Title: Nova Freedom and Field Target
Post by: travelbike on September 25, 2018, 11:36:03 AM

I wonder how the 20 or 12 FPE limit will be enforced in Field Target when using the multipump Nova Freedom ?

The rifle can be tested to be below power threshold before start.  But how about during the competition where it is possible to overpower the rifle by pumping more ? Maybe more random checks during competition ?  Monitoring number of pumps before each shot ?  Just wondering ???

pumping the freedom more really wont give you more power,

it is a pcp after all. and will have a curve in the shot string regardless of how many times you pump.

now the power adjuster is another thing,a less than honest person could test on low power and switch to high.
