollow point airgun pellets and try some of the best targets for airgun shooting.

The conversation also includes how to choose between a traditional telescopic sight and a digital day and night scope, whether you can still use old pellets and what to do with the things you shoot.
