Random question regarding a YouTube film star... MrDAVERATZ.

 

He may even be a HL member... Hello if you are.

 

Anyway, I'm been catching up on some of his rabbit bashing videos on the choob and to be honest, he comes across as rather an epic 'un supported standing' shot. His rabbits drop like bricks and the 60 yards mark. In the descriptions, he sometimes mentions his set up... Logun in 22 and a 177 Gemini... Nothing on a ticket so I've seen, unless the logun is a fac only?... but without one cony doing the flip on impact or even a jump as some do, (I've watched a few videos of his now) the pellet makes contact and, jesus, they just crumble and stay put.

 

I'm kinda thinking it's down to the pellet?! Would anyone happy to know what pellet he uses? It'll probably be a AA Fields or something but I have to know.

 

Even mr pittaways rabbits do the usual flip on impact, mosts do, but this chaps shots... The pellets hits and they just drop. No jump. Nothing.

Small sample for those who haven't seen pellet impact at its best...

Down to earth is how I would describe the man. Bangin shot too.

hi Rez

i have experienced that if you shoot to the rear of the brain,this is the part of the brain which controls all the nerves.

which when hit with .22/.177 the bunny will drop forward and not give its usual high leg wave.

 

try it out and see for your self

Tar mr Davy. If only I could be that precise my man

 

I kinda know what you mean, in his footage they just crumble, hence why I thought his setup might be on a ticket for the sheer wallop. I drop rabbits with my 100, the ones that are proper headshots tend to flip, but his don't. It's like a sledgehammer blow.

 

It's the exacts mate. In 22. Sledgehammer

Hi Rez , glad you like my footage , jsb exact jumbos are what im using % of my shooting , some of my rifles prefer others , the lighter pellets are falcon at around 14grns , shot placement is 100% with me , im to old to chase down a misread shot nowdays, one of the vids a friend lent me some very light hollows and the impact is incredable , also helps i had extra mics on the cam picking up impacts ,sad but it works for me yes i also open up shot area to see if i can improve on placement , sad but usefull to me, beeen shooting for over 35+ yrs not just weekends but aleast 4 days a week so learnt a few tricks, thanks very much , atvb Dave

Whenever there's a chance I will take a facing away shot, ie rear of the head, they just slump every time. Really useful when there's several as you often get a shot at a second one.

Daveratz videos are very good.
