FX Wait... What? The FX King .35 call 500mm CAN SHOOT ARROWS TOO?


The FX King .35 cal 500mm barrel kit with GRS Stock is the triple crown winner - THE TRIPLE THREAT! This video documents one of my major projects I was working on all through 2023 when I realized that arrows could potentially be shot out of an FX Dynamic / King. But could the platform be easily tuned to shoot all 3 projectiles easily?

Back in the early summer of last year, I set out to find out. Join me on this journey of testing and discovery!

Gear used:
Element Optics HYPR-7 Scope: https://utahairguns.com/product/eleme...
Air Venturi Air Bolts: https://www.pyramydair.com/product/ai...
DonnyFL Yokozuna: https://utahairguns.com/product-categ...
Orion Magazines: https://donnyfl.com/products/orion-fx...

During my testing, I also found a unique way to use the Element Optics HYPR-7 scope. When I was doing the velocity testing and getting over 500 FPS with 375 grain arrows with the FX Dynamic and Tungsten Hammer I discovered the FX True Ballistics Chronograph will calculate the BC of an ARROW! Even though the drag model isn't perfected for an arrow vs. a bullet or slug, the BC it was calculating of around .06 allowed me to use the Element Optics Ballistic App to create a custom profile and a crossbow-style reticle in the HYPR-7 and was drilling golf ball sized targets out to 70 yards! The FX King has a bit of a bark to it so I also set out to test the new Donny FL Yokozuna in .35 cal. It went from .410 shotgun loud to .22 suppressed sound! If you are looking to quite down your FX Dynamic or King, the DonnyFL Yokozuna is the perfect fit. Thanks for joining me on this journey of testing! Any questions or comments...

Wow this is amazing!

One thing I don't remember is if the arrows you ended up using are specific ones or any arrow will do it?

My buddy Steve and were trying to create a fishing rig with arrows and this might be a great solution!
The Air Venturi .35 cal bolts work perfectly with Zero modification needed to shoot from an FX STX liner in 500mm barrel kits. Any Dynamic block can push them the fastest and with a Tungsten hammer we got them above 520 FPS! That would be overkill for a fishing kit as you need to get those down around 200 FPS. You can just down tune the FX Dynamic though to get them to that velocity. Going over 200 FPS results in stuck arrows in the bottom of lakes and rivers. Ask my how I know. LOL!
