The Airgun Sporting Association Applauds Florida’s Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission for their Decision to Allow Arrow Shooting Airguns for the Harvest of Alligators

May 18, 2022 By Tom McHale

HELENA, MT (May 17, 2022) – The Airgun Sporting Association, the trade organization of the airgun industry, today announced that beginning with the 2022 alligator season, Florida will allow the use of arrow shooting airguns for alligator hunting.

During their May 3-4 meeting in Gainesville, the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission approved the use of arrow shooting airguns for alligator harvest.  The only requirement is that the airgun be a pre-charge pneumatic (PCP) and that the arrow be tethered to a restraining line to allow recovery of the alligator.

Commission staff will be working on incorporating this new opportunity into their 2022 alligator season regulations.  You can read more about alligators and the new regulations at MyFWC.com/alligators.

“Florida has been a long-time supporter of airgun hunting and this is another step forward for the Commission” stated Mitch King, ASA President. “Allowing the use of arrow shooting airguns will provide another great recreational harvest opportunity for Florida hunters.”
