Gamo's "The Beast"

[Michael Bane]

m25 has more junk than I have...scary!

I have a Gamo Whisper, which I like. I prefer the "old style" pellets because the ultralights definitely crack, which sort of defeats the "whisper" thing. Otherwise, it's sweet!

Michael was talking about the PSE TAC BOW, and brings up a project that I have not started on yet, and that is take my Talon SS, and make a new barrel for it, the object is to make an air bow, to shoot full length 8mm hunting arrows. I would make the outer diameter of the barrel just under 8mm, then take an arrow with no nock installed, and slide it over the barrel. Someone made these based on AR15 lowers, years ago, and supposedly will launch a full size arrow and broadhead at 500 fps!!!! And that was with co2, co2 is about 1,000 psi, my talon is 3,000 psi.

You can see one of these used in the move HARD TARGET, with Jean Claude Van Damm

You could buy an Airrow Stealth that's made to shoot arrows instead of converting your Talon SS. http://www.swivelmachine.com/html/stealth.htm

The Beast is $100 more than the RWS I want, so that makes me want the RWS even more.
