 Welcome to the Pyramid Insider, I'm Tyler Patner and today we have what might be my new favorite deer hunting PCP air rifle, the Umarex Air Javelin Pro. The Air Javelin came out earlier this year in 2022 and really was an interesting take on the Air Javelin CO2 rifle that Umarex came out with a few years back. This is a PCP version, a little bit more powerful with some nice upgraded features here, but the price is very attractive for those of you looking to arrow sling. This is only $300 or thereabouts and it is a really, really fun gun and an effective hunting tool if you know what you're doing. Now let's dive into the details and take a closer look at the specs of the Air Javelin Pro. Now before we get to those details just have to do our normal YouTuber reminder. They are limiting the reach of our channel quite heavily so please if you like the videos, you like the content, don't forget to subscribe if you're not already. We know most of you are not. Like the video, share the video with your friends if you think they need a little bit of arrow air gun in their life and don't forget to comment down below. Let's continue the conversation there. Now of course the Air Javelin Pro as I said before is an arrow slinger. You are going to get three of these Umarex arrows. They're the same arrows that you use for the Air Javelin CO2 gun. These are more of a crossbow bolt length and of course you can screw off those tips. They're relatively lightweight. This is just a 170 grain arrow total with the tip. So not a ton of weight here. You're going to definitely want to add a broad head to this. Give yourself a little bit more punch. I would go with 100 grain unit but you can go with 50 or 75s if you can find them. You just load it right on to the end of the barrel. It does not snap or lock into place. So just be aware of that. You're not going to want to load this until you're in the stand or in the blind and ready to go. Could drop out on you if you're walking through the woods or something like that. So just make sure it's nice and secure before you're ready to take a shot. Now the frame of this gun is largely polymer. Nothing wrong with that. It's going to be nice and durable for you. But as you can see you've got a full length Picatinny rail that runs the top of the action at large. So you can mount anything you want on this. I've got a crossbow scope mounted on this here but you could put a red dot on it. You could accessorize this thing until your heart's content. And then even further they've given you M-Lock slots on both sides so you can further accessorize the gun as needed which is pretty cool. Dropping down below we do have our air cylinder. Now this is around 120 cc's and it fills to 4500 psi. Of course it's a pretty high fill pressure but they do rate this thing at about 25 shots per fill. So you certainly don't have to fill it that high. And here's the kicker. It's regulated. So you're going to get consistent performance out of this even if you don't have the ability to fill it all the way to 4500 which is awesome to see. Again for an inexpensive PCP gun this is a lot of features packed in. On the end of the air cylinder we have a quick disconnect fill fitting which is nice to see as well. Makes filling this thing a breeze. And then we do have our fill pressure gauge on the other side. You've got some nice color coding in there to tell you 4500 and then the regulated pressure is 1500 psi so it'll cut off that green right there. So again about 25 shots on a fill. We'll put it over the chronograph for you of course. And one other thing I should mention about the air cylinder. There is a degassing port right here so if you do need to let the air out for any reason you go ahead you give that a counter clockwise twist and you will vent all the air. Now moving back on the gun the rest of the action is actually quite simple. You have a bolt action system so once you have your arrow loaded you're going to go ahead and cock this back. Pulling it all the way back cocks it and then it returns forward like you see here. So it's cocked and ready to go. My only gripe with this system is that you don't quite know if it's cocked or not because this always sits forward like that. Not a problem just something you have to keep in your mind whether you've cocked the gun or not. The safety just down below here is a push button style safety so it's safe when it's popped out on the right hand side. You push it on through you get that red ring on the left hand side and you are hot and ready to go. Now the other cool thing about this this bolt handle just screws in it is ambidextrous so for you lefties out there if that's how you prefer to run the gun you simply swap it over to the other side you screw it in and you're good to go. Now dropping down to the trigger the trigger is not amazing I will be very honest with you guys and saying that it does have a fair bit of creep to it and it is certainly not the lightest thing in the world but once you get used to it it's certainly going to be hunting friendly. Very similar to a lot of crossbow triggers out there honestly they're not made to be precision triggers which for a shooter like myself is not the greatest thing in the world but you can make do with it as long as you put your time in and get your practice in with it. There's going to be a problem for you but it is unadjustable so you kind of have to live with it how it comes to you out of the box. Moving back you have a standard grip with some nice finger grooves there going to fit hands of all sizes shouldn't be a problem for any of you with bigger hands than I have or youth shooters as well should be just fine and then moving back further we have an AR style buttstock that's got you know full adjustment there. This is about 35 inches or so fully extended so a nice short package I think you're running somewhere in the 30-ish range right here with it fully closed so you've got a nice compact package that comes in at under five pounds this thing like I said for me I want to go deer hunting with this it's light easy to carry easy to maneuver this is going to give you a lot of versatility in the field and should be very effective assuming it's got the accuracy and lives up to the velocity claims so let's head out to the range and see how it performs. So stretching the air javelin out to 45 yards great accuracy these 170 grain bolts able to stack three of them into a sub one inch group at 45 yards it doesn't get better than that with an arrow shooter. Personally I'm a little hesitant to go hunting with these at 170 grains I want to throw a broad head on here and see what it does or some different broad heads to test but I don't really have anything right now that's kind of sized appropriately in that 50 to 75 grain range everything we have right now is 100 grains so when we do get some more appropriate stuff maybe we'll retest for you guys and show you that but now let's head over to the chronograph and see how many shots we're getting and what kind of speed this thing's putting out. From a full 4500 psi field down to the 1500 psi regulated pressure we are getting the 25 shots that Umarex claims the air javelin pro will do which is great to see a little bit of a larger extreme spread than I'd like to see out of a ragged gun but not a big deal especially for sub 30 yard interactions that this gun's going to be really great for from a hunting perspective. Now we didn't hit the 370 feet per second mark from a velocity standpoint but with an average velocity of 338 feet per second it is still good enough to hunt with an average energy of 43 foot pounds is certainly not bad I would expect to get a little bit more when you put a heavier broad head on the front of the arrow but of course your velocity is going to go down with that so something to be aware of you're going to need to test it but pretty good results overall and a lot of good relatively consistent shots out of this gun again something to be cognizant of 170 grain arrow you're going to want to add some weight to that to hunt anything larger than small or medium game with but overall pretty solid results out of the air javelin pro. Alright let's wrap up the air javelin pro like I said before this is a really intriguing option for me it's got a lot of nice features built in one I want to take hunting for medium and large game very very interesting offering from Umarex going with a PCP version of a relatively inexpensive arrow firing gun I'm not sure if there was a demand there but I got to say after I've used it I want one I'm taking this home with me I'm probably going to take it hunting this year and you should consider it for the same it's got plenty of accuracy right around one inch for all three shots at 45 yards out of an arrow firing gun that is great to see good solid regulated performance not quite the velocity they rate it for but just you know 15 20 feet per second off of that 370 number this thing's got plenty of power behind it to go hunting and that's really what this is all about you've got a light compact package that is going to be great in the woods and at the end of the day what more can you ask for for just 300 bucks my only real gripes with this again you can't really tell when it's cocked and the trigger isn't amazing it's actually quite a bit heavier than what I was expecting but usable you'll be able to get along with it if you put the time in and practice but outside of that the performance is stellar and this is definitely one you need to check out if you're into arrow firing air guns for the insider I'm Tyler Patner as always we'd appreciate it a ton if you subscribe to the channel if you're not already like and comment down below let us know what you thought of the air javelin pro and if you're going to pick up one for the woods this hunting season
