Compared to the total number of air gun videos one can find on YouTube, the number from India is small - and in particular I can find no video that emphasizes air guns as a sport along with safety information. I have made a video for newbies - introducing airguns (springers only) and safety information. I think the idea that shooting is a safe and enjoyable sport to be encouraged is something that I want to promote. I will later add other videos by others on this thread - including some by IFGians whose names I recognized.
I request others to add videos too

Hi Bennedose,
Brilliant - Good script, voice over, camera work & editing
A good intro to a novice air rifle enthusiast.
The straw demo conveys the exact principle behind an air rifle's working.
Safety rules well documented.
Great work sir
Frankly I too make films & AVs (have a diploma) - made over 50/60 mostly for products & application - Engineering & Crop protection, corporate etc.
Somehow never got around to making one on ARs - although it in the back of my mind
Let's have more of these

Thanks for your positive comments. Although I have been fascinated by guns since I was five years old and have been an air gun enthusiast for 35 years (at least) I find that people around me have no clue about guns. Psychologically many Indians seem to be brought up with the idea that guns have a negative connotation. This is surprising considering that Dussehra is here and Ayudha Pooja - where weapons and tools are shown a mark of respect are stablished in popular culture is days away. My belief is that we need to fill "info-space" with stuff that shows that guns are just like other tools and are a part of society and useful for entertainment and sport without any killing needing to be done.
I had posted a news item about a javelin injuring a boy. Sport has evolved from the military. You cannot ban sport. Ban javelins, they are dangerous. Ban swimming - you can drown. Ban guns they are killers. No. Guns need to be demystified and the rules need to be well known
I have a well heeled young friend - two decades younger than me. He said he has an air rifle. I asked him to bring it in his car to our workplace so I could see it. He thought it was illegal to carrry in in public. wtf? This is an educated man. We in India have a long way to go and I will do what I can.
Hi benne ,
Excellent video and voice over !!
Your SDB does not look old at all.
You may get new rear sight in gun shops and fix it.
Keep coming...........

The Soft drink can found to be most excited amongst all.
Yes , that is what plinking is all about.
My favourites are Deo cans and pencil cells but I always run short of that.
It depends on my given days fitness that which gun I pick to plink for the day.
Presently it is SDB 45 .The National 25 gets chance in between but most powerful Local-35 hardly gets any chance these days.
Nice video indeed.....
