I did everything you mentioned this isn't the first time out with the Axiom that's why I was coming here to see if I did something wrong or if my machine has an issue. The previous time I went out with a group there was my Axiom, my friends Axiom, an SDC2300, GPX6000 and a gold monster 1000 not only did it run quietly we were hitting targets that weighed 1 grain it's on video, all the other times I've been out with the Axiom it has been by myself.
