We do like to shake things up a bit. Umarex is a leader in developing innovative air-powered products. The wind blows where it will and we are moving with it. This time with no strings attached.

Pre-Charged Pneumatic air power is capable of generating massive amounts of energy. Why not apply it to an arrow? We’ve done just that with our AirSaber. High power? Check. Accuracy? Yup. Great fit? Got it! High shot count? All over it. The Air Saber generates over 120 ft.-lbs. of energy at the arrow’s launch. For reference, traditional upright bows are in the 40-90 ft.-lbs. of energy range. The recipe to generate 124 ft.-lbs. of energy is launching a 350-grain arrow at a velocity 400 FPS. It hits hard. It also hits hard for more than two-dozen shots. The AirSaber is good for large game hunting delivering energy well within the acceptable range for large game for a full 25 shots.

Tuning in, Turning on, and Dropping Targets
The Umarex AirSaberEnough of that. What is it like to sling this ‘Saber? First off, it is really fun. If you can mount a rifle to your shoulder, you can mount the Umarex AirSaber. Not everyone is comfortable or even able to draw back a traditional upright bow. Whether you are hunting or not, accurately launching an arrow over 400 FPS is just thrilling. A serious blast of air is required to launch the AirSaber’s arrow so, yes, it does make some noise but don’t worry, you won’t need hearing protection to shoot this air archery device. 

Why Shoot the AirSaber?
Back at the range, one answer to this question became very obvious with each pull of the trigger. The Air Saber delivers a huge dump of power with each shot. We had several high-density foam targets set up at about 25 yards. Provided you hit very low, like almost in the dirt low, the targets would remain upright. A hit anywhere near the midline of the target it would roll it. Hit it high and it would roll a couple of times. 124 ft.-lbs. of energy is quite a substantial delivery to a target. 

Who Is The Umarex AirSaber For?
PCP airgunning is growing at a very quick pace. With the growth of PCP air rifles comes the proliferation of high-pressure air filling devices. Like prices for PCP airguns, HPA pumps and high-pressure air compressors have also become much more affordable. 

An Air Bow That Has It All
The AirSaber looks very much like a conventional PCP air rifle. The stock is perfectly sized all around for a comfortable fit for many various body types and sizes. Three sections of Picatinny rail are mounted on the extreme forward end of the stock. These will come in very handy as you will certainly need a place to mount a quiver.

Since this does require high-pressure air to fill the tank it comes with the proper fill probe to top off the tank. This probe has the common 1/8” Foster quick release on the tube end for easy adaptation to pumps or tanks. Clever eyed folks will be quick to see a semblance to the Walther G22 .22 caliber bullpup rifle from the trigger guard on the back.
