No problems as far as the competitions are concerned as you are allowed to use any power source either pneumatic, spring or C02 providing the output of the rifle does not exceed 12ft/lbs. But can you suggest a better set up with maybe a thermostat etc? Thanks Dungy

Hi, im new to the forum and need some help with a project im attempting. My hobby is target shooting with air rifles and i have been playing around with a C02 powered gun. The problem with C02 as a power source is it is temperature unstable and will give varying power outputs depending on the outside temperature. My idea is to keep the C02 receiver at a constant 20 odd deg which seems to be a good average temperature the gun works at by using a heating coil powered by a rechargeable battery which i can hide in the wooden stock. The battery would be switchable and as an average competition lasts around 45mins i could turn the heater on 10 mins before the start and then off as i finish. Spare battery packs would enable me to shoot numerous competitions during the day. What sort of elements would be suitable and where can i obtain them? Can anyone tell me if this is practical? Thanks, Dungy
