Overview
Not a conventional crossbow, the Benjamin Airbow is a compressed air arrow launcher on a proven PCP platform, built in a compact bull-pup body. It is ambidextrous, with a top cocking bolt that also de-cocks the weapon.
Pulling arrows from the front rather than pushing from the rear is meant to tighten groups, and a compact body helps in tree stands.
Who it's for
Hunters in tree stands who want a short, maneuverable launcher and who can handle compressed air filling are the audience. Buyers without a fill solution, or anyone who prefers a mechanical crossbow, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Compact bull-pup length
- Ambidextrous cocking bolt
- Scope included per description
- Integrated pressure regulator
- Pump or tank not included
- Included items inconsistent in listing
- Heavy for a compact launcher
Performance notes
Compressed air drives arrows from the front, and the integrated regulator holds velocity steady between shots. The bull-pup layout puts the action behind the grip, shortening the overall length. Air fills must be managed with a tank or pump, and the gauge on the reservoir shows pressure.
