FX IMPACT M3: Innovative Tuning Techniques Revealed 

Wonderful, shooting Peter, and I think your calculations are great, for your groups are excellent

hey brother you are so professional . the videos you make is realy helpful and help us alot..thank you and keep going

I do exactly this but I go one step further. When you turn in the valve adjuster you are essentially creating a back stop limiting how far the valve opens. Remember when you use that to cut the velocity you are still using a hammer spring tension creating a strike that is just as hard as the one that created the 20 fps more before you turned in the valve adjuster. IE you have more hammer strike at this point than you need. So after cutting velocity with the valve adjuster I start turning down the hammer spring 2 micro clicks at a time (why the m3 tuning system is so superior) until the velocity goes down just a bit. Once that happens I give it two clicks back up and leave it. You will be surprised how much you can actually reduce that hammer tension and keep the same velocity. Does it ultimately make a huge difference 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. I just figure it is best to work the gun no harder than necessary.

Excellent video Peter thanks for sharing. Another trick I find is not to set the plenum pressure too low. I set it at ca. 90 bar to reduce the violence in the system, but in my Mk2 - it needs to be ca 120 in order to seal effectively and consistently (even though I don’t need more than 90 bar to achieve the velocity I’m after). Looking forward to your next video

That group, though! As always, excellent video with clearly explained methods and the logic behind them. Thank you, Peter!

Great instructions. As I understand it, by using the front screw to reduce the velocity as a final step, you are getting rid of the excess air, which will cause turbulence on the back side of the slug or pellet. Thanks

There are more then one way to do things, this is one way. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Very good explanation and awesome shooting at those ranges.

Very amazing idea to control the last 15-20 fps through the valve knob. Keep going mate you are doing very well.

Nice shooting… Thanks for the real time education on the Fx impact 😎

Great shooting at a hundred yards amazing and beatiful FX.

Great video Peter. I agree, so much BS out there regarding grouping, even with the so called pros, one tried to say it was 100yds, but when he walked it he only took 75 steps & a Jack Russell dog had a bigger stride, it was closer to 50. Me, I use a scope with built-in RF so it's clear & i do sub moa with ease. My last was 13 shots 120yds in 10mph + winds. I shoot golf balls at 110yds 12/12 in strong winds & it's all on video where it's proven. When I hunt I say where I will hit the target before I take the shot, even at 150+yds & yes in the wind also. I train & practice in the wind every day. One thing I don't do is get caught up with numbers when tuning, my current tune is 10fps SD & it has precision accuracy. Low numbers do not mean precision accuracy, it just means consistent numbers. What matters is consistent precision accuracy 🙂

You are the M3 .177 MASTER😮 Well done ✔️

Great instructional video. Don’t worry about the people saying you’re a cheat. They’re the ones that probably cheat all the time ABF because they cheat, the thing everyone else cheats. Keep up te great videos.

Thank you for sharing and good shooting!

good shooting peter ,with that small caliber . respect

Is there a video on yt that shows how to tune the Dynamic/Panthera in as much clear to understand detail? This video is clear and precise. 👍🏼

I also think that front valve is under-used. I’d love to sit down for like 10 hours straight and run all the knobs and valves and test my theories. Maybe in a couple weeks I will when I have more air. I have a another 700cc/300 bar bottle and a new valve for my broken 1.6L on the way.

Thanks you have been a huge help, thanks Peter

Excelent groups 🇵🇹👍

Excelent Boos

Bel video! grazie delle informazioni che condividi, ti seguo con piacere!

Excelente!!!!

Excelente grupo parabéns 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Fx impact e fantástico!!!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this clear explanation, I was stuck with my m3. I have a .22 500mm barrel and I was tuning it for 960fps. I opened the valve all the way and then turn up the hammer tension till the fps drops again and then turn the tension back a little. Then I wind the valve in till the pressure dropped and opened it a little bit again. But my accuracy was not good, allready had a spread of 1-1.25cm at 30 meters. So I’m gonna try to tune it like you do and hopefully it will sort everything out because I’m getting really frustrated. So bad that I’m thinking to buy a Panthera but that needs to be tuned as well 😂

Lot of informations to learn on Steve’s channel but some pros use the front valve, some not…. Some pros delete the front reg and get good precision and constitency.. but happy that you find a way that your m3 get it right 👌 happy shooting 😉

very clear explanation!! Btw, can you shoot fac in Denmark without permit? Only on your own property or also in the woods? Here in The Netherlands everyone can buy fac rifle without background check or permit.

