Gamo Swarm Magnum 10x Gen3i Chronograph Test
มุมมอง 32Kปีที่แล้ว
Running some pellets over the chrono with the Gamo Magnum. Local elevation is 4000 feet above sea level, so velocities will be a bit slower than what is expected at lower elevations. I was getting quite a few "error" readings on the chrono, but managed to get some useful data.

Subscribed for a fellow lefty trad guy! Thanks for the video! It was exactly what I was looking for. I shoot a 40lb recurve with a 550 grain arrow. Wanted to get an idea of what speed/KE it was generating. Thanks again!
Glad you found the vid helpful. I need to get the cameras rolling again. Thanks for watching!
Had a Gamo magnum for a week and loved it! Unfortunately took a nasty fall on a gravel road while carrying it and it didn't shoot the same after that.
Well that sucks. Thanks for watching!
good job🤠
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the vid! A 40# bow seems like a very good place for me. I can manage the draw back to 32", and it delivers very good performance.
@@shanepitzer4126 I think its closer to 50lb for you with a 40 lb bow
@@HyperManArchery I think so too.
@@shanepitzer4126 it would be nice and smooth to shoot a 66 inch longbow or 68 for you
@@HyperManArchery Yeah, I don't have anything 68", but I do have a 66" and a 70". It's funny though, the 66" is the Bearpaw Blackfoot in this vid. Although it is 66", the working limbs are not all that long, so It's fairly fast, but I tend to feel it starting to stack as I'm reaching full draw. The 70" is a 45# Galaxy Black Ridge, from Lancaster Archery. It's a budget longbow, but very enjoyable to shoot.
The steel shooting convinced me to get one. Thanks!
You bet, thanks for watching!
1600fps is faster than some 45-70 loads. 768fps is slower than some 39 special loads. What a lie for velocity ratings
I think the 1600 fps is for the .177 cal, and alloy pellets. Still seems optimistic.
I just chrono'd mine and I was getting around 830 fps with the 18.13 Exact Jumbo at sea level. It's advertised as 45 jouls or 33.2 FPE so it should be putting out a little over 900 fps with those pelllets which is curious. Still a great gun but I'm a little disappointed in the false advertising. Thanks for conforming that It's probably what I should expect and not a dud.
The advertised velocity is obviously fluffed up a fair amount. 830 fps with the 18.13gr is still a lot of power, I'd love it if I could get that speed here.
@@shanepitzer4126 Oh yes it does what it needs to do. I'm not complaining.
WERE YA BEEN?
Hey Bo, I'm still here! Somehow I kind of fell off the production wagon. I need to get those cameras rolling again. Just recently we had a close call with wildfire (Horse Gulch Fire) we were under evac order, but remained in place anyways. They got the fire stopped about a mile away, but it sure felt close. We were ready to unbuckle and get out of here if we felt it was truly necessary.
I've been watching most of your recent vids. It's good to see you are getting around, and teaching the gals to shoot the bow!
@@shanepitzer4126 Yeah, we're getting some of the smoke in Kansas.
@@shanepitzer4126 I was in a fire in Montana and same scenario.They came through the neighborhood blast in their air horns.Get out, get out.Get out, get out.I stayed there and recorded the whole thing.

Thanks for posting this. Beautiful bow. I like your style (we have a few of the same bows) 🙂
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the vid. I need to get the cameras rolling again.
I was checking out some of your vids and realized I had watched a few of them already, a while back. Nice vids, and bows. Subscribed to your channel.
Watching archery videos like this is Zen for me. Awesome presentation, review, and the landscape in front of you is stunning. I am using Samick R3s in 55lbs on a Topoint Slither 17" riser and it is the best hunting and defense setup all around. Point of aim at 20 yards with the holographic reticle I have on the ATA mount with a rail adaptor.
The archery is almost meditative to me sometimes. Really get focused and relaxed in it. Glad you enjoyed the vid, thanks for watching!
Like that B mod target . should have challenged yourself and fire down range on some dog targets .lol BUT Excellent grouping. no Maggies. Just ordered mine. They dont have many ranges outhere in So Cal. so gotta keep my Skill set up with this. If i was under pulling targets down the goups would have been so close id sent it back up with just one peg with a cardboard circle. ( Only MArines will understand being on that side of the target AKA the dug out.) .semper fi!
