Shooting for impressive groups
Hello all,
Recently, I’ve turned up the power of my Condor from 750 FPS to 900 FPS. The thing is, it can not group as good as it does on the former power setting. The best I can muster is about 1-1/2″ at 30 yards. I noticed too that upon close and careful observation of the reticle with respect to the Condor’s movement when a shot is fired is that it does quite a bit.
So, my questions for you Condor owners are these: What hold gives you the best groupings? Do you hold the gun tightly and pull it back to your shoulder, or do you give it the slightest hold?

My Condor, with the old style valve, has always been terribly accurate. We shoot ours with 18 inch barrels on a PW setting of about 8 or 9 and get in the high 900 fps. Our range is 165 feet long and we shoot groups that will normally go less than 1/2 inch edge to edge. Occasionally you get a flyer – the gun, the pellet or our aim, something can always slip on you.
Using the standard AF bipod rested on a table, free in the rear, I tend to hold the gun a bit more tightly than I did my spring piston guns, but I still wouldn’t say that I put a death grip on them. Just snug, not tight.
