Pneumatic mayhem

Well, it just so happens that white tail deer archery season is now open in Wisconsin. And with this season come the old wives' tales of the inbred hillbilly emptying the shot from a 20 gauge shotgun shell and firing an arrow in its stead. Well, after pondering this story I decided that a pneumatic arrow launcher would be the way to go.

should get a foot pump then you dont need a battery

Wow.

 

 

How powerful do you think it is? Better than a plain old bow?

 

Id say twice as powerful as a longbow wielded by a samurai.

Lets see the arrows your using.

 

Seeing as I'm not the hillbilly from my original post, I'll be "borrowing" them ftom a friend. I'll be sure to update with the results tomorrow.

Cool. It looks like a pulse jet. What pressure do you use and have you used any disposable wading to help it seal.

To hell with the apple, I'm going to stick an arrow through a BMW's door.

Hey, that was pretty impressive, seeing as that was a one dollar, blunt tipped, youth arrow.

This was your qasi partner in crime, Keith. Very nice job on the Ranger, wanna try a nice heavy weight easton arrow with a heavy grain field tip?

 

Achtung! I may be the "hillbilly" jg refered to but I resent accusations of possessing tainted genetic stock!
