Condor Bolt Thrower…HOLY CRAP!!
😯
Finally had a chance to covert my condor over to a fully dedicated Tagdagger bolt thrower and man this thing is beyond belief.
I have shot all kinds of bows and crossbows and all I can say is UNFREAKENBELIEVABLE!!!!!
Conversion was a breeze thanks to the great instructions from TD and the valve wrench from Marmot_Miliitia (thanks again) I had to really whack the crap out of it to get it to break loose, but once it did the rest was a breeze.
The only difference in the feel is obviously that it is harder to cock with the heavier spring and the safety is kind of hard to disengage.
I should have listened to TD and just enjoyed this thing with my “condor valve” because when I sent that first arrow at the target I could not believe how fast that thing was moving. But having his valve spring and bored out retainer sitting their just starring at me…I had to put it in!
I can’t wait to crony these to see how fast they are moving. All I can say is that I shot it at 16 yards (big mistake) I could not see the arrow moving and when it hit my target it came out the back side (see photos below). I did not expect it to pass through the target…although I have never owned one of these arrow targtets..I thought it was dense enough to stop them….Boy was I wrong. I managed to get the arrow out with only damaging one vane.
After the first shot I heard my nosey neighbor mumble some words from the confines of their pool deck on the other side of my privacy fence, so I decided to go to the fron of my house where I could lesson the noise for them (it is about as loud as any unshrouded condor…) and add some distance. I put the target out thirty yards but this was not enough to keep the arrow from dissapearing inside the target again. This time it was around three inches less deep than the first shot so I was able to put a drill bit in the back of the shaft and gently ease it back out with a vice grip without damage.
I adapted the Crosman stock to this bolt rifle as I wanted to do something a little different. I think these Crosman Stocks look pretty good along with the Wokguard!
Tomorrow I will try it at 40 or 50 yards (so as not to loose arrows inside my target block 😈 )
All I can say is this is going to be FUN, FUN, FUN! Thanks again Tagdagger this is a great Mod for certain!
No time for accuracy testing, but I doubt mine will be any different than everyone eleses in that it will be best to shoot this off hand unless you want to spend tons of change on arrows 😆

Lookin good! That foregrip really sets her off 😀
Like I have said, this Airarcher is the ultimate Condor conversion.
It makes the Condor into the deadlist airgun available.
Joe, imagine that arrow at 400 FPS with a razor sharp broadhead cutting an inch diamator hole.
The accuracy and the speed of reloading are not matched by any crossbow, and the portabliltiy in the woods are not matched by any bow or crossbow.
And for those of you who can’t own a defensive firearm, three shots in twenty seconds that will pin a man to the wall with a thru and thru skull shot!
Yeah, Tagdagger for president!
Now all you need is to get the bolt conversion that Subsoinc makes to ease the cocking and the nervana of weapons systems shall decend upon you soul.
Okay maybe not, but you will love it,
Joe you have so many hours of fun ahead of you.

Holy crap is right! That is f-ing cool! I cannot wait to hear how fast they are moving.

Thanks TD. RC, I really need that bolt kit anyway as I don’t think mine will hold up much longer. I recently was playing with different cocking knob options and the hole—although not stripped—is close to it. I will contact him.
Yes, I cannot own firearms so prior to this my AAA .25 condor was my first line of defense…now this has become my go to weapon if the burglar alarm sounds off in the middle of the night.
