Glen Ekstrom of Swivel machine works has US and Euro patents on the arrow gun. The US patent expired in 2009. Not sure about the Euro patent. could be the same 20year period as US patents? or could still be in effect over there?
RS is right. Elkstrom was and always will be the 1st. Very cool invention. I still shoot mine several times a week 😀
nope Lemak was a Johnny come lately
oldest actual Arrow shooting gas gun was the Airrow by Swivel Machine which goes back quite a few years and is still somewhat in production as the Airrow Stealth
Here is the earlier A6 which was back in the 90s and ran off CO2
This is the current Airrow Stealth
the earliest Airrows used a cam style trigger and date from the late 80s
as I noted Lemak got into this pretty late but agree he likely had the first kit
FX’s new toy is hardly at all original…Arrow shooting airguns are easily at least over two decades old in the modern era…
