: How long can a springer be left cocked?
: Bullfrog31581 August 02, 2009, 03:53:44 PM

I know its not good to leave a springer cocked for long periods. So is there any amount a time I can leave my springer cocked without damaging the spring (ie 5-10 minutes even)? Or can a springer not be left cocked for any amount of time before firing? I'm curious to know for hunting purposes.

You can easily leave it cocked for 15-20 minutes without worry.

Whatshisname at Pyramid Air had an article on this quite awhile ago, - you "might" be able to find it there.

You guys should look in the GTA Library sometimes. There is a wealth of information there..

I didn't know there was a GTA library until now...

Take some time to check out our MALL and LIBRARY GTA family, there's a ton of info in the Library and Lot's of airgun stuff to spend you re money on in the MALL. :) Ed

Take a look at this. I'm not sure where I found it, but I think you'll find it good reading.
