Hey folks: I'm about to get into my Shadow drop targets, which are dropping slowly these days. Any hints on making these drop snappy? Is there more than just changing out the springs (both compression and extension)? Do I need to grease anything?

Thanks in advance-

Mike

Just did mine last night. Just clean all the gunk off them and reassemble, no grease though as the dirt sticks to it and gums up.

Quoted from mikeflan:

Do I need to grease anything?

No. In fact, just the opposite. You want to get rid of any grease and gunk that has accumulated over the years. I use Novus to clean my drop target mechs. It works great.

Edit: Looks like Doot77 beat me to it by 21 seconds.
