Barrel.

It also has to do with paint-barrel match and the consistancy of your air source.

The bolt has very little to do with accuracy. It's like blaming the seats in your car for poor handling.

Yes. An expansion chamber would do great, but for better results look into a palmers stabalizer.

Dont get a new bolt! Get a new barrel first, or turn down your velocity, or just clean it before blaming bad accuracy on anything else. An expansion chamber will help with consistancy, but its most likly something else causing bad accuracy.

Yup you can be shooting hot as well. Make sure you are shooting between 275 - 285 bps. I find anything higher than that the balls go crazy. Plus you can also hurt someone, break a lense....

Make sure you match your barrel to paint. To test this is easy. Stick a paintball in your barrel if it rolls out = too small. If it goes in, try and blow it out using your mouth. If it doesn't come out, or gets stuck = too big. For a perfect match you should be able to blow the paintball out using your mouth.

Also make sure the barrel is clean and not oily inside.

I had a star fire bolt and noticed no difference in performance.

Make sure your not using bad paint. You know the paint that looks like a paint egg and not a paint ball.
GO BUCKS!!!

That sucks. High humidity + high temps = looney.

I should be getting a dose of your woes on friday; thunderstorms are supposed to roll in while the temp hovers around 100.

Yay!

If 32 degrees works fine, don't switch.
