First Air gun Deer

So air guns are legal to use for hunting in GA? A lot of states haven't made it that far, including some pretty conservative ones.

Are they lumped in as primitive or bows?

Primitive Weapons​

Archery equipment, air bows, .30-cal. or larger air rifles and muzzleloaders or muzzeleloading shotguns are legal during primitive weapons season. Scopes are legal.
 
What’s the velocity on something like that? 147gn is 9mm weight
I haven't chrony'd it but estimates are approx. 800 FPS. Similar to a 38sp. That's why shot placement is crucial and I did wait at least 15 minutes after I hit him before I left the blind to check for blood. Both shots were pass through.
 
Interesting, thanks. Not too far off from 147gn subs.
Would be legal to have a permanent suppressor on it too, since it’s not legally a firearm. May have to look into one one these
 
What is the additional cost of an air cylinder and a re-fill of the cylinder? How about a box of projectiles? How many charges can you put into the rifle before the re-fill cylinder pressure is below 3000psi? Just trying to get an idea of the life-cycle cost of ownership would be. I like it

There appear to be some videos, but most of them are of animals being shot.

Doubles the price, out of my budget but they seemed to have tamed it to more backyard friendly.
I need to raise my price....:-)

 
How on earth did you manage to kill a deer without having AT LEAST the almighty deer killing power of a 30-06 or more??? Especially since I've been told so many times that anything weaker than that "Ain't worth fooling with!"

You mean shot placement actually trumped muzzle velocity and projectile weight???
