Gray Squirrel Bonanza – Benjamin Marauder .22 PCP

Hajimoto — Sat, 21 Oct 2017 18:33:44 +0000

BYUUUUP! Its time of year again, yup gray squirrel season! Yeeeee Haaaaa! PEW! PEW! PEW!
In this video I dispatch 16 or so over a few day period. All kills were made on my private property and all squirrels were cleaned, butchered and vacuum packed for winter consumption.

I have altered the video format a bit to allow more video action and less yappin. Give me your thoughts on the changes. I will be trying to make 2 videos a month until hunting season ends so stick around and keep an eye out.

Enjoy!

About the rifle used:
Benjamin Marauder GEN2

The rifle has been completely torn apart and all metal openings have been deburred and polished with a hone and 1200 grit sand paper. I typically shoot JSB 18.13gr at 865FPS = 30FPE. In this video I and shooting 14.3gr Benjamin Destroyers at 898fps which developes around 25FPE. Special thanks to Travis Whitney from Air Rifle Technology for the TSS and Super Hammer, they make adjusting the rifle easy peasy Japanesey! The cocking action is smooth as silk now.

The regulator is set to whatever gave these results. The HUMA regulator bar indicator is very crude and it is near impossible to determine the actual bar setting. I removed my pressure gauge block so that I would maintain maximum air volume capacity in my air reservoir or else it would be simple to determine regulated pressure.

Below are some of the mods and equipment I used in producing this video.

Scope cam update: Night Vision Sequel

Hajimoto — Sat, 02 Sep 2017 22:18:19 +0000

This video is a follow up to a video I did back in December of 2016

as it relates to My Scope Cam Quest. This session I cover Hero modifications and a general overview of how I included night vision to have one of the most versatile scope capture configurations I have ever seen. Below are links to the previous video as well as links to all the components used in this build.

My scope has an eye relief of 71mm-83mm , after this build the eye relief is 15mm-20mm.

The following two links are to images that capture the completed assembly. One with the camera by closed and the other with it open:

Hajimoto Tips: Add Bluetooth to your rifle

Hajimoto — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 21:44:06 +0000

This video is a step by step tutorial on how to take a $8 Bluetooth selfie stick and use it as a bluetooth device activation trigger. Most every recording device made today has Bluetooth capability so that you can remotely start and stop the camera or activate a sound device, whatever you want. This makes it very convenient during a hunting scenario where you want to capture the kill on video but you don’t dare take your eyes off the target.
