AIRBOW teaser: .22 pellet attachment for compound bows

Just a short intro to the AIRBOW before I damage it or myself beyond repair.
I think my kit comes from around 2015, and doing a bit of digging around shows the company posting a lot of, "BUY IT NAOW" in 2017 on their Facebook page, which is also littered with unanswered pleas from people on where to get them from, slowly turning into frustration and asking if they're still in business.
Either way, yay me, this should be fun or fatal, or whynotboth.jpg
Sorry for the awful framing of the video, my desk is literally a door on boxes.

Brilliant find!! You should share this Joerg Sprave on The Slingshot Channel! He's been mostly inventing and bringing to market self loading and repeating crossbows and regular compound bows. He'd love to see this and has a humungous following. He even started the You Tuber's Union. Here's a link to his channel.

Hah, that's a good idea that didn't even cross my mind! Even if he already knows it exists, can't hurt to reach out. Maybe I'll try make a video of me shooting it first, so it's at least in full frame. I tried using it today, and even if I was at a barn convention, I wouldn't have hit a single thing, really need a sight.

@@MyAirgunPhase There are a crazy amount of options for modern bow sights nowadays, ( I dabble in archery too, got 5 bows I think plus a bunch of crossbows) anything you can put on a gun you can now put on a bow! You'll find universal adapters on eBay, don't bother with any fancy brand stuff, just get some cheapish made in China stuff, it's all good for what you need (get aluminium not plastic) as even the cheapest of sights have decent glass now.

@@shovelchop81bikeralex52 Alrighty, good to know, thank you! I couldn't wait for ordering and delivery, so instead I designed and 3D printed a weaver adapter for the AIROW section. Now I'm reliably hitting the wrong place at least. It's throwing 14 grain pellets out at ~445fps, so just over 6f/lbs, not bad considering how much play there is in the connections.

@@MyAirgunPhase Cool! Not bad indeed! I'm sure you could replace or use Teflon on some seals or at least silicone oil/grease but here in the UK 6f/lbs is the max allowed for an air pistol, 12f/lbs for a rifle, no idea what this would be classified as though! I know the reverse of it, an air-bow is illegal over here.

Power and FPS ? Is it Effective ?

[@MyAirgunPhase]

You can watch the follow-up video where I discuss the power: ~6.1ft/lbs... but it depends how much you tighten up the string. As for effective? For what cause? For me doing 10m plinking at home? Sure! Beyond that, I don't know, sorry. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKKWZWlomtFrY6c

@@MyAirgunPhase Is It Effective For Hunting ?

[@MyAirgunPhase]

@@user-qx7nt4be4i Sorry, like I said, I only plink, I don't hunt at all, so I don't know. I don't imagine it would be, though. The bow is at a 70lb draw right now, and giving less than 10J or 8ft/lbs, so if you wanted to get much more energy, you'll be better off with an arrow.
