Low first shot?

[Richy_C]

Hey guys, every once in a while i get low first shot, that's my LPR, right?

Lotta ppl have problems w/ this..

Somehow your RAM isn't opening the valve all the way.

Try turning up your LPR just a tad .. Also, i heard turning off dip switch 4 helps (dwell time)

It will open the valve longer so you will get more air and no drop off on first shot.

But that doesn't seem right, it has to be pressure drop, if it were what you say, it would always shoot the same as the first shot, kinda nasty, but i'll try it.

Maybe your RAM assembly isn't sealing the air pressurized in the chamber :eek:

Might wanna check all the orings, and lube the RAM and orings and even the hammer :eyes:

Joe Winters, one of the top ICD techs suggests that you try to turn on dip 3 or 4, and that usually cures that problem.

I have also heard that a solonoid going bad can produce low first shots that eventually turns into other shot problems as the 'noid goes down.

And I have personally had the "low first shot" happen to my Bushy when the battery starts to die.

check the battery. whenever you have problems, check the battery. i had the same problem, i thought it was air flow, my first shot wasn't even getting out of the barrel, i doubt it moved enough for another ball to fall. i put in a new battery and it was working immaculately.

Cool will do. I might even try do battle the demons inside my 'noid and try to clean it. Hey ronn, good to see you here.

Thanks. I just discovered the forums on PBReview. A great selection of threads and the posters seem friendly and helpful. (And I need all the help I can get:) )
