I guess I don't really know the full inns and outs of how youtube works🤣

Let's just go back a few weeks, vector optics contacted me and asked if I'd like to review any of their gear. I'm well sorted for gear but the sentinel X was on my radar as I've been looking to get into a little bit of br shooting.

Now like most manufacturers they often give away a lot of stuff in the hope of favourable reviews but here's the rub... They will often insist that the channel does all the links to where to buy the item and all that sort of stuff.

I've zero interest in any of that, my channel isn't here for selling gear for other people,I barely even talk about my own work on there.
So I politely declined and to be fair to them they were very polite and not pushy like some brands are,so we left it at that. I've previously talked about how some brands are well sketchy...

Well shortly after I started playing with a club .22lr and decided to just go and buy a sentinel x. They were giving a free set of high dovetail rings with the scope at opw so grabbed one.

Anyhow I did a review of it 🤣 honestly it's my typical narky style,I was infact quite harsh about it...

Well I got another email from them a few days ago saying they'd watched the review and really liked it and was surprised how much detail I went too🙄
They asked if they could use it on their social media, I kinda just figured they might embed a link to the video on their website or something,so agreed they could share it.
I'm actually quite indifferent to it all really, I make the vids as it's fun. They were polite and friendly at all times and I quite enjoy chatting to various brands around the world

Well I've just sat down for a tea break and a vector vid flicked up on my yt home page...
It's my video with a fancy vector intro 🤣🤣🤣

I did a double take as the 9015 flashed up, it fully threw me for a moment..

This youtube thing is weird...🤣
 
Spot on 🙂👍

Tilly get it sent . thats your work mate 🙂👍
I mean it would be a nice top up of the toy fund...
I think in the future I probably need to be more specific if agreeing to share stuff.

I agreed to it mate, probably a little naive (spelling?) of me really.

Just thought it was quite funny really. I guess they owe me a favour now.I don't really need any stuff right now though

Maybe I'll see if they can get me a slab of qys🤣
 
I think I'll ask for some samples of their new adjustable scope mounts, I think the latest ones are the ones daystate are rebranding 🤔

They look fairly solid compared to some I've seen
 
MTC were rebranding Vector X-Accu mounts, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they ended up under the Daystate banner as well 😂
 
A better outcome than the " they stole my pics " we had when a now banned member had his pics lifted from the forum or some other platform .

A pity they did not credit you @Tillygti6 .
 
Its a Compliment in a way, but not very transparent of them.
I mean they did ask nicely if they could share it, I just assumed (assumption is the mother of all f-ups, is a mantra I live by usually 🤣)
That it would be a web link or something to the vid on my channel

I'm not upset about it atall, just something that I'll have to be more aware of in the future.

I'll see what sort of freebies I can get

I've always fancied a range of Tilly's branded scope rings... Hmm something to think about

May be you need to watermark your work so you get advertising out of it too Tilly . you've worked hard for what you have achieved mate.

Ah nice one,I'll have a look at the other things they do. Maybe something in there that I could use🤔

I'm so proud of what the channel has achieved so far mate, it's been a lot of work, stress and fun but I've learnt so much and built quite a community around the channel. I just wish I could devote a bit more time to it really but I've been so busy of late it's been really hard to get vids made

I know only to well what it takes mate . even the smallest job takes time to design and make . never mind the general every day life stuff and work .
 
do you have a .22 @Tillygti6 ?

I have some pellets here you could try but they are PCP only and FAC but you could try them at sub12 .

I have these but in not sure if they are .20 or my verynear is giving the wrong size. Not sure if they did them in .20 and the box has no label.

I only have .22 rifles . The ones above are not great out of my HW80 in FAC but may be better in a PCP even at sub12 .
