25 caliber string
I shot a string with my Condor while shooting JSB KIngs at 100 yards.
I shot off the hood of my Ford Explorer with a Caldwell range bag and used my fist under the pistol grip.
I shot with and without the Airhog and POI did not change. This was noteworthy because I had just drilled and tapped 6 holes in the two bushings and centered them, prior to that POI would change as much as 5 inches.
Power wheel was maxed out and Top hat was at .070.
Starting PSI was at 3000 PSI I shot 32 shots and then my Chrony started showing low battery and I quit. Ending pressure was 2250 PSI. Groups were averaging 1.5 inches.
Here is the string:
1-955 *** 17-975
2-959 *** 18-974
3-960 *** 19-969
4-964 *** 20-973
5-964 *** 21-972
6-967 *** 22-970
7-969 *** 23-969
8-965 *** 24-969
9-967 *** 25-969
10-968 *** 26-967
11-968 *** 27-966
12-969 *** 28-960
13-966 *** 29-961
14-971 *** 30-956
15-973 *** 31-962
16-970 *** 32-961

I just reread my post and sorry RC I sounded like a dick head. I was assuming you wanted more power. My bad brosky =)
It’s about time , 😆
you got it 80 , thought no one saw that. i love that movie.!!
And what movie did this come from. 🙂

Nice sting and nice shooting RC!
You may want to back out the valve spring retainer. I can get those same numbers with an 18″ .25 barrel and stock condor tank and valve. I have a 85 gram hammer though.
It is all stock Air Force Condor, but on a SS frame, except, a Subsonnic bolt, and a Wokguard, neither of which should effect the string. Except .except, except,
I did polish the inside of the valve.
The Top hat is set out as far as it can go and the power wheel is maxed.
Funny thing is that when the Top hat is out as far as it can go, it exposes all the threads inside the Top hat.
I am thinking that as the air swirls against those threads, it gains velocity, like a tornado, perhaps I should I should be trying to launch miniture manufactured houses. 😆
What would be the FPE of a Doublewide ❓
Dorathy is this Kansas?
Love that Stolichnaya

What size tank? I get right around 55 shots at 950 fps with 2000 reg, 53 ci tank and .25 JSB’s. I have a Blod valve that I’m going to stick on it to see if there is any difference. It seem’s to use air better.
That is without a reg, and I was wrong on the top hat, it is all the way out.
I could have gotten perhaps 35 shots in that range, and knew it when the Chrony battery started acting up. I should see what it does at 2900, probably get a real level string if I thru out the first 3 shots
Oddly enough, it is the first string I think I have ever recorded, I never gave strings much thought, because I just shoot around the house here, and am always close to air.
That quote sounds like a quote from a John Wayne movie, but I just can’t get my broken brain cells to retrieve it.
Merry Christmas folks.

Your a fast learner Pilgram, you will go far!!!!
And what movie did this come from. 🙂
Looks great RC.
Thats with an ETacReg, or without?
Can’t beat that with a stick.
Ohh thats a nice tight string!!
Perfect speed for those Kings too.

Benneboy,
Of course you are a dickhead :lol:.
Your right, I would love more power. But when I turn this thing up to lets say 1060 FPS with Kings, accuracy goes south in a big way, turn it down, and the groups return to clusters.
I just got in 8 tines of 43 Grain EJ’s. With the Condor spacer and a 105 grain or so hammer, I get 1028FPS, and at 100 yards it will stay on a sheet of typing paper, dial it down to 940 FPS and it starts grouping again.
I wonder at times if it is the harder hammer strike? I shot 74 Sharps for years and years, nothing hits like that fucking hammer. With the Condor hammer in, accuracy is much better, but then the velocity is slower by
about 100 FPS.
Perhaps the harder hammer strike is bouncing the tube inside the scope and the lighter hits do not. I will find out in a month or so when I buy a new scope for it.
I was hoping that I could get this thing to shoot flat for about 440 yards and then start climbing 😎 , but alas, it appears it’s a bb gun after all.