Greetings from Brazil! Congratulations on your videos, I have learned a lot from them. I would like to know the caliber you used, the weight of the projectile, and whether it was a pellet or a slug?

Thank you

Bro you dont have to prove to anyone that you are shooting at 100. Thank you for helping us with your advices. I wanted to ask you, why do you set 960 fps as a point of velocity. Why dont you keep on going up until the gun tells you. I am surrounded by you know that there is a point where velocity pauses then you have to push it up like 4-5 points so it will go up. I guess because it’s a slug right?! Thank you again…

Great instructions Peter. I have seen guys maxing out pw and hst and then reduce it a bit..what's your thoughts on this. I don't like it.. Also I can i achieve a desired fps wd 2 settings; 1. High reg pressure and moderate hammer strike 2. Low reg pressure and high hammer strike I believe that high reg pressure will shut the valve quickly and will avoid extra air..?

It would be great if i knew if you were shooting pellets or slugs,? Im guessing .177 but maybe. 22, ? What brand?. I did eventually learn that the range was 100m but it was only later. I like your videos and the research you do. Neil. Impact 5:09 .25 600mm mk2.

Hello Peter, very good video. What is your tolerance range to consider a good spread?

Much more to the point than other tuning video's thanks. Hey do you know a good place to order online FX parts in Europe ? I have a friend in Italy who can ship them to me we having nothing in Australia so hard to find and you need to wait for ever.

Great video Peter! This helps a lot. My problem though is that when following the instructions my speeds are still all over the place. I shoot with the 28gr ZAN slugs in .22. In essence I think the steps are the same but I don’t see a consistent downgrade of speed when turning down the hammer. Sometimes it’s 920 but the next moment 940 again. What are your starting settings? Or is there anybody in the chat that may have the solution for me? My 2nd reg is at 120. Aiming speed is 930. I ended up at macro on 8 and micro around 4. Valve is touching the 4th line. Any help is welcome. Just looking for consistency

Hallo peter, I always watch Your Tunnning VIdeo,. i have question, how many Consume for 1 Shoot,. Or How Many Consume for 10 Shoot (remaining gas in the cylinder) And How many Shoot and you will Clean your barrel ? Thanks Before,.. :)

That's the perfect way of tuning. Awesome. Any modifications on your regulators ?

Just bought a 25 Cal M3 sniper.can you recommend a pellet and a slug please.learning about my FX throw your video

Hi very informative video, curious to know as how to apply the same settings in maverick as there is no front valve thanx

You might try tunning at 655 then tune at 660 the 665 then 670 to see what the barrel harmonics do for 100yrd groups, we've found tunes that produced better and worse groups about every 25 to 30 fps😁

Hi I have a wildcat MK3 .177 cylinder which as no valve adjustment only hammer and the micro adjust under hammer, how do i set it up to get a low FPS spread if possible. thanks

Hej. Fin video 👍🏼 Håber du kan hjælpe mig i den rigtige retning. Jeg kigger på en mk3 i en .22 men hvilken løbslængde skal jeg gå efter. Hvor meget for men mere i en 700mm ? Jeg vil gerne kunne skyde lidt krager gerne på 200-150 m. Og så mål skydning på samme afstand.

Where do you start with your hammer tension? About mid range?

Panthera tuning guide please 😊

So If my fx m3 is standard I would have to adjust hammer wheel and the micro adjuster so that it shoots around 1111 fps then drop hammer wheel down to 980 fps then turn valve adjuster until it gets to 960fps. Why don’t you adjust micro adjuster as well?

1012 fps with your reg at 115 bar is amazing i dont think my MK2 can do that with the reg at 200 bar.

So you have to find the absolute Max velocity of that regulator setting and then bring it down 30 with the macro micro then the last 20 with the valve adjuster knob am I following you Peter?

So then is there much need for the micro wheel then?

To your experient what is the best speed for Zan 13gr on 0.177 caliber? I am currently shouting at 978-980

So if you shooting a certain weight pellet here in the uk we are governed by being sub 12 ft/lbs so we would know the fps we need but how do you know what reg pressure to start on?

What weight Zans are they?

👍👍👍

When do think the m4 will be out

Hi! Can you review call 25 pallet

Are you shooting slugs? Perhaps you said and I missed it.

You are definitely a cheater. You are cheating with your knowledge and skill as a shooter. Great videos!!! Best tuning video I've seen but I'm sure you will improve it in the future.
