Title: Anyone seen these? Shoot arrows from a 10/22
Post by: timberghost72 on March 11, 2011, 11:09:21 AM: I have never seen something like this. A buddy of mine told me about it this morning so I don't know too much but looks pretty cool. It is a barrel conversion for your Ruger 10/22 to shoot arrows out of it with .22 blanks. I can't believe that it can produce up to 435 fps muzzle velocity from a .22 blank. I wonder if this could be made legal for disabled hunters who have a hard time with a bow or crossbow? I would love to hear if anyone has some experience with these.

Post by: Bofire on March 11, 2011, 04:16:40 PM: I have seen it and done it with a .410 shot gun, using a shell with no shot just the powder charge. must be a skinny arrow to fit ina 22.

Post by: Buckmark on March 11, 2011, 04:49:33 PM: The arrow would be too short per archery equipment regs and too light per crossbow regs, added weight and they would get slower, the info is old as modern bows with longer arrows are over 300fps and crossbows are at 350fps.

It isn't a .22 barrel Carl. it is a larger diameter, big enough for fletching to fit in.

Post by: timberghost72 on March 13, 2011, 09:44:27 AM: Well my buddy just picked one up. Traded a pistol for it. I will get a report up soon on how it shoots. He lives in Olympia and I'm trying to find time to get down there. I'm interested in shooting it.
