Have you seen the "Airbow"?

[across the river]

It's an air rifle that shoots a realy long pellet. Nothing bow about it.

Well based on the definition of a bow from Oxford, it technically is.

a weapon for shooting arrows, typically made of a curved piece of wood whose ends are joined by a taut string.

Oxford is a brand of dictionary, like Merriam Webster, Collins, etc.... It doesn't appear any of them are being used around there.

Just saw this thread pop back up. Being a guy that builds stuff, i built two airbows a while back just out of curiosity. Gave one to my brother. Another episode of " what guys build when they get bored in middle of winter".Never used it for hunting, but a hoot to shoot. I took it up camping one year and the boys in camp were liking it. When get a chance I'll show you the video of my version airbow.

Here's the video of the pair of Airbows that I made a few years back.

Thanks. It is fun. Pretty good punch out to a out 30 yds. Would kill a deer at that range.
