tac-one issues

[pathetic]

ok so i bought a used tac-one and when i got it, i aired it up took it outside and fired off a few rounds. and i noticed from the get go that about 10-15 yards the ball would curve off where i was aiming it at. so i went and put a red/green dot on it, and made sure it was curving and not playin with my eyes. i dont know much about the tac-one other than its not supposed to do that lol. else id troubleshoot it myself. i was hoping someone could kinda point me in the right direction with this one.... as alas im slightly sad. and as much as i love my tippys and t9s i was kinda hoping to make this my primary. so if theres any threads or clues please let me know. thanks

Sounds like crappy, dimpled paint to me. Clean the barrel, size your paint to it or vice-versa and you should be good. Sorry if thats remedial to you.

not at all.... any suggestion is good. been using stinger paint.
i have the longbow set up on it. so im not sure what paint runs the best through it.

Well, i'm not familiar with the longbow, but again, check the ball size. Sounds like you'd want to go to a larger diameter (the ball is loose and just spins in the barrel).

Out of round balls will cause your problem. The larger a bore is, the less of an issue this becomes, but it still will be an issue. Stinger balls may look round, but there likely are air pockets in there with the paint being settled to one side. This makes the balls become out of balance.
