I see some more new disco owners that are not getting good shot counts .This thread would be a big help to them. Unfortunately i do not know how to post link in replysIf someone could help me out it would be appreciated. I think we can help alot of people.Tom
Can you turn it in to where it doesnt cock?AGHTom
The newer Discos have a stronger hammer spring. I got my .22 Disco in June from Norm. The string he shot started at 909fps and ended at 789fps for 13 shots. After doing a lot of reading I new what was going on. Too much preload on the hammer spring. Before i made the power adjuster I knew I had to reduce the tension on the hammer spring. I started with cutting off one coil and that gave me a few more shots. I knew it could do better. I then cut off two more coils and voila 30 shots. I then bought a chrony and found i was getting 30 shots at 775fps average within 4%.cool. Now I put in my power adjuster. I screwed it in to max {coil bind can,t cock then 1/2 turn out]I shot it over the chrthink ony and got 20 shots at 850fps at less than 4%Now I can adjust from all the way in to all the way out depending on what power i want.Hope this helps some of the new Disco ownersGood luckTom

Does reducing the power also reduce the loudness without a TKO or similar attachment?Mike

Could someone explain the term "power adjuster" in connection with the Discovery power and hammer spring discussion. Are they commonly available? Thanks
On the discos r us page it lists a spring preload adjust (power adjuster) but also has a "stroke adjuster" that you can purchase seaport or as part of the bundle...What is this stroke adjuster?
