I’m having an issue with my airwolf. I got it from Airguns of Arizona about 6 weeks ago and sighted it in at 50 on high power with jsb 25.39 .22 pellets it was dead on. Have shot it a couple of times since and it was fine fine. Today it was shooting all over the place. I have not dropped it or done anything I’m aware of any ideas?

Did you shoot over the chrony when getting things initially set up? If yes, then shoot again to confirm speed.
Check breech/probe o’ring. Consider cleaning your barrel.

I'm with @zx10wall on this.
Barrel cleaning is a good first step.
The Airwolf has a probe rather than breech oring and is very hard on them. Check if it's frayed or anything other than absolutely perfect. Even if it looks fine consider replacing it if cleaning the barrel didn't get results. I found the 90 shore ones lasted longer while the 70 died really quickly. Still only last a couple of thousand shots max.
It might worth trying Viton or urethane when yours inevitably needs replacing. Apparently they're tougher than normal nitrile ones.

Any wind at all? This is what it sounds like. Even a slight wind changing direction with gusts, will definitely 100% effect a projectile just exactly as you're describing. Slight wind deflection can effect a pellet drastically. You can easily see groups that were .25 of an inch expand to .75 an inch , and even over an inch at 50 yards with the projectiles passing through the target like really inconsistently. You will see things like high right, and the next shot left of and out of the bull. Sometimes the two shots are separated by an inch or more.

Thanks for all the ideas I will clean the barrel first and if that doesn’t work check the O ring

also check battery level/pellet speed!... those pellets need some minimum speed to guarantee accuracy....

I have cleaned the barrel, checked the O ring (no damage), taken off the moderator and shroud still shooting badly. I am now charging to see if it was the velocity causing the issue. If not then it must be cliping somehow with all the accessories off that would mean something is up with the barrel so im at a loss. I did not chrony the gun when I got it but it was chronyed by AOA so I can compare. I will follow up with results. Thank all of you for your input
