10-22 Arrow Rifle Part 2


Arrow Loaded


Broadhead shield installed on the outer shroud.

I bought a box of each power level industrial blank to see how they would shoot.


Velocity testing the different industrial blanks,

Velocity ranged from a low of not pushing the arrow off the barrel (Brown level) to over 300 fps with the max power blanks from Swivel Machine.

Top loads were very powerful.
About one in three would shoot clear through the back stop that readily stops my crossbow bolts
We usually found them within 30 feet of the target.


Three shot group at 50 yards.
Only one arrow is visible on this side.
I had to pull the arrows completely through the backstop.

Overall, this kit performs as advertized.
I like it so much that I bought another 10-22 and made up a permanent arrow shooting rifle.

So, is it archery?
Of course not. Anything that has a trigger release is not archery.

Is it practical?
Nope.

Is it fun?
Yep!
