OK gentlemen, I'm finished. I borrowed an old spring, possibly from an Alpha Trooper, and doubled up the spring on the Modulus-NF. Now we're talkin' boys. The Venturi makes a HUGE difference on the NF when combined with the right amout of spring power.

Now it's interesting that the Venturi Nite Finder, and my modded classic Nite Finder "Wild Thing" have about the same ranges. But the Venturi version is much more consistent. I should add that I squared off the end of the barrel because I've always suspected that the highly angled exit point affects the dart trajectory due to uneven air exit velocities (you know, just another one of my grassy knoll theories).

But it's also interesting that the sound of the modified FireStrike and the sound of the modded Modulus-NF (both with Venturis) are quite different. The FireStrike makes a low pop. The Nite Finder makes a shrill crack. The FS is quite pleasant, the NF not so much.

Anyway, I did achieve my goal. True 70+ foot level ranges, with excellent consistency, assuming you're using good darts. Elites, um yeah, they suck in both.

Best part, I didn't use any exotic materials or techniques. Anybody here could reproduce this and get the same results. I encourage you to try it !

Nerf on my friends.
