First time playing with my Spyder Xtra today at the field. I had an anti-syphon tube installed in my tank, as well as putting on a palmers stabilizer. As i understand it takes about 2-3k shots to "break in" the regulator, should I be experiencing velocity changes of 10 fps or more? My friends stock spyder with an expansion chamber, no anti-syphon, I believe a compact, one of the basic models, was getting WAY more consistant shots. Something wrong here? Btw as far as breaking in the regulator goes, is dry firing bad? As during the break I could just shoot up a tank or more as we get free air all day with a pass. All help appreciated people. TIA Jon
