The gun also needs to be built corectly also , if it's not would should go down in band thickness instead of up in shaft dia. Never cut the bands shorter to reduce power .

A overpowerd shaft is like stomping on the gas in the rain . Most of.the launch energy is wasted
Now that is useful information!
I was guilty of overpowering my guns for years when i first started. I always thought that the accuracy was compromised due to the slight bending of the barrel, or the upward flip of the muzzle. The most accurate guns that i have ever shot were the old Omers (MB 30, Master 105). They had no rail or anything, but what they did have were perfectly tuned bands.

Thanks Phil.
