Umarex Air Javelin!!!!!

[WanstallsOnline]

I’ve been shooting my air javelin for two days now. It’s got a TRS-25 red dot and I’ve been shooting 2” groups at 25 meters. Lots of fun and it won’t blow through my archery bag like my crossbow.

88 gram CO2 is lasting about 40 shots before I have to adjust too much for drop. All the bolts seem to shoot to the same POI.

I would advise shooting one bolt, pulling it out, then shooting another, as this air bow is easy to Robin Hood with.

I chronographed after about 15 shots and I was getting 285fps.

I’ll check speed next time I change the CO2 - I should have done it on a fresh CO2.

It’d be good for squirrel and rabbit maybe.

I’m really enjoying this thing.

Excellent to hear some great feedback on this very cool product. Thanks!!

Just a heads up that we also have the Air Saber models on order!! Hopefully they will arrive sooner than later but no concrete ETA as of yet.

I the air saber going to require a PAL? - not that it matters.

Just checked and the saber won’t require a PAL.

Also, it’s PCP and I’m set up for that already.

Are these still available? I can't find them on your site. Only the arrows show up.

Correct, no PAL required.

We received a few packs of the arrows already:

C02 will be all but useless in cold weather.....typical obnoxious American.

Just stuff one of those dollar store hand warmer packs inside the handguard, gtg.

Some interesting findings having changed to a fresh CO2. I’m shooting in a controlled 19 degree Celsius environment and using a Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph.

First shot chronographed at 204fps!! That is way below the velocity I had got of 285, after 15 shots.

The speeds gradually increased to a high of 290, after about six shots.

I’m very familiar with airguns, shooting mostly airguns for the last 10 years.

I can only speculate that the velocity curve is due to an initially high operating pressure on a fresh CO2, possibly inducing valve lock. Then Again CO2 should be about 800psi at room temperature - so I’m not sure.

Anyways. For those that are small game hunting - it might be best to take a half dozen practice shots, and check your zero before relying on numbers In the upper 250 FPS range.

Edit to add: just got a high of 312fps. Then down to 294. It seems to stabilize at the top of the curve at 285ish.

I should mention that groups don’t seem to open up from lower-higher-lower power. Groups stay consistent. Highest speeds for my gun are after about 10 shots.

whats the effective range on these?

Hard to say. I only shoot paper and squirrels. I’d say 25-50m maybe. You need about 25 foot pounds of energy on a squirrel. I’ve never shot one with an arrow tho.

Wait till the turd and his ####stain Blair see this lol
