Getting into the world of airguns? They're suitable for competition, target practice, and even hunting, but each activity does require substantially different types of ammunition. Most people have little difficulty understanding that concept when it comes to rifle and pistol ammo, but sometimes people overlook the differences when it comes to airguns! That's why Hatsan is bringing Americans the benefits of the Argentinian-made Apolo line of airgun pellets. With specific lines geared for hunting, long-range shooting, and competition shooting, Apolo handles it all.
Long-range shooting mixes the hunting and competition components inherent to airguns. It bridges the gap between the two and requires a stout pellet to handle the power necessary to reach the required speed and ranges. For hunting, the Apolo Puncher (.25) and Hunter (.22) are tin pellets that provide the weight and strength for distance while maintaining efficient expansion and penetration on impact.
To combat the requirements of competition shooting, Hatsan is providing a few optimal choices for the marksman in .177 and .22 calibers. This provides options for both high-powered rifles and pistol airguns. The Pointed and Champion series in the Apolo lineup offer exceptional precision.
But it doesn’t end there. Domed, a mixed-use pellet, offers competition precision while adding a .25 caliber option to the existing .177 and .22 caliber options. All three sizes leave a clean and noticeable impact on targets for easy counting and grouping assessment with no guesswork.
Hunting pellets come in various caliber options and often merge into the long-range and competition shooting categories. All available Apolo pellet choices are suitable for hunting, with the Slug and Arrow being two standout pellets with vastly different approaches, while the Puncher provides optimal expansion. Apolo has it all, whether it is long-range or high-power.
Pellet materials differ, with tin being the primary material capable of being used for hunting in nearly every location. Now, Apolo gives users more options in pellet choice with .177, .22, and .25 calibers. MSRPs depend upon the pellet chosen, with prices from $4.99 - $15.49. Hatsanairgunsusa.com
