Celebrate the Year of the Airgun Hunter with the double-barrel power of the new Umarex AirSaber Elite X2 archery airgun . Not only can it launch a full-length, 376-grain arrow downrange at a satisfying 450 fps / 169 fpe, but – with a quick flick of the barrel selector switch – an equally powerful follow-up shot can be delivered with far less movement than other air archery options.
That’s two quick, accurate shots with enough brawn to bring down some of the largest, toughest game animals on the planet. How’s that for no strings attached?
The double-barrel AirSaber Elite X2’s jaw-dropping power and utility is fueled by the unregulated 4,000 psi, 14.6 cu. in. / 240 cc PCP tank, capable of 25 effective shots after a fill-up. A smooth 8-pound cocking lever and a 3-pound single-stage trigger make prepping for each round of action an effortless endeavor.

This allows for less energy displacement and gives you the maximum power needed for every shot. PCP Release Technology delivers highly accurate, consistent, and virtually recoil-free shooting. With up to 4000 psi of compressed air, it over-delivers on kinetic foot pound energy for the toughest game. HPS Technology allows Umarex AirSaber Arrows to withstand up to 4000 psi of compressed air inside the carbon fiber, glass shafts. Max pressure, max strength, plus max foot pounds of kinetic energy equals a devastating shot. Straight Flight Technology Arrows receive energy directly to the front of the arrow unlike conventional arrows. This allows the energy to drive the arrow straight without bending, holding true to the statement “straight as an arrow.” Knowing your distance from your target and mastering shot placement is just as vital to a humane harvest using an archery airgun as it is during all types of hunting.
