    How accurate is your chronograph?

    Not a bad question! Ageing of the timing crystal occurs, however most ageing occurs in the first year & then logarithmically drops off. You can also "pre-age" the crystals so this helps to reduce that factor. Does your device contain a 1year old or pre-aged crystal? (good luck finding that out)...

    How accurate is your chronograph?

    True... but... I know of more than a couple bench rest people that are expecting (assuming?) that if a Chronograph reads xxx fps, then its accurate to 1fps - which may *not* be the case. If the Chronograph readings are jumping +- 2-3 fps, that's a spread of 5fps & something that a lot of people...

    How accurate is your chronograph?

    Radars are also interesting - i *think* doppler radar may be more accurate as velocities increase, larger frequency shift allows more time to count. But then its decelerating... but you can add maths to correct that. Ask the manufacturer for testing & results.... I saw a post where Garmin say...

    How accurate is your chronograph?

    (a thread i put up elsewhere) Some cals to understand what we're working with: Speed - lets use 1000fps Sensor distance - 80mm (standard NateChrony) At 1,000fps it takes 0.000262467 seconds to travel between the sensors. That's 262.4671916 Microseconds, or millionths of a second. For every...

    How accurate is your chronograph?

    (full disclosure - i make chronographs) My devices have (this week) got back from the Australian National Measurements Institute - so I have traceability on those "master" chronographs. From those master Chronys I calibrate every chronograph I sell, so you know that the readings mine give are...

    AEA Prices US vs Europe, holy moly

    I've been in the industry for about 6 months & displayed at the british shooting show & also IWA - so can speak a little to pricing. Its an awful industry to be in - absolute scoundrels everywhere to say the least. Intellectual property theft is RIFE, barely anyone wants to work "with" you &...

    Using the Chrony

    True! 12v supplies will almost always be PWM - be careful, batteries (& a resistor/diode) would always be the best bet. The cheap work lights used to be perfect when i used my old chrono - just had to find cheapies that didnt flicker

    Using the Chrony

    Maybe not if you're pushing close to trans sonic speeds. If you're seeing 900fps at 10ft - *maybe* its over 1,000 at the muzzle & causing a lot of instability as it leaves the barrel before settling. You're 100% correct that once you're in a good spot or adjusting from a known tune you'll be...

    Using the Chrony

    careful here - you need to make sure the LEDs are not driven by a PWM circuit (i.e. pulsing on/off really fast). Really cheap ones can be better - as cheaper ones can have less circuitry etc & be a little more wasteful on how they moderate the power. Also depending on the Chrony - it could be...

    We ship worldwide & have been shipping orders for over 3 months now (including the US) We are also currently offering it through Pyramydair - but its drop shipped from Aus currently.

    Yes that was my stand - odd the video you linked didnt get to my stand, as i was opposite BSA! Seems to have had his back to me for 20min & didnt turn around. Note: It is NOT a moderator (which are highly illegal here in Australia...) - just a tube. Russ did a vid here with me at the BSS:

    Pyramid Air

    In terms of shows... I have some perspective on those... Yes - the cost is significant as an exhibitor to go to one. Its at least a $3k USD investment for the booth at a show typically. Should you go to a show? Think of it as an investment into the community.... As a small & new manufacturer...

    Chronograph distance

    +1 for muzzle they *can* be impacted by blast - even on air rifles. Things like the graphite lube, or lots of crud out of a moderator may cause incorrect readings or start to foul it so it doesnt read at all - or erratically, so cleaning/maintenance of anything barrel mounted will eventually be...

    Best chronograph for PCP

    How do you want to use it? Each have their own trade-offs.... Radars - $$$, are sensitive to environment & setup, you may not be able to just unpack it & get going - you could be getting interference & get lots of dud readings. Some also require additional parts to make them work with air...

    Pyramid Air

    Different perspective... I'm a seller on the Pyramyd Marketplace. My interactions with them have been EXCEPTIONAL - every single person I've dealt with (including randomly reaching out to the President) has been really passionate & proactive. I've been able to get responses from them within 1-2...

    I've been failing for over a year with the NateChrony ;) New guns, new barrel profiles keep bringing surprises!

    N/A random drop in FPS?

    What temperatures we talking? How dry is your air? If its snowy & that cold, maybe a droplet of moisture got in a reg or something....

    N/A random drop in FPS?

    Maybe some crud blocking the hammer that cleared out? looks like 810fps down to 610fps or so... Assuming same power, that would be like going from a 25gr to 40gr slug/pellet... no way you would not notice a pellet that large! Excessively small pellet? would've been louder... Excessively large...

    Chronograph, what’s your opinion?

    I have one.. SUCH a PITA to use if you dont have the exact environment... Issues with lighting - sensitive to *some* LED lights... fluoro lights cause issues Go to a range here - you *HAVE* to have everything on the bench & cannot be removed without range approval, you also have to hit the...
