Pioneer Air Bows & Air Rifles

This is neat for a bow hunter but has drawbacks with the cost of the arrows.

Pioneer Airbow   -   $999.00​

*CROSMAN.COM EXCLUSIVE: Includes 6 bonus arrows for a total of 9 arrows!
The Pioneer Airbow from Benjamin is an all-new category of big game weapon featuring full length arrows and full weight broadheads, all driven by air. Based on Benjamin’s proven American-made PCP platform, the Pioneer can be cocked with two fingers (and decocked just as easily), fires 8 shots in the same amount of time it takes to fire three from a crossbow, all up to a blazing 450 FPS / 160 FPE. At 33.5" in length and just 2" wide, no crossbow can match the maneuverability of the Pioneer. The ambidextrous top cocking bolt can be easily operated with two fingers and is also used to de-cock the weapon, making it particularly easy to use in tree stands and ideal for archery enthusiasts who can no long draw a bow or pull a cocking rope. The superb shot placement capability of the Pioneer comes from the unique method of propelling the arrow. Arrows are pulled from the front rather than pushed from the rear as with crossbows, resulting in remarkably tighter shot groupings. No Archer’s Paradox, canting or other disturbances result in 2” groups at 50 yards. Included are three Airbow Arrows with nano ceramic Victory ICE™ coating for increased speed, greater penetration and easier retrieval. Benjamin Airbow arrows are 375 grain (includes 100gr field tip), hand-fletched helical vanes and feature a unique spine alignment for top level performance. The pressure gauge for the air reservoir is located at the front of reservoir. Included adaptor is inserted into the reservoir just behind the gauge, connected to your fill solution (tank or pump) and easily filled. The Pioneer features an integrated pressure regulator that ensures consistent velocities.

Airbow = yuk!

Not even close to archery.

Re: Pioneer Air Bows & Air Rifles

There was a story, that I cannot verify its veracity, of a Missouri family who used .410 shotguns to shoot arrows during bow season. They allegedly emptied out the shot and placed a nock-less arrow in the shell, inserted it into the break-action shotgun and killed deer that way.
The story goes that only the minor children hunted this way so there would be little or no penalty if caught.

The Crosman Airbow sounds similar. :thumb down:

Re: Pioneer Air Bows & Air Rifles

Got to shoot one of the Pioneer Airbow from Benjamin this past weekend at Cabelas, pretty neat setup. 

Benjamin makes an air rifle on the same concept in .375 cal. and .45 cal. that's legal to hunt with according to their Rep.  :hats off:

Re: Pioneer Air Bows & Air Rifles

These thing s might be neat but, I'll bet you have a hard time using them in an archery season. I live in Wisconsin and I know you better not get caught out in the woods with it.Most stated that I know of would not allow it.

These units are legal in several southern states as well as in several of the Midwest states, Colorado and Utah have them on the books of the DOW for approval next year according to Cabelas.

Re: Pioneer Air Bows & Air Rifles

well I will say one thing, how bad do you want to kill a deer? Do we not have enough better mouse traps now? The white tail  is smart ,but , come on.

Right like muzzleloading season was originally setup for traditional only weapons, now who has the most funds gets their product thrown into this season too .... :chatty pete:

Re: Pioneer Air Bows & Air Rifles

Bow hunters are still waiting to be able to use their cross bows. Shoot, they wont even allow us to use that devise that holds your bow pre-cocked and ready to go lol. They think cross bows can shoot longer ranges.

Re: Pioneer Air Bows & Air Rifles

Conner has the right idea here.All you have to do anymore is ----buy your way in.

I was the President of The Colorado State Muzzle Loading Association when in-line muzzle loaders became available.

  [url=http://www.csmla.net/]http://www.csmla.net/[/url] 

Our muzzle loading season stated traditional only PERIOD.

The DOW talked about a special season for the in-lines, costs were being gathered.
Then Strum Ruger entered in this new found area an throw a big piles of funds to get the two styles weapons in one season, it was called a donation. With in a few months anyone making in-lines or thinking about building them made donations. $$$$$  All about money as usual, the special hunting season went out the window.

This is what will happen with these air arrow shooting guns, more manufacturers will develop their models and join the party. Many started building air rifles after they saw how well Benjamin was doing with their line.  This has just started or could be lining up under the table (just not coming to light yet). Remember its all about bucks, our options don't matter. $$$$$

Re: Pioneer Air Bows & Air Rifles

Conner, I'm also a regular bowhunter for almost 50 years. I live and hunt  in Wisconsin. We have a very strong bowhunters asso. We fought the crossbows off for 5 years and money finally won out. I'll quarntee you anit no air bow gonna make it here.They been around a couple of years now. I could be wrong but, I don't think they have that much of a following. It was mentioned earlier about an arrow and a 410. I won't buy that , ever hear of a bore obstruction?

Re: Pioneer Air Bows & Air Rifles

These things aren't bows and they aren't guns. There's no historical record of them and they cost a lot.
I predict they will go the way of the Gyrojet rocket-powered ammo pistol of the '60s. The ammo was solid fuel attached to the base of the bullet. No cartridge cases.

Re: Pioneer Air Bows & Air Rifles

These things aren't bows and they aren't guns. There's no historical record of them and they cost a lot.
I predict they will go the way of the Gyrojet rocket-powered ammo pistol of the '60s. The ammo was solid fuel attached to the base of the bullet. No cartridge cases.

A few years ago in American Riflemen there was an editor note that the FBI was worried about this system getting into the wrong hands. The military has been playing with this type of system for several years, so much for reloading with no cases.

AIR RIFLES - TARGET SHOOTING
I have a competition Benjamin air rifle that uses this same system as the airbow. The rules state the rifle or pistol can't cost more than $500 so the guns have to be purchased through the NRA Marksmenship Program who get a deal on them then pass that onto the NRA member that shoots this coarse. Without their help the guns go over the rule of no more than $500. At the coarse distance of 33 feet with the standard sights you'll be amazed at the groups. A 18 year old girl on our team shoots 10 shot groups of one hole that measures .181 with using .177 pellets. Even at my age I'm amazed at my groups from .201 to .213 for a 10 shot group, that's not bragging that's how good these rifles fit and feel plus super clear sight pictures.

AIR RIFLES - HUNTING
Same setup as target rifle but it shoots either a .35, .45, .50 diameter bullet for hunting. Yes some of the states have made them legal already, like said its $$$$$.  This may be a new purchase to consider....

Napoleon had a standing rule about crossbows and air rifles, death to those that had them or carried them. He was afraid of those with such weapons.

I can't get excited about good groups at 11 yards distance (33').   :sleep:

World wide standards. :cheers:  This is like threading a needle after the first shot. :cyclops:

Re: Pioneer Air Bows & Air Rifles

Off hand --iron sights  most of us "shooters" would be hard pressed to stay in one hole. For that matter say a quarter size hole. say ten shots, I'll cut that to five.
