Umarex Air Javelin!!!!!

Why was the crossman airbow prohib and this one not?

Serious question. I want one, but wonder if the "opinion' of the constabulary will change in a week.

You're local archery shop could probably make em for you. It may be less than $20 per arrow. I don't know much about modern archery in-depth but seen some arrow/bolt making stations off competetive "archers". It's a kind of like reloading for shooters but different equipment and components.

Not legal in Ontario for big game, but you could use it on coyotes and small game.

Correct. And IMHO I think they should be allowed for all hunting that a bow is legal for... Perhaps folks should write the MNR and Minister of Natural Resources to politely plead the case... A change in the Regs is a VERY simple thing for the MNR to allow their use... Anyways, here's the email from the MNR on the matter:

Thank you for your email.

Airguns are considered firearms under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, but are not considered bows/crossbows.

Airguns may be used to hunt small game (other than wild turkey and bullfrog) in Ontario, provided they are not restricted or prohibited firearms under the federal Firearms Act. Only bows, muzzle-loading guns, shotguns or rifles may be used to hunt deer, moose and elk in Ontario. Airguns do not qualify as a shotgun, rifle or muzzle-loading gun.

Should the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) consider making future regulatory changes, such as changes to permissible firearms used for hunting, they would be subject to a public consultation process.

If you require further assistance, please contact the Natural Resources Information and Support Centre at the toll-free numbers below.

We are currently in our peak season. Call volumes are typically higher early in the week, particularly after the weekend. The best time to reach us is Monday-Friday at 8:30am EST. Callers may receive busy signals and disconnects because of the call volume.

Here's tootall's thread from the 2016 Shot Show https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/for...016-SHOT-Show-Crosman-Benjamin-Pioneer-Airbow

The RCMP classified the Benjamin Pioneer Airbow as prohibited because of its Bull-Pup stock. My assumption is the Pioneer Airbow can be operated without the stock & therefore making it less than the min OAL?

NICE to see the Umarex Air Javelin in country! :rockOn:

Unfortunately in the world of archery that is cheap for arrows. I would be okay with it being used for hunting outside of archery season, same as crossbows in Sask, you have to use them during muzzle loader season. From a conservation standpoint, I don't think they should be allowed during a regular archery season as the only thing it has in common with a bow is the arrow. Essentially an air rifle that shoots arrows.
 
I'm having troubles finding the disposable 88-gram CO2 cartridges or 2x12g CO2 adapter on your sight.
Do you have a listing for either?

For the PCP guys out there, it would also be nice to have compressed air bottle adapter.

Yeah this thing is dope. The need to have it out weighs the lack of need for it.
Where does one find the CO2 cartridges?

Cables has them in my area.

I do a lot of small game hunting with my kids, mostly with a .22 PCP rifle (nearly every weekend before COVID). This will make a nice change up for me an my kids.

PCP is unaffected by temperature. I echo what a previous poster said; this is a nice weather rifle and wont work well in the cold.
