    Clockwise verses Anti-clockwise.

    Can the torque of a spring wether it is clockwise or anti-clockwise effect the pull or recoil of a spring airrifle?

    Yes, torsional recoil can be seen easily when using a scope. A top hat with slip washer helps counter this.

    +1 for that. Exactly as Nick says.
    I always use a slip washer on the top hat and a power washer on the guide to minimise this.

    Clockwise twist for Northern hemisphere shooters, anti-clockwise for Southern.
