Was watching the Pursuit Channel the other day. There was a guy on there with an air rifle that could shoot a arrow at around 400 fps. He shot some wild pigs with it. The arrows when clean through most of those pigs.
I wonder if that would be legal during bow season? A cross bow is. But, this is an air rifle; a little different.

Best place to inquire is your states DNR, they're the ones that would write the tickets.

Anybody know what air rifle I'm referring to? I don't remember what it was called. They made two versions. One spit out an arrow at about 200 fps. The other around 400 fps.

Most are a bit spendy for an air rifle. Neat thing however.

varies state to state

I believe the answer is NO in WI

several of the cross bows are getting very close to 400fps and can be used in a lot of states like WI

mission has one that is saying 385fps and yes the bolt goes right through and out the other side , that can happen even on compound bows a hole clear through and nothing to plug it up is desired


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I believe it's Mission that makes a 500 fps crossbow. The advertisement on their site says "meet your next rifle."

I think we can here? Is that what this is talking about?

During any open season on deer with primitive weapons after November 30, a person may use any legal weapon of choice, including pre-charged pneumatic weapons (air guns or bows), on private lands only

If you go to the web site that Crager listed scroll down, and you can get a state by state list of what animals can be hunted by that weapon.

Air guns and bows are legal this year in indiana durring the firearms season this year in Indiana. I dont know more becuse I have not looked into it. Arrow guns i have seen look impressave. Watched a promo of a guy shooting a large canadian whitetail at 55 yards and the arrow will never be found. I dont think it slowed down in the deer. It was shooting around 450fps i think with heavier arrow than my bow shoots.

Arrow gun will have better prefirmance than 45 and 50 cal air guns im sure.
