I watch all of his videos. They're good for things like chrono numbers and an overview of the products. The problem I have with them is that it appears that his groups are heavily cherry picked. Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen him shoot a group with pellets that measured more than 1/2" and when he did his review of the .72 Zeus he claimed that the DonnyFL Great Kami would make it backyard friendly. That's just straight up BS.
I think that negative reviews are usually the best ones. We need to hear more about which guns don't measure up and why.
I agree, i get tired of "Its so great", and you get it in your hands and it has a crap trigger, feels like a polished brick, or weighs a ton.
That's an excellent point about the freebies being dependent on good reviews. I've seen some of the more honest reviewers admit to this and claim that they simply don't make videos if the product isn't good. The Airguns of Alaska channel is very amateurish, pretty much just an ordinary shooter talking about his experiences with airguns, so when he slammed the Umarex Synergis he wasn't risking any sponsorships.
Not so, Sir, have you seen Firewalker's and my comments on the JTS Airacuda Max? Not pretty but honest representation of the truth, all still alive and well in the archives. WM