These air rifles are a lot of fun. I got into them a couple years back when regular ammo was so expensive and in limited supply. Semper Fi!
Hi from CostaRica question: What's the scope brand?....thank you for the help, blessing
The scope is a Gamo brand, 3-9x40. It's the scope that comes with the air rifle. Thanks for watching!
Fun fact: This bullet can penetrate soft body armor
Why is the bow wiggling back and forth in your hands at full draw??
Human error.
Unfortunately, this is far lower than the advertised speed. Wish this wasn't the case.
Advertised velocity will be the lightest alloy pellet, near sea level, hot day, shooting downhill (grin). They say it's best to have a muzzle velocity below supersonic anyway, because the transition to subsonic velocity can mess with accuracy. I've heard a lot of air gunners with more knowledge than me suggest that around 890 fps is a great place to be. Thanks for watching!
Mine shoots like yours does, I am very impressed with this gun. I am even comfortable with hail mary shots from 100 yards at yard vermin. I actually got some hits from that distance. DOA hits at that with gamo red fire pellets.
Nice!
That was an interesting comparison-against a GORGEOUS backdrop. Thank you. One question, though: Which limbs did you have on the Discovery? As I'm sure you know, Samick itself offers several different configurations that fit this ILF recurve, as do other limb makers. Foam core and carbon would PROBABLY be faster than, say, maple and fiberglass, which is essentially what the Galaxy has, albeit in a one-piece bow instead of a takedown.
labtrainer, the limbs on the Discovery are the Samick Discovery R-3 carbon/foam core limbs. They are the Long size, making a 62" AMO on the 17" riser. We're blessed with nice scenery here (SW MT). Thanks for watching!
Hi again, Shane. Thanks for taking the trouble to get back to me. I'm trying to gather as much good information as I can about carbon/foam limbs because I'm now shooting maple/glass ones but plan to upgrade in the near future. All the carbon/foam limbs seem to have excellent speed, but various brands and models seem to differ (sometimes significantly) in how they feel toward the end of the draw cycle. Since your draw length is particularly long, I'd be very interested to know how the Discovery limbs feel to you as you near the backwall. In other word, are they stacking at that point? But if you don't have the time to answer, I understand completely! Best, Chris (in Maine)
@@labtrainer09 Chris, to me the R3 limbs do not feel stacky. Naturally the poundage increases as you go further back, but it feels like a constant rate of increase. I do have one very stacky longbow (Bearpaw Blackfoot) that really hits a wall around 30 inches. That's the only bow of mine that really feels like it hits that wall, and it gives me a good reference on how that feels.
@@labtrainer09 Also I wanted to add that I have a SWA SpyderXL with maple/glass limbs, and a Black Hunter with bamboo/glass limbs. To me, the difference in 'feel' compared to the R3 limbs is very subtle, I don't know that I could tell the difference if I was blindfolded.
Thanks for the additional information, Shane. It's really useful. Chris
Shane. Were the arrows tuned to the bow?
Tim, the different arrows on the chrono test were all fairly well tuned by spine/point weight. I don't go as far as trimming shafts 1/4" at a time a such. I do test with bare shaft to make sure I'm in the ballpark for tune. The arrow I typically shoot in this bow is a 32" 400 shaft (Gold Tip Traditional) with a 175-200gr point. Keep in mind I have a draw length of around 31-32". The 600 and 500 spine I shot here were only 30" spine (factory length) so I was short-drawing slightly, with the point resting on the shelf. Thanks for watching!
I have the older version rated at 1020 fps i live in Federal Way Washington elevation is 468 feet above sea level, I get 763 fps with the Croman 14.3 and 653 fps with the JSB 18.13 your is 1100 , I Am jealous. good shooting
Yeah we're getting about the same performance. The 1100 fps gun would probably be around 800 with the 14.3, and 700 with the 18.13 in your atmo. Thanks for watching!
The 42 yard shot steel plate. What was the pellet you used?
That was the JSB 18.13grain on the 42 yard steel. Thanks for watching!
Fusion Mach 1 🦾🦾
What state are you in?
Montana
Where do you find a 35" arrow
I'm not sure about a 35", but Black Eagle sells 34". Most of mine are 32" shafts.
Wow! Just ordered mine earlier today....and if I can do anything close to that 5 shot group I will die a happy man Sir! Excellent!!!
The gun will do it, but it took me some time and patience to learn the hold that would deliver the consistency. Not too tight, not too loose. Thanks for watching, and enjoy your new air rifle!
