what pellets are you shooting and how many fpe? I am curious because I bought an Atomic XR based off your enthusiasm for the small platform. It shoots JSB Jumbo Express 14.3 the best and dispatches birds very cleanly if I do my part and stay within a reasonable range. I am shooting it at just a...

You are in the right area and could possibly go up in velocity just to see how it groups at different speeds. just remember that the object is to get a short air burst out of the gun. In other words, go as light on the hammer as you can to achieve your velocity.

If you are looking for a place to spend money on accessories and you want lots of choices? look no further than the FX Impact. No other gun made by FX or any other brand even comes close to the amount of stuff to spend/waste money on.

what caliber is the gun. Are you wanting to shoot pellets or slugs. With a compact I would be shooting pellets but that is just me. Why is the reg set so high? MAybe I am not reading your post correctly, but the gun should fill well past the reg pressure set. It should fill to 250 bar. Then your...

I bought some CPHP’s a couple weeks ago at Tractor Supply. New packaging so assume new style pellets. I bought the 22 cal 14.3’s. I have read several members here having good success with them in their Atomic XR’s. My Atomic was not so fond of them. Bought a tin of JSB Jumbo Express 14.3’s and...

I leave mine alone unless they start shooting erratically. When I clean them I do not make them super clean. When the patches are coming out of the muzzle a light gray color I stop. All my liners shoot a bit better slightly dirt to fairly dirty. The liner in my Maverick 22 is going on about 900...

We agree with one another. Your views and frustrations are very similar to mine.

For some folks it isn’t about how many, it is about how. That is why some folks fish with live bait and others use flys, why some folks hunt elk with a PB round and others use a bow. Personally I don’t care how people hunt as long as it is legal and fair chase. I killed a coyote with an air gun...

Aren’t doves a federally managed game bird? In Idaho we can hunt waterfowl with an air gun, or at least could. I haven’t checked the regs this year. Rules were nothing over .20 caliber and non-toxic projectiles. That was all due to federal rules for migratory waterfowl. Shoot the collared doves...

I have found that 145 bar is about tapped out for a stock hammer weights on the M3 22 cal. I was able to get 54 fpe from that set up but the guns were pretty much tapped out at that level. I added a Huma hammer weight to it. The smaller of the two that come with the kit. I don’t know how far I...

back when both of my M3’s were 600mm 22 cal‘s using all the same components, ie hammer springs, hammer weights and liners the same tune in each produced significantly different results. Have to agree, nice fantasy. It was why many of us learned early that sharing tunes was marketing snake oil.

no issue here except the annoying text popup hasn’t been gotten rid of

Good way to agree to something you will regret. married 43 years. this was the voice of experience

Very very few people race cars and yet the people who make the cars spend millions getting their names and product on the race track. Why because we want what wins even if it is a diluted version. Same goes for archery. Very few people shoot competition compared to all the rest of the archers...

You can have your power wheel set at 8 and the hammer will have the same tension behind it as 16 if the micro wheel is at 5. That micro wheel is really all that matters. With your hammer settings where you describe them, adjust the power wheel down and watch your micro tuner. It does not...
