#006 - Hunting at night, high-power airguns, scope mounting solutions and more...

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.
