Cutting the Main/Striker spring to correct velocity-

You must have a chrono handy or you'll never get dialed in(either you'll cut too much off or not enough).

Screw the velocity screw in about halfway (or less) to allow room to increase/decrease velocity as conditions change. Less - to allow for increases as the spring wears.

Start by cutting a single coil off of the spring. Check the velocity.

Next take more off the spring, this time only cutting a half or quarter coil off.

Check after every cut and stop once you reach the desired velocity.

Hey Boss, I am very surprised that you don't have a Section in the FAQ for this!

Adjusting velocity -
Increase Velocity: Using the proper allen wrench (the larger allen key in the parts kit) turn the velocity screw (in the plug on the rear, lower chamber of the marker) clockwise (so that it pushes into the marker).
Decrease Velocity: Using the proper allen wrench turn the velocity screw counterclockwise so that it moves outwards.

(Just FYI stuff I didn't see in the Faq, not everyone's got a manual).
