Page 2 - Beeman Silver Arrow, .22 Reviews

I bought them for what I thought would be a weight advantage over CPs in shooting at distance from an AF Condor. They appeared to be of good quality and I assume these do well in other airguns.

I have no clue what design quirk causes them to veer around like a drunk driver at subsonic power levels that CP's love. They very nearly gaslighted me into believing I sucked worse than I actually do. That is until I switched back to tried and true CP's and EJ's and voila! Like magic, I could hit what I wanted to again.

Won't be buying these apparently broken "arrows" again.
Your mileage may vary of course...Your particular gun may love these things.

the shape, the extra sealing of the rings helps get every last fps out of my Beeman RS2, which it needs to propel a heavy pellet like this.

the tin... come on, this is a "premium" pellet, from a top manufacturer.... isnt it about time they find a way to make tins that stay closed? the Egyptians could build the pyramids but Beeman cant use threaded lids? the option to buy in larger quantities.... some of us like these things and would like to see tins of 500 or more.

once sighted in and if i keep within 25 yards, this pellet had devastating impact and penetration, while not being the most accurate pellet in my particular gun, its good enough for short-ish range hunting which in my area is mostly what i do (under 30 yards).

They hit really hard and are great at short range.

At about 50 yards,they begin to curve off course in my RWS Diana 350 Magnum,as where the Beeman Kodiak Extra Heavy pellets fly straight right to the targets at 150 yards.And they are a little loose fitting compared to the Kodiaks.

They may be better suited for slightly lowered power pellet guns,maybe a 600 fps .22,or a pnumatic gun or co2 gun,I think at 1000fps or so they don't shoot right.

This shoots the truest of all the .22 I have tried ( Diablo Boxer, Crow-Magnum, and Predator). With the Silver Arrow and the Predator, I can keep the shots <.25" at 30 yards. But only the Silver Arrow has killing power at that range or further for squirrels and rabbits. I use a 900fpm underlever spring with a 3-12x40 BSA scope.

Nothing

nothing

the size and weight distribution

this pellet looks NOTHING like it does in the picture, its more like a squished version, so squished that it looks like a cylinder. it being so stubby causes instability during flight. buy the crow magnums.

Heavy, and the point should really be a strong penetrator.

Make these fit the bore more snuggly, and do something to make them more stable in flight.

I know others will probably get different results, but these are the only pellets so far in my CFX .22 that perform so poorly - >5" five shot groups at 25 yards.

the arrow is heavier than its cousin the beeman ace,however once you adjust windage n elevation it performs well. again it hugs the barrel of the gun and flies true, Ive only tested it to 25 yards with less than 1/2 " groups at that range

none

My gun is a BAM 26 rifle and the fps is slow around 650,make sure you try this pellet with a higher power rifle that would average 750 fps i think youll be glad you give this pellet a shot
