Default Couple newbi questions.

Ok i read about some of you talking about the jag when hunting. Is this the brass rod tip i got with my manual and other stuff in a bag with my triumph. I am shooting the shockwave and have been just using the end of the rod figured thats what i need to do. Will this hurt the shockwaves. Also i noticed on the tip of the rod there is a thread spot is this for a T handle to help with loading if so where can get the handle for my tc rod.

Also on the end of my butt stock where the bolt is that meets the barrel on the triumph some of the camo rubbed off the end not sure if it was there when i got it or it it did it going through the woods. Is this arust issue or is the stock synth. and no worries. Any way to make sure it does not get worst. There is no scratch just missing camo.
Also is the barrel on the triumph free float can it be made to be. I noticed when i removed the paper from around the barrel the front stock bolts to the barrel so is there no need to trim the stock to free float the barrel.

I use a jag,others don't.Are you getting good groups?
Your TC most likely came with a quality rod.
My favorite that I got for my encore is the power rod or you could use a T handle.

Don't buy the power rod attatchment.JUNK
Buy the power rod itself.

Cant help you with the other questions

Thanks.
It seems to be grouping good. I eitherget inch group ir 3 shots all over the place. Though i think it is me not the gun like i get nervous when i am on a target. I can split a pumpkin all day but when it comes to hitting the target dead on i screw it.
