So............ No solvents? Just dry patching? Thanks.
Lots of good info here. Thanks. I just watched the video on the artillery hold, however, and I'm thinking that these kinds of guns are way too picky for me. Very pellet sensitive, very hold sensitive, etc. I'll probably ask for some help in another thread on tuning my new Titan, but my optimism that I'll ever get it shooting like I want is waning. You have to start somewhere, I guess, so at least I've headed down the road.

You have to start somewhere, I guess, so at least I've headed down the road.I think that you will find that air guns are not as hold sensitive and pellet picky as some of the perfectionist shooters on this forum. Don't look for 5 shots into one hole at 50 yards from the start. Some definitions of good shot groupings are apparently based on olympic class skills; doable only after years of practice.Don't prejudge the Titan, and just have fun with it..
Thanks Ken I will try. Actually I do try to time the trigger release at the same point in the pulse-swing. However the shot is usually a surprise along the squeeze (good, right?), so still have to work on coordinating with the rhythm. I find that the lighter the hold the less the pulse, but it's still the biggest wiggle source.Another noob question: I print targets off the web using normal paper, and hang them in front of a home-made pellet trap. However the pellets often don't cut round holes, in fact sometimes they are slots or checkmark shaped. This can make the groups look bigger as well as messing up the aim point. The pellet trap is filled with duct seal, and the embedded shots show that the pellets aren't flying sideways. So the paper must be tearing rather than punching.I don't want to use wadcutters. Is there any special "target paper" that punches cleanly?
