Gamo Arrow Reviews

The power and accuracy of this pcp out of the box

Add a second mag

None.

Delivery took a long time, gun is SUPER heavy, came without documents, had to buy separate expensive pump, was supposed to come with 2 .177 cartridges, but came with one damaged .22 cartridge.

Be careful before ordering.

all good , shoots close groups great air rifle

Light weight. Very quiet, back yard friendly, can be filled with a hand pump, but I’m old so I use my scuba tank or compressor.

Not sure if i would change anything but the arrow bolt is a little werid to get use to, but it’s what makes the rifle unique.

The first rifle I received had a bad air leak. Called Pyramdair and they sent me a return label I sent it back and in a week I received my new rifle! Awesome customer service!!!!! Just a suggestion, fill the rifle up and let it set for a few days to make sure it doesn’t have a slow leak, new rifle passed with flying colors.

Simplicity and solid built. Some call it an "Enter Level" PCP with more expensive rifles costing hundreds of dollar more! Backyard friendly, accurate and quiet! I plan to try in on pests and small game sometime in the future! GAMO! You hit a home run and Pyramid always has the best service people and price's!

Not to hot about the Arrowhead cocking pull, but can live with it!

Always wear your safety glasses and remember! These are not a toy!

This is to correct a one-star review I left a couple days ago. I incorrectly thought the magazine wasn't fitting the gun because it didn't snap all the way in and flush to the receiver, but it was designed to hang out about 3/4". The performance of this gun is stellar and the accuracy is astounding, given the reasonable price. Actually, it looks and performs like it should cost a lot more. When you read my last testimonial, I'll tell you how I cleared out my flue cap on my wood stove, which would have cost me the price of the gun, had I had it done professionally. So this gun has already paid for itself.

A better and more detailed instruction manual would be better for a gun of this quality. I had mine sighted in at the factory and they did a good job as this thing is capable of one-hole accuracy at around 25 yards and probably 1" groups at 50 yards. I intend to use this for predator suppression as varmints are threatening my chicken coop. I think that the .22 cal pellets are more than capable to do away with the possums, skunks and raccoons that are terrorizing my hens.

Here is a very unusual tale about how I used this rifle to correct a problem with my wood stove that had the potential to cost me a lot of money due to my 6" triple-walled stainless steel stove pipe clogging at the weather cap, which has a fire suppressing mesh installed to protect from sparks or embers igniting the brush and trees surrounding my house. Since the thing is 25' high due to being next to my 2nd floor, there was no way I was going to be able to get up there to clean out that screen. Since I just received my air rifle, I decided to try something........after verifying the accuracy of this gun, I braced it against my rose arbor on my deck and shot a ten round pattern of pellets into the side of the screen, watching with satisfaction as the creosote deposits flew off as grey particles and dust. I reloaded walked to the other side and repeated the exercise. When I lit my wood stove, it performed flawlessly when it previously smoked so bad that it was impossible to light.

Magazine won't fit

Make a magazine that fits

Looks like a nice air rifle, but I can't get the magazine to click in place. It just won't fit at all....

Very poor quality build, most of it is plastic. Plastic barrel shroud and receiver are plastic and molded together. The internals are mostly plastic: trigger, various parts in the receiver, etc It has under average accuracy, 1-1.5" at less than 30 yards. Past 30 yards i could rarely hit anything. When shooting, in about 1 shot out of 5 the cocking bolt/arrow will not be locked properly and a burst of air an nose will get in your face. The magazine has a rubber o'ring which broke after several hundred pellets. If you want something cheap and worth the money, buy one of the Beeman PCP offerings (Chief 2 plus, underlever, etc). They have a solid build, and are quite accurate (have a few of them). The only thing worse with the Beeman PCPs is their shot string, you get 30 good shots instead of 40 good shots with the Arrow. Gamo's first PCP (AKA Gamo Arrow) has the build quality of a Crosman/Daisy multipump but worse accuracy.

Not buying it

Lightweight, accurate, quiet,well built,cheap .

For this price nothing. How can you ask for anything more. Maybe extra mag.

I just received it today and had so much fun shooting it. I normally shoot 30cal rifles and had a bunch of .22 pellets that I wanted to get rid of. I have a .22 Marauder and Avenger which I have tune for certain pellets and this Gamo Arrow was to be used to get rid of the excess pellets. Wow, I wise surprise by its performance compared to my other rifles. The report is quieter than the Marauder which was tune it up a bit. Also build quality seems better than my Avenger. Accuracy is good with different pellets (1 inch groups at 30yds) possibly better with right pellet. On a full charge it seems to shoot 2 or 3 mags before losing accuracy but will need more testing to be sure. The trigger is comfortable and predictable and not overly heavy. It is hand pump friendly. I have guns that cost ten times more but I will adding this one to my collection.

After having this platform for a while I am doing a follow up review. I am shooting the pellets that I cast myself from the NOE 217-20 RF mold and have taken over 200 squirrel with this pellet , platform combination, accuracy is minute of squirrel at 40 yards all head shots. Prior to the cast pellets I was using the 14.3 grain Crosman shot over 100 squirrel with that combination, minute of squirrel accuracy at 40 yards , all head shots. The 20 grain cast pellets kill squirrel better than almost all the other pellets I have hunted with out of the arrow. I have all but retired my Disco in favor of the Arrow and the Avenger for longer ranges with the NOE cast slug 217-30 FN . The Arrow is a wonderful absolutely quiet hunting rifle. Simply love it.

Nothing.

