Stefan Weight Question

My darts were doing that spiral type thing and landed at around 35-60 feet depending on the gun. These ranes aren't good.
Then I used some 1/4" slingshot ammo and the same thing happened.
I am wondering what is going on?
When the dart spirals like that does that mean that the gun's force is too much for the dart causing it to go out of its path?
Thanks

Any number of factors could cause this, but I don't think it is weapon power.

About the Stefans:
What method did you use to straighten the FBR? I heard that they shrink and the density can be messed up if you use a clothes dryer.

The problem is if you go too hot (Cotton -- Regular setting) the FBR will actually melt and then shrink and you can't make darts out of it if you wanted to. I use the Medium setting.

My darts are fine, they are striaght, holes centered, not slanted.
It's just the weight of the dart.
Do I need to add more?
Because 1/4 slingshot are pretty heavy....

1) spiral vertically, meaning the darts flip end-over-end, but actuallt move straight from the gun
2) corkscrew, meaning that the darts spiral out of the gun in a way that the path seems circular or cylindrical to the shooter.
That will help you figure out what to do with the darts.

I also did the NF super spring mod using the springs from Home Depot that are just a little longer than the NF's spring. Then, I added a 6" CPVC barrel and bored it out a little because my darts were a bit tight. I also did this mod to another NF. They get the same results. I shoot them across my living room and down the hallway (about 50 feet) and there is almost no perceivable drop. Sometimes the darts shoot up a little.
One day I'm going to make longer barrels for those NFs and see if they'll perform better. If I do that any time soon, I'll let you know the best length.
