Abstract: A pneumatic arrow gun has a gun body, an arrow, a positioning sleeve, and a connecting wire. The arrow is for inserting into an air tube of the gun body. The positioning sleeve is temporarily mounted around the air tube, and the arrow is disposed through the positioning sleeve. The connecting wire connects the gun body to the positioning sleeve. Because the positioning sleeve is temporarily mounted around the air tube, the arrow slides forward relative to the positioning sleeve after triggering. When triggering the arrow, the connecting wire naturally dangles. When the arrow detaches from the air tube, the positioning sleeve located at a nock of the arrow due to the sliding of the arrow. Therefore, a rebound of the arrowhead is prevented. The safety and the shooting stability are ensured. Further, the arrow is easily retrieved by the connecting wire.