@@shanepitzer4126 I have some 3000-4000 dollar Field Target PCP's...that I might sell...haha...as I have just really gotten into break-barrel air rifles. Perhaps it's because as a boy in the 60-70s I had some Daisy and Crosman guns..but also some Weihrauch and Feinwerkbau guns too...I was obsessed with guns and airguns in England from about 7-8 years old. I like that it takes work....isn't that how we truly learn. 🙂
That is some good shooting Sir and humble with it! I was looking at the Black Knight but this would seem to be the same gun but with some sound suppression. Great video...and subscribed! Greetings from Spain.
Thanks for watching and sharing your nice comments! I really like this air rifle.
Agin no sights worthless no good
Thanks for the heads up!
No sights no good what the hell good is it with no sights
Great observation, thanks for sharing!
Why is there no sights if the scope fails it is worthless think about the future worthless
That's good to know, thanks!
DAMN,, SOUNDS LIKE A .22LR
Thanks for watching!
Was this .22 ?
Yes, 22 caliber, thanks for watching!
Very nice and interesting video. + 1 subscriber Lijep pozdrav iz Crne Gore ( Best regards from Montenegro 🇲🇪 )
Glad you enjoyed the vid, thanks for watching!
great video thanks🤠
Very neat breakdown on the various draws!
Thanks for watching, and glad you liked the vid!
جميل 🎉
The 32" draw is money with just about any bow.
Yeah the added draw weight, and the longer power stroke on release, really make a difference. Thanks for watching!
I just bought my first 9mm recently, a brand new Springfield Hellcat. I might have to try this stuff for fun to see what it can do. I love blasting water jugs, I bet this stuff could make a mess of them. Great video:-)
Yeah they should do a number on water jugs. Congrats on your new pistol!
I wish you would make more videos you talk so well on camera it seems to come natural for you
Thanks, yeah I need to get the cameras fired up again.
yes I thought you did a great job.@@shanepitzer4126
Ok I did like it 😂
I have tbis rifle in 177 and i love it. Anyone knows where is that place? The mountains, the kake they are just beutiful!
I really like mine as well. I'm in Montana.
I was very interested in your results with the carbine. That's really moving at 2135! My only question is, could that possibly be too fast for the bullet to perform as it's designed on impact? Thanks
Being a solid copper bullet, I don't think it will fail from velocity, short of hitting something like hardened steel. In a 'meat target', more velocity will just cause more disruption.
Thanks for the test! It was hilarious tbh XD
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the vid!
What type of string are you using on this bow?
It's a flemish twist string from 3Rivers. It's made of the fast-flight string material, D97 I believe.
Is it subsonic?
Yes. The speed of sound is around 1080 fps. None of these pellets were anywhere near that velocity.
@shanepitzer4126 The gamo site says they can do 1300. I want something subsonic for sure
@@user-bl3si3kq6x 1300 might happen with alloy pellets, at sea-level, on a hot day. With the lead 22 cal pellets, in the 14+ grain weight, it's subsonic.
Cool Shane! another good video.
Glad you enjoyed it! I need to get the cameras fired up and get some new vids going!
🙂👍
You might want to invest in a better mic?
Yeah I was just using the camera mic there. Not the best way to go unless really close to the camera.
Hi Shane, for beginner adult male with a smaller frame and average strength -- what draw weight limbs do you recommend?
Eric, In my opinion, 30# limbs is a great place to start, and you will never outgrow those limbs for practice or casual shooting. 30# is light enough to really focus on form, and heavy enough to get a pretty clean release. I shoot the 30# limbs a lot. Thanks for watching! Shane
Eric, with the 30# limbs you will want an arrow with about a 600 spine, and 125-150gr point. I would suggest not cutting the arrows just leave them at 30", 32" or whatever they come as. The longer shaft will be easier to tune with point weight adjustments as you go along, because it will be more flexible than a shorter shaft of the same spine.
Good video, informative 👍 thank you Shane
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
New sub. Thanks for your time
Glad you enjoyed the vid, thanks for the sub!
Hey Shane, first of all, Semper Fidelis. 6’7” here and looking for my first one piece traditional bow that fits my draw length. Now I am definitely considering the Galaxy. I’m trying to get on your level! Great shooting man.
I dont think its a "poor" test. its usually light related. But I Believe the second numbers
