He knows how to play the game, you would just think he would be better at it by now.

Big brother chiming in. I succinctly let you know that about 50 strokes into a glorified bicycle pump on a 580 cc bottle and you would once again be in trouble with the wife when you explain the need to spend more money on a compressor. Just glad you finally decided to jump off the cliff into...

OP here. This was an older thread and I was not receiving notifications. I had a Concept XR on backorder for a very long time but eventually went the M3 Compact route after a local air gun store opened in Dallas and I was tired of waiting. The concepts came in a few weeks after the purchase of...

I stepped up from a Marauder to a Impact M3 Comact and a Donny Sumo. 95 percent of my shooting is in the backyard in a Dallas suburb. Noise is not an issue at all and I could not be happier. I have taken it from 20 yards in the backyard and stretched its legs out to 140 yards with 18 grain...

Thank you sir! You are a wealth of knowledge! Just checked and it is hitting the shroud. I really feel better about what is going on now, just cant figure out what happened to cause the loss accuracy. I let 6 family members 3 adults and 3 children under 10 shoot it and the only thing I can think...

I have noticed that as well. I bow hunt so am familiar with the importance of repeatability, just did not expect it on an air gun at short range. That being said the target is am accustomed to shooting at are quite a bit larger that what I am shooting here. 

I am only getting about 3/4 a turn past the fourth line. After sitting overnight 1st reg is 160 and 2nd reg is 95. I just shot it and 1st reg now reads 146 and second 90. I did hear the plenum fill but had to physically have my ear on the plenum to hear it. 

Quick update for anyone interested and wants to keep helping a rookie out. The chrono delivered, I did not have a lot of time, but figured I would play around a little. The first shot of JSB 18's came back at 530 fps. Adjusted macro to 16 and micro to 2 and was getting 606-705. Adjusted micro to...

Well, that was only 20 yards. 50 yards was a different story as well as recently with whatever else is going on. Wind was pretty bad again today so I will see what happens tomorrow. It sound like I may have completely underestimated the effects of the wind. I am also shooting from a tripod with...

Thank you sir. I must have been typing when you were providing the answer. You mentioned the the ProChrono DLX previously right? Also would you go with JB Bore Bright or Bore cleaning compound?

Thanks. I am still pretty new to all of this and figured I would put off the chrono for a bit after the M3 and Hill Compressor in one week but guess Ill just bite the bullet. That being said, the Crosman 14.3 were what was shooting lights out until all of the sudden. It is a little windy out...

So I recently purchased a M3 Compact and it was shooting lights out. I don't have measurements but basically 21 pellets in 4 pellet holes at 20 yards. Macro set at 8 and 1.25 on the micro and everything else was left at factory settings shooting Crosman 14.3. I was able to take it and shoot at...

That is a mistake you should only make once in life. I think this is actually a 1.3 or .9 key. Thanks for my first accuracy points!

Thanks! Had a feeling that was it but don't have a 1.5. I will pick up a new set and see if that is the problem. 

So the micro adjustment wheel on my M3 is not working. It spins freely, but will not make an adjustment either direction. Any ideas what is going on? Also, is it okay to turn the macro wheel from 16 to 1 instead of turning back down 14, 15, 13 and so on? Hope that did not cause the problem.
