Many Daystate owners also find great benefit in joining the Official Daystate Owners Club where they can share and learn tips owning and using Daystate air rifles.

Important Power & Performance Information
The performance of each Daystate air rifle is checked before leaving the factory to ensure it meets the required level of consistency and power output for its intended market.
Where a slingshot system is fitted, it is normal for a slight rise and fall in velocity/power as the rifle progresses through its air charge, the test is undertaken at the rifle’s optimum working pressure (OWP). This is not the same as the fill pressure indicated on the rifle’s breech block, but around 40 BAR below (dependent on model), where the rifle’s output will be at its highest on the ‘power curve’. When it has a full charge of air, your rifle’s power could, therefore, be slightly lower than this Test Sheet shows, though this will not significantly affect its downrange performance.
Never fill the rifle with more than the safe working pressure (SWP) indicated on its breach. See the Official Handbook (www.daystate.com/handbooks) for instructions on charging with compressed air.
AIR RIFLE LAW: England, Wales and Scotland
In England and Wales, it is illegal for an unlicensed air rifle to be capable of exceeding 12ft/lbs of muzzle energy with any pellet, otherwise, it is classed as a Section One Firearm for which a Firearms Certificate (FAC) is legally required. The same power limit applies in Scotland, although you must hold a Scottish Air Weapon Licence to use a sub-12ft/lbs air rifle.
Like all UK airgun manufacturers, Daystate calibrates the power of each non-FAC air rifle to ensure it is safely under the legal limit using commonly available pellet brands. While your rifle’s power output will be over 11ft/lbs at its optimal working pressure with the brand of pellet recommended in the official handbook, other brands of pellet may produce lower power output.
If you are in any way concerned about your rifle’s power, contact the dealer from where you purchased it.
