On the heels of its AirSaber, Umarex has announced another air archery product for 2020: the AirJavelin. Using 88-gm. CO2 cartridges and a patent-pending pre-charged vale system, the AirJavelin launches 170-gr. carbon arrows at over 300 fps, delivering over 34 ft.-lbs. of energy—enough to harvest almost any small game or predator in North America. Designed with a wide range of consumers in mind, the stock is adjustable to fit children and adults, while both sides of the stock are equipped with M-Lok slots for a sling or other accessories. For sighting, the AirJavelin boasts open sights, though a long Picatinny rail on top means a red-dot sight or scope can easily be added. Finally, a 2X12-gm. CO2 adapter, for shorter shooting sessions, is available for the 3.9-lb. arrow launcher. For more information, check out umarexusa.com.

The .404 Jeffery dates back to 1905 or 1906, and was supposedly created by W.J. Jeffery & Co. to replicate the performance of the .450/400 3” Nitro Express, but in a bolt-action magazine rifle. But the offspring of that cartridge—as well as those cartridges which were “highly inspired” by the .404 Jeffery—have gotten much more of the spotlight than the .404 ever did.
