Hello all my name is Sean and i am new to the pcp air gun world,
i recently purchased a .22 gauntlet i was sighting in the scope and setting up the rifle today as it just came in the mail. i am using an air venturi hand pump to fill my tank, I pump it up to the recommended 3000 psi when i first got it shot it a couple times with out the scope and it shot well.
well today i get it to pressure and shoot the first shot and its solid. however the second shot is significantly lower and the sound is off. sounds more like a whoopy cushion than an air rifle. getting a four inch drop at twenty five yards.
so i pump it back off to 3000 and same thing. solid sounding shot followed by another whoopy cushion shot.
is this a manu defect or am i doing something wrong?
the link below is the sound it is making i took a short video of the whoopy cushion sound. also its still reading at almost 3000 psi at this point so its holding the air in the tank .
