I did not recieve the manual when I bought my FX Black Widow. Where can I find one?
Also, everywhere I read that the power level is adjustable, but the previous owner says no. Who is correct? And if it is, how do I do it? How low fps wise can I go before losing acuracy, or running into trouble with mechanics if it is possible?
Thanks,
Jerry

Go to Airguns of Arizona's site here: http://www.airgunsofarizona.com/ On the sidebar on the left, scroll down to "Owner's Manuals". Click on that and scroll down to FX. In the selection of manuals, you will see one for the Tarantula. It's a downloadable pdf file.
The power is adjustable, but you have to take the stock off to do it. No big deal. It's done by adjusting a very small setscrew on the air cylinder. I have no Idea how low you can adjust the power, since I'm more interested in going the other way. If you decide to play around with the power, you will need access to a chronograph so you can tell what you are doing.
The manual tells you how to adjust the power, but like I said, you need a chrono to know exactly what you are doing.

Thanks for the link and info, exactly what I was looking for! It will be low, but not for too long, I'm just mainly interested in seeing the rifle operate and how it does across the board power wise, and maybe low for shooting indoors for noise reasons.
Yes, I will find a chronograph, I've been reloading my centerfire based solely on grouping, so it will be nice to "get out of the dark" with everything!
Thanks again, I'm headed to AoA now.
