Your right this is pretty good. I was just shooting targets and want to get an idea of where I was at the moment. It can be better like my 25 Ghost which has much tuning and time put into it I'm getting a spread of 4fps and an SD of 1.4 Now we are getting close for comp season!

This was shooting JTS pellets straight from tin. Normally I at least clean and oil them for practice and then add weighting them for comps. JTS great consistency in weight and size, I would say 70% are 25.4 the other 30% are 25.3 or 25.5.

This is 32 shots of my 22 Ghost. 145 Regulator 8 on Hammer. This is the new Fady 22Ghost, I wasn't shooting groups just trying to get scoring for my system of tuning. It ran 987 FPS Avg, 2.5 SD, which would have been better if one shot didn't jump to 993. In my opinion this is much to fast...

What is your Regulator set at? If it is to high say 145Bar then you will have a number of shots on a nice even SD then when the bottle pressure good below the regulator you will see the hammer work better and the speeds increase. Once the speeds fall below your average then it is time to take...

I have the 28" Fady with the suppressor. Don't give up on the the Ghost. I have an older 28" 25 cal the I developed my own barrel calming design for and it is better then my Red Wolfs and right in there in terms of producing high scores to win the big events. My Fady is a 22 cal 28" barrel...

I bought Fady Ghost but the barrel clamp isn't on it. Should it be? Already ordered my design in prototype, but it would have been nice to see this to take dimensions off of it so first proto had better chance of working.

I believe the answer is yes. AOA told me they are compatible, but I haven't done this myself.

Close on the stable pellet. Wind will always change the direction, the better I get at reading the wind the better my scores. What I'm going after is the sudden 5 or 6 instead of a 8 or 9. Usually caused by a spiral or unusual jumps from intended target. This is where I believe the wind hits...

Finally someone with a number! So I modeled a 34gr 25 cal JSB pellet to use for illustration. Using the assumed 5 degree wake given unknown speed. You get a wild assumption I modeled below. Now imagine by simply changing the speed of your pellet you could change the 5 degrees into 6...

Interesting there isn't more studies done in terms of designing better pellets. This study was done at 200mps which is 656fps, very slow even for the field target guys. Still thinking the frontal area of the pellet can move the air in wake form to the rear of the pellet. Even at the right...

Similar in that it looks to tension the barrel. I will update as I get the gun tuned to speeds to produce 10's

It looks like some believe air craft speeds are close to where pellets have the most stabilized flight. What I think is the wake off the head of the pellet either interfaces with the skirt for a stable flight or is leading cause of destabilization. Can one find a speed that causes the wake off...

Interesting thought. I wonder if the curve of the head is different as well.

Mine come at least 970 or faster. Some of that is Utah sits around 5000 ft compared to 2000 at AoA. Our discussion went around just the pellet and not so much what it came out of. Let's say the wake of the air coming off the head and how it comes back to the skirt. Does the wake miss the...

The pellet were JTS 25.4 and JSB 25.4, the gun liked the JTS better then the JSBs. I would say the trigger was lighter then my 25cal Ghost (in stock condition) but not as light as my fixes. The fixed trigger is down to 9 oz but have springs to try and get to the 6 oz range for comps. The...

A recent discussion on speed of pellets for best accuracy at 100 yards, was great with a friend but I thought I would open it up and see what everyone else opinions might be. What flies everyday and finds the most stable and comfortable flight? Well airplanes for sure. Most fly around 600mph...

I received my new Ghost Fady Edition on Friday and jumped to get a scope on it and race to the range. Overall first shots I was pleased. Shooting very hot for a 22cal it started at 995 FPS. 145 PSI on the reg and 7 on the power wheel. I have some questions to is the torque on the barrel...

Welcome to EBR! If you can come in a few days early it is always great to get practice at the range and learn the wind of AZ. The 50, 75 and 100 range can change with the wind. Always practice shooting over the bumps on the left side of the range they can make the best question their...

I got an entire new gun. I don't like switching back and forth once everything is setup. Plus the red parts look great!

Yes on the tensioned barrel. Not sure how Fady handled the pellets. Tuning is very easy and the Fady's spring for the hammer comes in the gun so no searching there.
