Building on the success of Hatsan’s Hydra QE multi-caliber PCP air rifle, HatsanUSA is introducing the Hydra Arrow. With the ability to shoot commercially available 20” crossbow arrows with .30” inner diameter, this new arrow launcher will turn heads. Available in a durable synthetic stock with texturing for better grip and control. It features the patented Versi-Cal Technology, an interchangeable caliber system that allows the shooter to trade calibers with a single thumbscrew.

The VCT system couples a caliber-specific receiver and barrel into a single interchangeable module, enabling the scope to remain mounted and zeroed in with each caliber used. A knurled screw located at the rear of the receiver locks the upper module onto the lower receiver, allowing caliber changes in just a few seconds. The Hydra Arrow also features Hatsan’s 2-stage, fully adjustable, match Quattro trigger. Read more