Best moderate range hunting rifle for carry due to light weight and accuracy. Keep it under 40 yards and it's stellar. Best money one can spend for what it is.

Very nice and quiet and very accurate penny sides grouping with Excite spike pellet

Very quit and easy to reload

The bolt is a bit flimsy I feel like I was going to break it if I pulled a little too hard also a picatinny rail would be nice

Use heavier pellets on the .177 version for better accuracy

I really like the size weight and design of the stock. This .177 version is badass. I can shoot 1 inch group at 45 yards no problem with the 4.52 Baracuda pellets. some of my pellets are a little bent if they weren't maybe do better. i filled to the green line and shoot about 40 times and it's only 1/2 down the green section, notice no drop in accuracy at all after 40 shots. it's very back yard friendly and quiet which is very nice for a change. I like the trigger as well it is perfect weight in my opinion.

not sure what I would want to change at all. it does a great job for the price range. I wish it was easier to pump these PCP rifles up without buying a compressor... that's about it.

This is a shooter. i had problems hitting a 4" target at 95 yards in the wind, but i did hit it once in 8 shots. i shot all around it. I just purchased a simmons rifle scope 4-12 x 42 and it had the same dull color of paint on it and matches great. i am going to purchase some new pellets and see if they are in better shape and not so many bent ones. i think this is going to make a fantastic varmit gun.

Gun is very easy to handle,

Gun needs a scope and easier location to connect to air compressor

Design, open sights, Weight, accuracy.

The rail! Reeeeally Gamo?? 11mm? Gamo obviously has a closed door agreement with certain scope manufacturers. Smh Not everyone wants to use a weaver/picatinny adapter. Rail mounts on the stock would be great.

Once it's fully pumped up, returning it to full isn't so bad with a hand pump.

Looks good and feels solid like its a quality product. Very quiet

Add an adjustable hammer spring.

I got the .177 and it fairly accurate but if it wasn't shooting at 930 to 940 fps I think it would be more accurate. Needs an adjustable hammer spring to slow it down

Lightweight (5 lbs). Short & handy. I pump mine up with a hand pump. I pull the ferrule back and hold it that way with my finger. Then press firmly onto the foster connection and release. A slight tug confirms it is fully attached. I have to start with 4 loaded magazines, because it is just so fun to shoot! Adjusted the manual sights so that it is hitting dead center on the full Cola cans at 20 yards. Have not gotten around to putting a scope on it. When we see squirrels scampering around outside, my buddy and I just love to grab the Gamo Arrow, open the door, and start shooting pellets. Quiet and fun!

Should come with more than one magazine. Lol!

This is not a long range target tool. It is handy, light, and easy to carry with you when you go stalking the back pastures. At 20-40 yards, I am pleased with the power and accuracy.

I have only shot one magazine of pellets through it, but accuracy at 10 meters was exceptional. Early days, but I am very impressed with fit, finish, and function. Great Pyramyd Air customer service as usual.

Magazine was difficult for me to load holding magazine rotar against spring pressure while inserting pellets to correct depth. Maybe with experience it will get easier.

tI think "low to medium" loudness rating is wrong. Even with built in silencer This gun is very loud. I would guess it is twice as loud as my Diana Chaser which is rated "medium." I won't be shooting this one on my indoor "range" unless I am sure my neighbors are not home.

Affordable, compact enough, light enough, good amount of power and air usage, shots up to 5 magazines before hitting red level which is not suggested to go into red level so stays in the green, quiet enough for backyard plinking all day long, accurate straight out of box not even cleaning the barrel yet and it just loves shooting 18 to 23 grain slugs with pellet-base, pull-back cocking lever works flawlessly 'i love it', curves of the stock and LOP (length of pull) is perfect for me, trigger is typical Gamo hunter style almost like the Coyote, easy connect male fill port is good as I'm using Nomad II to fill all my pcp, i love the fact that Gamo using left side magazine loading port instead of right as others I'm right-handed & i think makes it easier to swap mag with left hand, the open sight is easily to use and adjustable but i'd add red dot or scope for longer distance.

Please add magazine holders into the synthetic stock and power level adjuster.

You need to have an electric high pressure PCP air pump, i.e. Air Venturi Nomad II, to add air faster and painlessly. Buy the extra magazines you won't regret it.

Awesome!!!!! I use my airguns as hunting tools , with that said here is my findings. When I first seen the weight advertised and claims of it being quiet , just had to try it . Sure with all mechanical devices their will be qwarks and as some have said non user friendly attributes . I SIMPLY LOVE IT , what's not to love. Having taken over 50 squirrels in the last 3 weeks with the gun , what is not to love. I placed a Centerpoint 4 x 16 on top , checking pellet preference , settling on my favorite best cheapest pellet the Crosman Premier 14.3 . 800+ shots later it will hold a 20 shot group under .50 at 40 yards , I like 10 or 20 shots in a group , this is a true reflection of what the machine is doing. Have yet to put a pellet over the chronograph but will say that 40 yards on squirrels is where it is at , having shot 2 at 62 steps the platform is running out of steam. SIMPLY love the gun going to buy one in .177 to try out with the Gamo G Hammers I am very curious.

NOT ONE THING. Gun is very capable of long distance if 150 fps + - were added to the platform , if I didn't already have others for long range squirrels I would purchase another in .22 ( not touching this one , no way ) work on transfer port , springs, hammer to get 900 fps out of CP'S for long range work.

Best thing since cotton candy , Hunting rig extraordinary.
