Hi, I already have an A-5, but I just bought my brother one for his birthday. His is a bit different in a couple ways. One problem I have though, is when trying to turn the velocity screw with the medium sized allen wrench that it came with, it seems to be too small. I then tried the medium size, and it seemed to fit, but seemed really stiff while turning. Do you know what size allen wrench I'm supposed to use? I know it says 3/16 or something like that, but is it 3/16ths of an inch? Any help is greatly appreciated. By the way, I did a search on this before I posted. |

Stiff to turn is normal. You want it to be hard to turn, otherwise the screw could rattle itself loose on the field, and throw your velocity off.

Dont go by what allen wrech is supposed to work because mine is one and my friends are another. Just try one that fits and turn it, is supposed to be a little stiff/hard the first few times, after that it would be a lot more easy to play with. |

you might consider putting some thread sealant or teflon tape on it just to purposely stiffen it up.
