That’s the minimum ftlbs for the new Texas Ag hunting law. My only big bore is a Shin Sung 9mm . That’s also the minimum bore . Is 215ft lbs possible? They legalized air propelled arrows so I could use those instead probably.
215 ftlbs with a 9mm ag

The minimum caliber is actually .30. A Shin Sung .35 could be souped-up to 215+ FP, especially with slugs, but probably won't get there in stock form.

You are correct although 30 at 150gr 800 FPS or 215ftlbs seems crazy to me but I bet the law enforcement wouldn’t even know either way My Shin Sung is Will Piat tuned, shoots 77g jsbs at 900fps but that falls short . Guess I’ll try the arrows and maybe invest in a 45 Texan or something close eventually

Pepper if they think your airgun is underpowered after you explain that it was worked on I am sure they will use a chronygraph to confirm your story. Or just keep one in your truck when you go out hunting. I think they will be looking for the easy law breakers like smaller calibers.

I think the gun has to be capable of the same performance qualifications even if you shoot air bolts.
