Q: Are you qualified to tune my airgun?
A: All tuning and repairs are done by people who have been working on airrifles for many years. We have been appointed by big names like Weihrauch to do their tuning, so we are not a fly by night operation. All engineering work is done by fully qualified professionals. Honesty, quality and service are what drive our business.

Q: Will a tune affect the pellet velocity of my airgun?
A: Yes and No. It depends on the type of tune. If you want us to increase the power, you'll see a definate improvement. But, on a standard tune, some guns may see a slight increase in velocity and some may see a decrease. The thing we'll try to achieve is consistency. We try to make the gun shoot exactly the same every time. To do this, we tighten up the tolerances of the moving parts inside the power plant. This causes more friction which may cause a loss in velocity. But ask yourself,   does a paper target care if it is hit at 700 fps or 750 fps? The answer is no. You want the pellet to hit the same point every  time. This can not be done with a loose and inconsistent gun. Ask yourself again, does small game care if it is taken with a pellet traveling at 800 fps or 950 fps? The answer again is no. You want the pellet to hit the vital organ you are aiming for.

The numbers on a chronograph that really mean something are Extreme Spread and Standard Deviation. Velocity means nothing if it is not consistent. Accuracy is everything.
