I'm in the market for a radar chrono. I ordered the Garmin and it works like magic, so I'm liking it pretty well. I'm still in my return window on it and am jonesing for the FX True Ballistics Chrono, as my analytical mind wants all the info I can get. But, here's the deal.
The FX doesn't have a ballistic model for pellets, (I'm guessing it will someday), so you're not going to get any kind of real data that will enable you to simply run a ballistics model and shoot the drop table and hit like you would if it had the appropriate bc model? Correct?
So, if it doesn't give me that info, then the only real gain I would have is velocity at different ranges, which is nice, but doesn't really tell me much to go on. I'd be more accurate by simply shooting a couple or three distances and calculating bc, and it would be as close as the $900 chrono.
From that premise, I have to say the Garmin looks better to me. It seems accurate compared to my old CE ProChrono light chrono, and never gives me any headaches. I know muzzle velocity and extreme spread, for tuning, and the FX wouldn't give me any more useful data?
What's the consensus?
