Do any of you guys know, and are willing to pass their wisdom onto me? also, i have a rough idea od what sweetpotting is, but could someone also clear that up for me, i swear it i am useless Cheers Guys, Chris

in ur lpr (the one used for cocking) Unscrew it so it doesnt cock then screw it in while firing untill it will cock then give it a wee half turn after that.

Your inline reg is a little harder.

Get some paint and a crono.

Screw it al the way out (ie.lowest pressure) and screw it in till your gun fires, when it starts firing put paint in it. Fire some paint over the crono and take your reading, then screw it in further and fire then watch as ur velocity increases.

It will then hit a peak velocity and start to go down even tho u are still screwing the same direction.

When you find the peak, that is your sweet spot.

hoped that helped.

Also make sure u fire 4-5 balls when ur turnin then shoot, then turn in then shoot to get a rough average of the velocity.

You will also need a good paint to barrel match.

okay dude, that helps, cheers, but just to be sure, i adjust the reg, fire 4-5 shots for the reg to take adjustment and then chrono it again? and repeat this process until i find the velocity peak? Chris

yeh man, but if u do it with paint and a hopper its easier.

Adjust, fire a few shots then take a crono reading from a few other shots.

Also...make sure your velocity adjustment at teh back of the gun, is set low, wound out, before you turn your inline reg down, just as long as paint comes out at a decent rate...once you have set teh inline how you want it, set your final velocity as normal at teh back...that way, your using as little springing in the back of your gun, which means your lpr can be lower and you get less kick
