Interesting Digger but it still falls under the definition of a firearm.

Shucks Digger, my Max shoots that fast and was slightly cheaper

I've seen the add before, and logged it in my mind as definately a "poacher's" tool. A lot of rifle killed deer get tagged with an arrow stuck through them after they're dead in archery season (at least here in southern Ohio), and this thing would just allow the poacher to use an arrow instead of a bullet. I doubt if it will ever be popular, though. A poacher tends to want things to be easy, you'd still have to track the deer, and tracking is a lot of work!

"Many of these rifles are used in areas where deer are heavily over populated to the point that they cause damage to landscape shrubbery,"

How many? I can't believe anyone would buy this thing.

Nothing I've read so far makes me want one.....yet. I just hope our do-gooder Fascists in Ottawa don't start talking about out lawing or requiring registration of these devices.

The reason I bought an air pistol was because there was talk of tightening access to them. I bought a cross bow for the same darned reason. I'm tired of buying stuff just to thwart our stupid politicians, even though I do enjoy my Excalibur.

It's a waste of a good Ruger 10/22.

Nothing new about arrow guns..

Don't slam me guys i see yet another problem. These are COP KILLERS! A rezor sharp broad head and these velocities, thier vest will never stop that arrow. And also will give use archers a bad name.
