  1. I try and keep a un bias view of these posts and try and stay neutral, and look at it this way. If the rifle is as good as all the different reviews say. If it really is as accurate as Simon shows in his clips. If it can compete with a pcp then surely what he does in bringing it to the attention of the shooting groups is a good thing wouldn't you agree? Nothing worse than a big secret that just an elite few keep to themselves without sharing. Also as Simon shows, he and his shooting friend Davi are sponsored by SFS and so doing what sponsored shooters do (spreading the good word). What do peop
  2. Why don't you join the VerminHuntersTV Facebook group as there are a lot of members in there with Imps or waiting on a Imp to be tuned. I watched a bit of new Imp footage this morning that Simon Pittaway uploaded of him shooting tiny targets at 63 yards then a wood pigeon at 68 yards with his .22 Imp. Its a pretty formidable rifle I have to admin and one that seems to be as accurate as a pcp especially and distance. https://www.(!64.56:886/photo.php?v=10152268155791229 I think that you will need to be a group member though to see the video or have a Facebook account at least.
  3. After shooting an Imp last week I have to disagree about a HW97 out shooting a Imp, tuned or not to the max. Match yes, out shoot definitely not. Its as you say shooter dependant and a good shot with an Imp would slaughter a average shot with a 97 and vica versa. The Imp may well seem a light rifle and some with little or no experience would think its going to be bouncy, hard to hold on target like a 95 say but that's not the case with a the Imp from my trying of it. It sits on aim nicely, is EXTREMELY accurate and would in my opinion give a lot of pcp shooters a run for their money if in a ca
  4. Well at least by amalgamating both meet events people from THL as well as FB will be able to meet both Davy and Simon now Simon isnt on here any more.
  5. Yes please do tell. What was your experience ZX? Its only fair the members hear both accounts.
  6. Hello gentlemen, There is a lot of good advice in this forum gentlemen but i wanted to pass this on. I myself have just picked up my first Sandwell Field Sports tuned HW rifle after reading reviews on the company and watching certain You Tube channels. To be honest at first i was sceptical of these reviews and results demonstrated on You Tube from these rifles especially when i knew that some of the demos were being done and shown on You Tube by SFS sponsored shooters. This was the case until I saw that more and more shooters were raving about their tuned rifles that Tony Wall had tuned fo
  7. I am a member of the VHTV Face Book site and have just seen this earlier this afternoon which I find astonishing. Now I used to live near Simon so know him better than some , but not as good as others on here and i do know Simon loves to play jokes on people so I wanted to ask, do you think that this photo is true or a VHTV wild up? 64 yards with a .22 Sandwell Field Sport spring piston Imp and 3 shots. I wouldn't think many pcps would match this type of shooting so did Simon really achieve this or is it a wind up? In the Face Book post Simon writes that he also filmed a similar group with his
  8. You seem a font of information Secretagentmole with vast experience with many air rifles. It's great to have people as experienced as you on here.
  9. Ok then here's a question. 1 rifle Spring piston and 1 rifle pcp. No tuning or alterations allowed what would you choose for each rifle? I'll pick a HW100KT in .177 closely followed by a BSA Ultra SE. Air Arms Pro Sport closely followed by a HW95K.
  10. That's strange you saying that about BSA barrels Andy97. It contridicts everything I've ever read in this forum from past threads and on the internet as a whole. Im really not sure where and on what grounds you have made that statement but it kind of makes me feel your making it up and as you have in many of your recent posts are playing the Devils Advocate. You can read about lads with rapids changing their barrels for BSA barrels as the way they are made makes them very accurate. I agree about the rapid being a top pcp I've shot my mates old one many many times over the years. They have long
  11. Brilliant little rifles. I own one myself and am just getting the Ultra Se too. I have a friend who shoots a Rapid 7 and friends with other well established pcps and the Ultra Se matches them all shot for shot for accuracy. Even the now legendary HW100 cannot out shoot the Ultra Se for accuracy as I have seen with my own eyes. One of my friends has just sold his Rapid 7 to buy a Ultra Se after testing one. His exact words were "amazing". With 40 - 45 shots in .177 and 50 - 55 in .22 that's enough for a check zero, plink and some hunting before a re pump is needed. Pellet wise Air Arms seem ver
  12. With the way you comment Andy97 you seem to have a bone to pick with people, Simon being one of them. From looking back at old posts Simon and Davy were on here posting a long time before VHTV was established and with lots of good friends by the look of it so your final comment was uncalled for, be it your own opinion. I don't know why you cant just drop it and stop trying to stir up problems in here.
  13. I've spoken to Simon over the past few days and he is in good spirits. He sends everyone his regards and best wishes. As Moxy eluded Simon is too busy to spend time on this forum, the YouTube channel, his shared Facebook group and with his wife and son while trying to film and produce a new DVD with Dave so he's decided to leave the Hunting Life forum for the next foreseeable future. I sort of get the feeling he feels he has nothing more to offer the group and he as passed on what he knows now. Maybe he will be back at the end of the year in Nov or Dec after the VHTV DVD is released. To the ne
  14. I'm sure if you were to read the comments left by the original poster and others who commented after watching the clip on YouTube you would see that this clip was not made as a fun jesting clip and more of a nasty attack on Simon and Dave. By you posting the link on here you are just adding to the way this clip is spread about the internet, i.e in forums like this Andy. To you it may be fun, but to others and maybe closer fiends of Simon and Dave this may not be so funny. I actually know Simon, he used to live in my old village and I've met Dave on 2 occasions, once on a Bonfire night at my vi
