Getting "comfortable" with my Titan NP

[RevRuss]

I've shot now around 400 rounds through my Titan .22. After trying 4 different brands of pellets my gun likes to be feed RWS pellets. Also I've learned to tighten the screws on the stock every 50 shots or so or my groups will start to open up and before you know it they're all over the place. Most guns like cars,etc. have their own "quirks" and I hope I've about got this gun where it will be a accurate and consistent shooter.

This is my first .22 cal. and I love the power of this gun.
Here is some of my shooting this morning before work. 20 yards with a rest.

By the way has anyone ever heard the "theory" on what causes "flyers" when shooting a group?

I've learned a lot from this forum and am really enjoying this sport!

Great shooting, Rev.  Never heard of a 'theory' about flyers.  Do you have one?  All I truly know is I don't like them!!!  LOL

Welcome to GTA. this is a great place.

if you are tightening your screw that often, i would recommend you use a drop of Blue Loctite on the threads of each screw. make sure you let it set.

When i notice fliers its usually due to the pellet having had an abnormal skirt, but I decided to shoot it anyway(cmon, what else was I gonna due with it
 
at 400rounds, It still has some room to break in more and groups will keep on tightening up. The GRT3 trigger will tighten your groups too.

Flyers? Well... there are those you call as soon as you pull the trigger, nothing wrong with the ammo or the gun, the shooter sneezed, pulled off target etc, etc.

Then, there are the rest, which are mostly ammo issues IMO, bent skirt or other issue with the pellet. On spring guns, it could be the occasional loose stock screw or the scope starting to creep?

Feed a pellet into the titans breech, does the skirt on the rws stick out of the breech ? If so then close the breech and crack the barrel open again and look at how the skirt is deformed...

From the pictures id deff stick with the rws super h point, next time you go to order pellets try some h&n ft's and jsb's.. the jsb's fit my titans breech better then any of the 5 pellets I have on hand for testing
