i have a stock tippman A5 (i do plan on upgrading some of it) and it seems that every other shot is innacurate. I was shooting at a tree and every other shot hit while the other shots curved. can anyone tell me why and what i need to do to fix this |

Exactly every other shot? Or some shots are just more/less accurate than others? First check for breaks - barrel, breech, Cyclone. Is this a recent problem, or was it like this out of the box? ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

| I would try a new barrel. Go with a Lapco bigshot or a J&J ceramic to start with. The stock barrel is not that great. Also what brand and what condition are the paintballs you use? |

| i bought bad paintballs becuase i only wanted to have a few for testing the gun (i plan on replacing the barrel so i didnt want to get paintballs that wouldnt fit the new barrel...and i didnt have much money on me at the time) I was shooting out of the stock barrel and yes this problem was occuring out of the box. it seemed to me like it was exactly every other shot |

| Roll your paintballs on a flat surface or just look at them. If they are ovaled or have dimples, they are going to shoot terribly. |

| Bad paint, poor air supply, high velocity, wind. |

Try some better paint and make sure your velocity isnt to high. Also check for junk in the barrel.
