285, 286, 285, 284, 285, 284 feet per second. We repeated
the ten-shot string four more times and averaged 285 feet
per second with a low shot of 283 and a high of 288. Very
consistent indeed.

Deception is compared to other markers, but we can say

a high end “crack” is what you should expect with the
Deception. Spool valve designed markers are generally
