2016 SHOT Show: Crosman Benjamin Pioneer Airbow

[ceriksson]

I take it you load it by sliding the arrow up the rear? That way it doesn't bugger up the fletching.

Apparently not actually. Found this video

Wow. Can we Hunt big game here with it? Will it be considered in the bow classification or air gun?

[fenceline]

How long until some one puts an arrow through there head looking at the air gauge on the front of the cylinder? Any bets?

[H Wally]

I can see the RCMP disliking this and prohibiting it, but I like it in design. The air gauge being somewhere other than at the muzzle would be nice.

And how pray tell would they do that?

Full auto? Nope

Converted from full auto? Nope

Variant of a prohibited firearm? Nope

Easily made full auto? Nope

Bullpup stock? Nope, integrated into the design.

Shoots under 500 fps... not regulated by the Firearms Act, so prohibited doesn't come into play.

I'd be curious to see where you'd be blowing into it for it to fire.

[Scruffie]

One of those will go very nicely with my collection Mr. D. Gotta little extra room in your suitcase? Know your having a great time, but try not to Drool too much on all the exhibitors cool looking hardware.

Interesting... Should be interesting to see what provinces will allow it for hunting, if they allow it, and during what seasons it can be used.

It would be legal in the BC general season. Not legal in bow season.
