It's a little late but finally got around to last years videos and making one out of them. It's a little long but some great footage and flying rats . It will get us excited and ready for the season Hope you enjoy

Good job, Mark! :eek:

That's some of the best rat-launching video I've seen. Great editing and slow-mo shots too. You're getting better at this every year there, buddy!

We'll probably see you guys out there again in the coming weeks. "The most fun you can have with a rifle!" :wink:

Bet you can't watch the video without giggling! :lol:

Great job! A quick word of advice for filming this year, place the rat in the bottom 1/4 of the screen, for obvious reasons. That one field must have had 10,000 rats in it! Looked like some rats got a good 20 feet of air!

They can really get some big air time , i always try to get them in the bottom of the screen , but it can be hard to coordinate with the shooter sometimes but i will keep that in mind . That field was insane as you can guess that was baby time !!!!

Fantastic video!!! Thanks for posting it. I'm looking forward to the 2016 version. What caliber rifles and weight of bullets were giving those rats the highest flight???
