How much hop do you put on your BAR.

Personally I sight in my scope with my .40 bbs flying perfectly straight and then I adjust my hop lever just a click so when I look into my mil dot scope the bb's rise up to my first mil dot in my scope.


So what do you do?

I personally like a little bit of overhop. Not too much. Just enough to where, if the target's a little bit further than I expected, the overhop is enough to push the bb that extra distance. At the same time, there isn't so much overhop as to where the bb flies over the target if he turns out to be exactly where I expected or a little closer.

So, in terms of distance, I guess I center my scope around 125-150 ft. with overhop, and any further, there's a relative amount of lobbing.

When the bb is just at the max distance it will hop up a little bit and then drop. This way I can keep the bb going nice and straight through the entire shot.

Well, I estimated around 1E7 rpm at one point...

I have it as flat as possible, but so that at the very end it flicks up a little bit.

same as lulukchoo23, I have all my guns overhop just a bit, for that extra range...

though I'm going to try the flat-end-hop thingy when my R-hop comes in.


....damn postal service takes too damn long....gah

I like my bbs to go flat but with a slight flick upwards so that when the bb starts to drop it goes upwards for a little extra range!

As far as I can push it so the trajectory can be as flat as possible. A slight rise at the end is also good for added distance.

I like mine were it is shooting a little high like almost everybody else said.

i used to overhop my bbs when I used a 500 fps setup to try to maximize my range. Now I have tried to suppress my gun as much as possible (fps is 430 now with .2s). Now I do not hop them as much. I keep the rounds going straight but not up in the air if you know what I mean. Out to 150 ft the round is flat then it drops. I learned to estimate distance based on my 4x scope mildots. Once you know your distance very well you can be disciplined enough to wait till your kill walks to you.
