Clockwise verses Anti-clockwise.

[Waisted]

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

[tinbum]

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

[robs5230]

+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.
