An AIRbow?

Anybody else see this.. "Jim Shockey Takes Down Buffalo With Airbow!"

450FPS is smoking fast. Wonder how far out they have grouped arrows?

Holy crap! At least in MT it wouldn't be allowed during archery-only season. Looks fun for rifle season though.

Archery is losing out to those continuely looking for a short cut

Thank god it won't be allowed in nv archery seasons. That's not even archery

 

[realunlucky]

That was once said of compounds then cross bows now this arrow gun. Everyone wants a piece of archery season that's for sure

Never would even consider this should be used during archery season. Per the MT 2015 regs, the following is not considered a hunting bow or legal archery equipment:

Any device with a gun-type stock or
incorporating any device or mechanism that holds the bowstring at partial or full draw without the shooter’s muscle power.

Seeing as in MT you can't have lights on your sight, Luminocks or a Go Pro attached to your bow, this would never make it as legal archery equipment.

Crossbow is a disease over taking obstacles and merging into archery seasons across the east/mid west they are spending millions on lobbing. Airrow gun just needs some TV sponsors and they'll be right on the heels of cross guns in a state near you soon

Personally, I would never use one for the same reasons I don't use a crossbow, but most people are always looking for the easy way, no tuning, no practice, no work involved, just point and shoot.

I have seen youtube vids of 200 yard crossbow shots and one guy shooting over 300 yards. Rifle distance shots.

Looks like a PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) air rifle to me.

I guess the arrow makes it a "bow".

 

[airlocksniffer]

Reminds me of a harpoon gun.

What a joke. Shame on Shockey for even involving himself with that contraption.

Cool toy. Great for zombies. Not for hunting.

Funny the Archers in the early 70's said the same thing about Compound bows. It will happen. Personally I dont see an issue with it. That thing is plenty powerful enough to take any game as seen in the video. You still have to get relatively close . It will get resisted just as crossbows have for years but then it will become a new norm just like compound bows in the 70s and 80s. Look at us now. Many States have already passed crossbows during Archery season.
Eventually the Crossbow will be become part of archery season and this will become to new Taboo. Its pretty impressive really. I love innovation its part of what makes humans an interesting bunch =-)

Nothing archery about the Airrow gun. I agree I would kill a zombie with it if I could ever draw a tag

All kidding aside do you feel there is line somewhere

This thing is only limited by tank size and bolt wieght.
