The barrel is clean, im using the origional sights. 15 feet away with tourney paint should be close to the target. I know how to set it up for height but not for left-right

make sure the barrel is in line. check the velocity.
NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.

if its clean, then clean it again. make sure the cyclone is clean and dry also. clean barrels won't do you any good if the hopper or cyclone isn't.

velosity check again. make sure the barrel is on right. look to see a center mark on the barrel. take the shroud off and look for a long strait mark going down the center of the barrel. that line marks the center and should be set in the barrel adapter so that when you put the barrel on and make sure the scew it with the front sight, the center line is also inline with the sight. some flatlines have come crooked in the adapter.

Duh, "acquire" a Super Chromium.

But since you are not worthy, check your barrel/paint match. Check velocity. Make sure your barrel is clean.

Mine also shoots left, without fail, every shot.

It's consistant at least though, so I choose to ignore my sights all together & go by feel.

Works like a charm.



I came.
I sawed.
I conquered.

Keep both eyes open when you aim and fire. Adjust your velocity, Check you aligment of your barrel.

Chrono your gun. Around 285 is perfect.

Check if the face of your bolt is deformed or somethin.  If not then the inside of the barrel mayde has a rough spot thats spinning the ball.  If you have a Flatline make sure that the hole for the ball to come out is ligned up with the sight and the screw on top closest to you is also ligned up with the sight

Do you have the need for speed?
