One Weird Trick

[Collier]

Have you seen those ads?  Whiten your teeth, flatten your belly, develop world class bodybuilder muscles with one weird trick.  Never clicked on one, but I have my own weird trick for my Crosman Titan.  It is bone stock, and has always been a so-so shooter.  Switched to RWS Meisterkugelm pellets, and that helped.  In a recent thread, guys talked about removing the muzzle brake and had their accuracy improve.  For my gun, I had to move the brake as far out as possible.  This gun always seem to shift POI from day to day.  Finally tried a homemade "Sims Deresonator" made from a Limb Saver that no longer stuck to my bow's limb.  The gun shot tighter groups right away.  Last time I shot the gun, it would easily keep 10 shots in the inner 1/2" of an Birchwood Casey 1"orange target dot.  I have been too busy to shoot my airguns for a few weeks, but I got them out today.  Was shocked when the Titan put the first shot right on the little 1/8" diamond in the middle of the dot.  Four shots later, I had a group that was less than 1/8" center to center.  I know, accidents will happen right?  Still, if this weird trick can help anyone else get better accuracy out of their Titan, I thought I would share the story.

Not as weird as you may think!!! Myself and a couple of others on here are experimenting with the same style deresonators that you are talking about and so far have shown great results when placed in just the right spots!

Thanks for sharing this as now we have more proof that this is an effective way of reducing shot groups!

Not crazy at all. But understand that when you find the right place on the barrel for best results, it probably wont be the same if you use different pellets. Not only placement position, but size and weight and density,etc. of the deresonator itself, will show varying results.

DAMPENING OUT RESONATION IS PART OF GETTING A GUN TO SHOOT. Didn't mean to shout. That fits nicely into the category of try everything AND BE HAPPY WHEN something clicks. "dang" cap lock!

Airguns want to shake themselves and when you get them to stop rattling around they shake the air charge. Nature of the beast is to be buzzing something with all the aerodynamic internals going on, springs and things. We always are managing forces and when we push hard the forces are greater. The most accurate AG's must be ridgid so they don't transfer the resonation into inaccuracy. That is why we use massive structure and hardware.

I put heat shrink tubing on mine and it is noticeably different. just for $4

Lots of neat tricks using rubber and soft plastic that I am looking at now! Both inside and outside of the rifle such as rubber buffers between the forestock and compression cylinder where the screws are, both inside and out. Also looking at using some type of tough rubber washers on the trigger guard and main screw there as well. I will keep you all updated.

To have a PRO say it is good means we are certainly on the right track here.

I agree that was very cool, and for the record, Timmymac, I am extremely happy with the accuracy of my $99 refurb Titan!
