I use a spyder and I wanted to know where i should set my velocity screw at? what rate should it be set at?

and how do i know how far to turn the screw if I don't have a machine that clocks it? :confused:

will it have an effect of how far or straight the balls come out? help please

You should be shooting at somewhere between 250 and 300 fps. Just go to a field and play, theyll make you chrono and you can just leave it there for outlaw ball

Yea take it to a field and then chrono it up there. I say if your playing outdoor a good velocity is about 260-280. Thats just my opinion tho.

but sometimes the screw accidentily moves and I cant go to a feild every time i need it at the right setting.

if I unscrew it all the way how many times around should I turn it ? :D

it would be impossible to tell you how to set your velocity because that all depends on your gun/spring set/bolt/valve/climate of the area you are in/etc...
