Get a Chrony ?

[Ohplnkr]

I've been an AGer for quite a while. I shoot pretty often and really enjoy the hobby and a pretty good Springer shooter. I've even tuned and repaired my guns. My question is....is it really rewarding to get a Chrony and does it make the shooting experience more enjoyable?..I know the advantages of knowing fps and ft/lbs, but is it a worthwhile investment for a non competitor type shooter?......Ya know what, forget these questions. I think I'm going to use some Stimulus$ And go ahead and get one. Thanks for hearing me out

Talked you into it buyin', didn't we?

 

[ctshooter]

You made a good choice - I don't see how you can really "tune" any airgun without a chrony to test your results.

They dont cost much. And are invaluable to tuning/troubleshooting. No question/debate

Even if you aren’t looking to tune your gun to compete with it’s important to know a guns baseline FPS. That way if accuracy ever drops you can look to see if the FPS is still consistent and narrow down potential problems.

I kicked the gravel around for sometime & got one last week now its time to use it . BTW what one do you plan on getting ?

 

[Ohplnkr]

The Competition Electronics...probably from PA.

Totally worth it. Can help diagnose when a Spring is tired, or any other issues. As long as the gun is consistent there’s no reason to mess with it. But if you see weird speeds, then it’s time to investigate.

Airguns without a chrony. Its like being hot and bothered or satified and worried. Your choice.

They are great for tuning PCP’s but I’m in the dark on how it works for a springer?...

 

[PumaCarl]

They work for springers by letting you know how pellets do after cleaning or a modification and if the performance of your gun is actually changing or not. Additionally you use them to enter data into Strelok and know the trajectory data for each new pellet you use, right up front. While all this is good to know, they are an absolute necessity for PCP where you can check for regulator creep and bell curve tuning. It would be so frustrating and time consuming to not have a chrony that I wouldn't even enjoy the sport now, without one. Money well spent.

I had a chronograph long before I got into air guns. For powder burners you can determine how consistent a particular ammo lot # is. For break barrels by knowing the velocity you can use a ballistic calculator to come up with a dope card.

I expect certain pellets produce more consistent velocities, and the chrono might help disclose a seal issue?

That's one of the nice thing about the FX chrony...

I think having a chrony (or having access to one) make sens.

• It's good to know the velocity of a given airgun
• It's good to double-check the velocity of a given airgun every so often, it will let you know that everything is OK. Or of there's a velocity drop, that something is NOT ok.

I ordered on to tune my Marauder after i do the full Hill modifications to it.
