Down goes Frazier!

Well... not frazier... But my TonTonShocker.

I've owned it exactly a year. It felt like bolt stick so I took the bolt out and greased it. Well, when I took the bolt off it was very difficult to unscrew with the allen wrench. When I put it back on, it was difficult to screw back in as well. Then it didn't go all the way and I desparately tried to lock it in when... I STRIPPED IT! So its stuck in a position that I can't get in or out. So there goes my Ton Ton till I get the bolt out. It's a good excuse to get a new HE bolt anyway.

So I went with my backup... A Nasty Impulse. I put my Reloader B on it and my tank. Mind you, I haven't done ANYTHING with this marker for 12 months. ANd my first shot was 280fps. Perfect. It ranged from 278 to 282. This marker is so fricken consistent its unbelievable. Unfortunately, my board is capped at 15bps. The vision wasn't working so I think the strip is broken which is a $30 fix. I still was able to play front and pick my shots nailing some guys with some nice snap shooting.

I had to readust my snap shots before going out. The profile of the marker is a little taller than the Shocker which meant I had to raise my barrel higher for snap shooting. It was weird at first but my old muscle retention came back and I was hitting targets with tons of accuracy.

I'll be spending about $120 on the HE bolt for my Ton Ton Shocker and the vision for my Nasty Impulse.

Today was the first time in two years that I've had to go to a backup marker.
