POI Shift
I was shooting this morning with the FX Cyclone at a pretty fast pace
and the POI started
to shift to the left 1/2″ plus.. I haven’t measured it yet but it is significantly
more than just a flyer because three shots in a row went
into the same hole..I also noticed condensation building up on the end
of the barrel and it was cold….Might be my imagination but, it
seemed that when I took more time between shots too keep the
barrel from forming condensation, the groups got
tighter and the POI would shift back to the bull….The wind is 0mph.

mamcrackin: Time for the barrel to cool down, and warp back to its normal position??
Well in a sense time between shots for it to warm up..And dry out I guess.
That sounds allot like the times I played with CO2. It would cool the
barrel enough to get condensation.
Friggen moisture in the barrel. Is your air supply dry ?
Pull a patch through and you’ll be amazed how wet it is.
If my beer bottle is sweating, I drink more and shoot slower 😉
100 degrees with 70% himitity now !!!
Geezz !

(Sorry Mark,!! I couldn’t resist… 😆 )
A little delrin and some CA for an igniter?
LOL. Mind you, when WE can build a high powered airgun from scratch, maybe we can talk!! I would of blown my hands off wayyyy back 😆
No doubt…I wouldn’t have even have known what to do when it started to heat up….I probably would have thrown it and hollered GRANADE!!!!!
Sounds like your barrel is warping with changes in temperature.

Mam’ try setting fire to the inside of your tank to warm things up again… 😆

Could be Adam….Gonna give it another try later. Just seemed to keep repeating it’s self. This gun is a lot lighter than the BSA’s so maybe more sensitive..
Could it be trigger pull consistency?

Yea my air is dry but, this was crack of dawn early this morning and the air here 35 miles from the Gulf of Mexico was not dry…Quite humid in the mornings….I could almost see the vapor trail coming off the pellet….
