Seems overpriced to me - a top end marker where the board setup is still dip switches/flashing leds/trigger pulls? The A1 Fly is almost half the price new and comes with an OLED board with scroll wheel. You're paying a lot for the Dye name.

Own 2, grips are a nightmare, have broken 2 pairs while trying to change the battery. They became super fragile in cold temps and when your in a huury to get to the next game you wish they had just fitted 3 screw like the DM/PM range.

I know have the knack, but 2 sets later.


H,

There are no screw holes on the frame, so you have to use the stock grips which are comfy for now.

Hey Foot,

Sorry to hear you had issues with the grips breaking. I know that the plastics in the harder parts of the grips were improved/toughened up after the first couple of batches.

I presume DYE have sent you warranty replacements now? Please drop me a PM if you are still having issues.

Thanks,

Tommy

Hi Tommy,

Sorry i should have stated, the NT's were some of the early ones in the UK so i presume they had the harder plastic grips, DYE did replace the grips very quickly and under warranty.
I am not totaly blameless here as eagerness to get back in the game may have assisted to me being ham fisted!!!

Hi

It's a new marker so expect a few teething issues.

Dye has been very quick to address any issues that have arisen and dealt with all under the warranty.

All the guys on the team that have bought them and are shooting them are very impressed with them so far.

For me they are a tad pricey for the amount or game time I commit to now. Then again the first marker I bought was a £1200 Eclipse cocker.

If you have the funds they are a very good marker.

Regards

Ed
