Arrow Rifle - Aiming down?

[jonny75904]

Okay, been getting my javelin pro dialed in, it's getting fairly close. There's a problem - I shoot downwards from an elevated position, and the arrows slowly slide off the barrel at the slightest declination angle.

I have no idea what to do about this. Help!

You could either try wrapping a rubber band or some electrical tape around the base of the barrel where the arrow seats. Just enough to make it snug that it doesn't slide off.

yes maybe a o ring on the bottom air tube might help..

When you're getting groups like that, pick different spots on your target to aim at. Air bolts and airgun arrows are a bit pricey to continue to Robin Hood them. It's cool for the "wow" factor one time. That is unless that's what you wish to do with you money.

Or a little silicone grease smeared on the end of the barrel where the arrow butts up against to add just a little bit of resistance.
