AirBows are here…

Crosman Pioneer Airbow

It was inevitable to shoot an arrow with a 3000 lb air blast ever since Lewis and Clark used a 45 cal Air Gun in their expedition. These air bows shoot an arrow at around 400 to 450 fps. What are they good for in hunting? Air Bows are not really bows at all they are rifles that shoot arrows instead of bullets. I like the innovation! In time you will see these used in urban areas where the deer and wild pigs are thick as ticks on a hound dog but … Today they are only legal in just a few southern states. Today they are a novelty and do not yet compete with the crossbow or compound. I predict that few states will allow them in archery season ever, but great for those with disabilities. They are very accurate because the air is jettisoned at the front of the arrow thus there is no “archers paradox” where the arrow bends.
