Yep, that is interesting for sure. Never seen or heard of that.
Still not legal in most states, my guess is it will be in time.... in PA by about 2050

Technically its a Muzzleloader

I can only hope they don't allow those things in our archery season. We already allow crossguns.

Haha, I posted before without even looking to see if PA was legal and IT IS! Kinda surprised there, they are usually slow to allow anything.

More interesting....you can't use a scope on a ML in Washington state, but you can use this thing. ???



Chaded, I bet it won't be long. It ain't much different than a crossbow, just a different method of delivery. This is truly a crossGUN

Good old technology ... always coming up with new and better ways to kill something.

That is an interesting idea. I would guess other then a snap sound of expelled air the thing would be whisper quiet. It could have some real advantages with special circumstances where stealth is required.

On the Bowsite forums that I like to read, by far most folks hope its never allowed in our archery seasons. Most thought it would be a poachers dream tool since it was fairly quiet and could be tucked away in a truck pretty easily. It would be fun shooting rays down at the coast if you could hook a reel up to it.

That thing is not legal in PA! It is not a bow,it is an air rifle that shoots arrows, air rifles are not legal to hunt with in PA. If you got that info from the map you misread the map.

Yea, like in poaching! The company is pushing people to contact their Legislators asking to allow them during archery season, which I think is absolute BS just because the projectile happens to be a broadhead. This gizmo should in no way be considered a bow of any sort and the only time it should be allowed would be in an any weapon season. That would stifle the sale of them quickly for use in big game hunting.
