Page 3 of 4 - Gamo Arrow Reviews

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.
