I wonder if this would be legal during bow season?

Looks like something antifa members would be proud to own.

Probably not legal at all. Its a firearm and even though the arrow would kill by cutting, it doesn't generate the listed muzzle velocity legislated for a bullet.

Big bore air gun's & Air bow's are legal during deer firearm's season. It may fly with DNR, it's just a hot air version.

Wonder how loud it would be?
385ft/sec is way below the speed of sound

Great stocking stuffer for that man that has everything

It is not an air gun, it is a firearm, just using 22 ammo. I sure it will kill a deer fine, but it is technically a firearm than propels an arrow. I would think illegal on a technicality until a revision is passed for it. I don't think it will make bow season as it doesn't have a string.

An Atlatl, will kill a deer better a traditional bow for a trained user, but it is not a legal weapon. Same with a spear.

This is old and i'm really surprised no one else has made one commercially. As a kid we use to use an old break action 410. remove the shot from a field load and put an arrow into the barrel, chamber a round and shoot it. deadly out to 50-60 yards...as long as the fletchings stayed attached

looks like it uses Ram-set loads---they come in .27 caliber

We did the same thing! This one is seems like an improvement on the concept, with an internal barrel that will guide the arrow more accurately. It will also minimize fletching contact with the outer barrel. It may be a novelty, but I think it's cool.

Traditions claims you have to get the blanks from them. I wonder where they fall in the Ramset power range. It would be neat to be able to use the Ramset loads and vary the power level.

Yeah probably not legal unless or until DNR makes an exemption for it. Likely it would fall under firearm or maybe muzzleloader categorization in the end.

For volume. DIIK, but I’d guess a little louder than a crossbow, but probably only barely.
