N/A Dry fire/ purging first??

[LaRueRidge]

Is it ok to dry fire or as some call it, purge your PCP before starting to shoot for accuracy? Is ok for some guns and not others?

With my Impact MkII I always take a shot or two (dry fire) before loading the magazine and commencing to shoot my target.

I‘ve done this for years with no ill effects.

Just make sure there's air in you tank! I went out after a squirrel, took a dry fire shot and heard a tank. On inspection the gun had leaked out all it's air. It damaged the valve seat and I'm still working on getting it to hold air....
