Year of the Airgun Hunter

Never before have there been so many U.S. states that allow deer hunting with an air gun. Never before has just one company introduced so many modern-day, innovative air rifles engineered for the hunter. Until now, there have never been so many air guns truly capable of harvesting an animal. 2022 is the Year of the Airgun Hunter.

Modern airgun hunting is met with the power and precision of innovative technology and in-the-field tested performance. Companies like Umarex USA, based in Arkansas, continue to innovate and introduce rifles powered by high-pressure air.

Rifles that are capable of hunting anything from Cape buffalo and whitetail deer to the common squirrel.

Whether you’re wanting to keep pests out of the garden or are out on a squirrel hunt, a smaller caliber air rifle is the ideal tool for the job. Hunting smaller game, such as squirrels, rabbits, or rats, doesn’t require the amout of energy a traditional firearm outputs. The Umarex Emerge is a multi-shot break barrel repeater perfect for small game hunting. Available in .177 and .22 caliber, the Emerge features an innovative, auto-indexing rotary magazine that houses 12 pellets. This elimnates the need to seat a pellet after each shot, allowing you to get more shots off in less time. Break barrel rifles are ready to shoot, no power source required. Just grab your Emerge and some pellets and you’re ready to hunt.

When dealing with bigger game, hunters need something that packs a bigger punch. Larger caliber pellets, such as .25 and .30 cal., are heavier and have a higher ft-lb energy output, making them great for taking down bobcats, coyotes, and small hogs. In 2022, Umarex has introduced two new air rifles perfect for mid size game, the Origin 25 and Gauntlet 30. These PCP powered repeaters were made with hunters in mind. And for those looking for something different, the Umarex AirJavelin arrow rifle is perfect for medium sized game as well.

With more states allowing big game hunting with air rifles, Umarex is at the forefront of this movement, with innovative and affordable high-performance products. Whether you’re hunting deer, hogs, or bison, Umarex has the air rifle you’re looking for. The new AirSaber Elite X2 takes arrow guns to a new level with its unique, double-barrel design. A first for Umarex, the Primal 20 fires 20 gauge slugs that output immense energy, providing the take-down power hunters expect from a 20 gauge. The Hammer .50 cal. has made waves in the hunting world, passing the toughest tests from trophy hunters around the world. This is air power like you’ve never seen it before.
