I just bought an ANGEL ir3 (second hand) and it keeps flashing up on the screen

"Recomended service"

So where,and how much do these services cost????


Also i was wondering if you had to change settings for your hopper (mine is an egg)??

I also chop like fcuk if i go any higher than 8bps.

Let me no your suggestions plzzzzz....

pretty cheap to get a full service from Tom Allen mate, hes your best bet (fully qualified angel tech ;) )

anyway, when your marker reaches a set number of cycles (shots), it recommends a service to clean it up basically. new o-rings, oiling up, clean away dirt etc etc etc.

worth it. makes it run smoother aswell :D

with your chopping, its probably because of a number of reasons:

1 - crap paint (or its been kept too cold or too hot therefore bigger or smaller than usual = chopping

2 - bad paint to barrel match

3 - most likely because your dwell is too high. get the manual from www.wdp.tv for your ir3. when the dwell is low (probably around 15 or something for you at the moment), the bolt basically hits the ball harder and is less likely to not break, but you get a faster shot. increasing the dwell (id say to around 18-21) means the bolt will hit the ball more softly, and therefore less likely to break.

try all these seperately and use logic to sort the problem. try borrowing barrels from people for a start, or get someone who has an angel and ask them.

i find it HIGHLY UNLIKELY you are out shooting your hopper. is it and eggy?? or eggy 2??? thats important actually.

at 8bps you shouldnt even be able to out shoot a revy...lol thatll be the day

the recomended dwell is 14 - 16 mate, putting up to about 18/21 will also increase noise and decrease air efficiency! and when i say i loud, i mean LOUD lol... try putting your sensi on mate by pushing the green/orange (cant remember) button when you're in live, i found this helped a lot when i had my IR3.

COPS and Sensi are the same thing skeet :D I have a speed and I've had an IR3, maybe the actual software for it is diff, but they both use rubber rods, and weight to detect the ball!

*psst* he doesnt know what hes talking about.

but yeah hold your live button when the gun is live so it wont shoot unless it detects a ball on the pressure level.

helps you stop firing and breaking a ball in the feedneck or as it enters the breach (basically slams it against the marker body)
