how many pumps for a typical shot
1887556
3 or 4 pumps for target shooting. 5 or 6 pumps for shooting pests. I almost never go up to the 8 pumps that is suggested by manufacturer. You'll have to experiment with your rifle to see what is necessary for your type of shooting.

I use four for close range, max is eight. Three is great for indoor shooting. Different pellet weight make a differance also. All trial and error.

3-4 pumps is sufficient for plinking, and will fire the pellet accurately to 25 yards. Max is 8 and will drop small game 40-50 yards out with a well placed shot. Remember to store with 1 pump.

It is accurate with 3 pumps but I shoot all day pumping it 5 times for each shot. The manual states 8 is the maximum number of pumps. This is the first gun I pick up when I go plinking.

One pump will eject a pellet. Five pumps will eject it super fast. Try a few shots at different pumps and you will see the difference. It is hard to pump after 5 pumps. The docs state you can pump it 8 times. I find that hard to do. How many pumps for a typical shot? 3 or 4.

You can have a lot of fun with just two pumps at shorter range. That's what I usually do in my garage shooting paper targets offhand at around 20 feet. If you pump up to 8 times you'll get more power but it's very loud, and makes a good crack. That is really only necessary if you are shooting longer distances or are going after pests. Plus, it will wear out your arm very fast as it's a bear to pump that many times. And watch where you hold it when pumping; you can mash your fingers if not careful.

If you sight-in using 8 pumps, your point of impact will be different if you pump the rifle 4 times. If you pump the rifles 4 times, and then shoot at 40 yards, you'll see the pellet it the dirt on the way to the target. If you shoot at something really close (with 8 pumps) you'll likely miss because the point or aim & point of impact (POA & POI) are different. Good luck.

Just one. Very small bottle. If you buy the large 16oz bottle, it does not come with a pump as shown, so use it to refill your tiny spray bottle.

Depending on how rapidly you fire and the outside temperature... I've got a variable number of shots. Usually about 25-27.. low of about 21, high of about 32.

The instruction book says not to do more than 10 pumps. Anything more is not more effective.

I actually don't know yet. We have not finished a bottle. We pump 4 times and that seems to be plenty for each use. No need to over spray.

You need to pump it with every shot, it's a variable pump air rifle meaning you pump it to determine the amount of air pressure in the reservoir which will determine the power. In my experience 3 shots gets the pellet out, 5-7 shots for your normal plinking, and 10-11 pumps maximum if you're doing any hunting or pest control.

This won't be the one for you, then. lt makes, at the most, two shots at a time. It's a great machine though.

Only 1 pump per shot. I don't think it's even possible to pump it again, but if you did it wouldn't really do anything. At 1100 fps, how much more velocity do you need?

Yes. The machine comes preprogrammed for single and double shots and will stop when the preset amount is reached. You can also reprogram the settings yourself. I found that this was required initially, as the amount was slightly off, and you may need to do it again a couple weeks later as the pump gets broken in.

My son says at ten pumps it gets hard to pump, but I don't know what the official limit is.

It is a single shot. You put the pellets in the chamber 1 at a time. It only needs to be cocked and a pellet put in the chamber. No pumping, no CO2. Very accurate and relatively powerful. I am very happy with it.

Yes that means you're using too much. You just want one or two pumps, at the roots.

For shoulder length/thin hair I would use 1 pump. But if you have thick hair 3 pumps.

I agree 10 pumps max. If that doesn't do it, you bought the wrong item for your usage.

I generally add 1 pump (0.25 oz) per 8 oz but if you like it extra sweet I would add 2 pumps (0.5 oz) max.
