Well last night I modded one of my SM1500's. I plugged the OP valve and singled it using copper, yes I just said copper. After this I took 5 random stefans and tested them in my 100' accurately measured driveway. I aimed it level to ground and fired all shots. Each went halfway across the street which is about 20' wide. I was wondering if these ranges are common for singled SM1500's or not. I'm not bragging, I was just surprised.

The average range was about 112'.

Don't want to shove balls in tight spaces. Trust me, bad idea.

I'm pretty sure that's standard range for a singled SM1500. One of the reasons why people love useing them as primaries.

Mine has 4 PVC barrels and it gets around 80 with 4 pumps. I'm planning to replace all my PVC mods this summer with brass. So yours seems right, its my favorite primary by the way.

Would that in some cases, make the range negative? :) (Talking about post count)

I used to get 90-130 feet with mine, depending on how good my dart fit was, which 1500 I used, etc. I was probably arcing it, but not unreasonably, when hitting 130.

Edit: which I suppose means the dart lands 721 feet behind me, which would be Awesome.
