John,
I replied to a similar thread titled "To Detune or Not?". You may want to read that reply for more details.
Basically you need to learn to let the gun 'travel' when it is fired. You must support the gun and keep it aligned with the target with out impedeing it's back and forth motion.
When you shoot the gun do not hold it tight. The tighter you hold it the more it will torque which causes it to jump. If you gently hold the gun it will move back when you release the trigger and forward when the spring and top hat reach the end of the spring guide. If the gun is stabilized so it does fall during this motion, but allowed to travel it will stay aligned with the target and your groups will tighten up. Only use enough grip, and or preasure to keep the gun upright and aligned with the target.
Once you get a feel for this you will enjoy shooting your viper and have fun instead of frustration.
Wow! I learned something. Thanks for sharing the great advice. I can hardly wait to get home and try it out.
Ron
