That’s the challenging part, but it also helps improve my shooting skills. I don’t really shoot to win, but the learning process is the fun part.

At the lowest spring tension and 80 bars, I am shooting at 10 FPE. I am guessing a .22 is more efficient and therefore delivers more FPE.

Maybe set the pressure to 70 bars?

If you want more power or less report, the standard is the way to go. I like the Shorty because it has a shorter OVL and the LOP is also shorter. You can still fit a Fatboy over the standard for some extra hush.

The max power of my Shorty is not when the HST is turned all the way in. Starting with the HST bolt flush with the receiver, mine has the maximum power about 1.5 turns out. If you haven’t done so, try to turn it out 1/8 turn at a time, and take at least two shots for each position. I found that my shorty needs 1 shot for the HST to settle…Read more

I have been shooting my Shorty at 13 FPE with JSB Express 14.35gr pellets and it is dead nut accurate up to 25 yards. I don’t have groups, but let’s just say that many pests now have a piece of lead in their little brains :whistle:

At 20 FPE, I think I did okay in the previous FT match. Almost tied with 3rd place.

I haven’t really…Read more

The green line is for 950 FPS 28 FPE, purple line is for 790 FPS 20 FPE and the red line is for 640 FPS 13 FPE. As for consistency, I can just say that the 13 FPE is very consistent and use the 20 FPE setting for field target, also very consistent. I only need to adjust the elevation turret 18…Read more

I bought some roll pins from Harbor Freight and use caulk to fix them to the HST bolt (undoable). Then I use a blob of epoxy putty (also from Harbor Freight!) to attach to the roll pins but not in contact with the HST bolt. After the epoxy cures, I used a dremel bit to cut a line on the…Read more

Even a .22 Mutant Shorty shooting at 28 FPE at muzzle can have sufficient retained energy (18+ FPE) at 40 yards depending on the choice of pellets. My Mutant Shorty is bone stock and just by tweaking the HST, it gets 28 FPE at muzzle shooting the lighter JSB…Read more

Thanks for sharing, I just placed an order on the parts and will copy the design when the parts arrive.
