Arrows in Big Bore Monsters

I think the barrel length of the quackenbush will be to long to get the arrows to make much power out of . Not that the guns are on the same playing field but the Texan 357 was week with arrows until the barrel was shortened to 24” or so . 

A fiend of mine here in Kansas City is using his 909 for shooting arrows now and it awesome accurate you can't go wrong with it steveoh.

I've played a little. For .25 use the skinny VPAs. Grind a knock down, slip an oring over it, then press it into the shaft. Leave a slight oring gap, so don't press the knock in all the way. You'll want to use viton orings so they last and lube them. The oring goes perfectly with the twist rate.

I started there and got sidetracked on other things. They work but need more drag on the rear for more stability. Maybe a custom nylon or delron knock with more orings or a type of fletching. 

The outserts center themselves in the end of the barrel when inserted all the way.

I was also using a crap .25 P15 barrel and had them going about 250fps if I remember correctly. Using a very light field point. 

Good luck and keep us posted!

I've got a 909s and a 70-45. The 909s at 300fpe put a field (dull) point barely poking out the back of my archery bag at 15 yards. Crossbow goes about 10inches in and stops. This one got tangled on the plastic liner inside and was a complete pita to remove it. 

I tried a broadhead on a foam broadhead cube, with the 70-45 at around 200fpe. It went through the foam cube and into the fence post behind it, and knocked a chunk out of that. This was easier to remove, as the broadhead was all the way through and I could unscrew it and then pull the arrow back out.

I want to shoot them more, I don't often get to a range where the noise is tolerated but man, even at low and mid powered .45s, they are BEASTS. Lots of fun either way!

I’m I the middle of setting up my old Dragon Slayer (which I love dearly) to shoot bolts. Been delayed for my finial test. Hope to test tomorrow. Will crony and post results as soon as I’m done.

Here are the results shooting air bolts out of a Career Dragon Slayer.

Hey SteveOh, wow you have quite a collection, please keep us up to date of your airgun arrow findings? 

I have a Bulldog so the Air Venturi .357 arrows are on my bucket list of purchases along with a set of Innerloc Shape Shifter 3 Blade 100 gr. 3 pk broadheads. I watched a YT vid where they tested these arrows and they fly exactly the same as a field tip. The broadheads come encased in a durable plastic housing that shatters on impact with the target allowing the broadhead to do its damage. Airgun Depot did an air venturi arrow test on a collection of air rifles and I think that the Bulldog ended up being somewhere around 385 fps, although in a review for the arrows I think that it was on Amazon, someone had purchase the AV arrows and while testing one of the o-rings had come off and they were getting a better velocity. 

Unfortunately I can't use the Bulldog with arrows here in southern Cali but I may plan a trip to Arizona for a mule deer in the future.
