Ok... what distance do you chrony your gun from? May 8 2005 at 3:46 PM		(Login milehighguy) YC


I have my chrony set up 16" away from my rest, and my barrels are always 5" up from the sensors. I get my best readings on my B-4-2A's from this set up, but not from all of my rifles or pistols. What is your experience? Todd http://www.custom-springers.com

12 - 16 inches between sensors and muzzle for me...nt - Tony on May 8, 2005, 3:48 PM

Todd I set my muzzle 8" to 12" back. - Steve in CT on May 8, 2005, 3:48 PM

About the same as you, Todd. A foot and a half. nt - ricdoug on May 8, 2005, 3:49 PM

18-24" for my Chrony readings on airguns.....60" on firearms....nt - Anthony on May 8, 2005, 3:56 PM

Depending on BC, pellets lose only about 0.5% to 1% of their velocity per yard. - Steve in NC on May 8, 2005, 4:10 PM

Are the errors always on the plus side of the equation? - Milehighguy on May 8, 2005, 4:25 PM

Todd, I think it is the altitude. The chrony will give error readings if not enough light. - Anthony on May 8, 2005, 4:40 PM

Not always up. The classic counterexample is if the muzzle is too close... - Steve in NC on May 8, 2005, 4:50 PM

Thanks, Steve, I edited my post to DOWN instead of UP...transposition.....tn - Anthony on May 8, 2005, 5:00 PM

Not a bad idea at all... - Milehighguy on May 8, 2005, 6:10 PM

One issue for you, Todd, is that apparent pellet BC will be inflated... - Steve in NC on May 8, 2005, 6:24 PM

So, it appears that there is no real way to tell what MV is... - Milehighguy on May 8, 2005, 6:48 PM

Perhaps an idea? - Alfred on May 8, 2005, 6:52 PM

Is that the case? Or is the truth the exact opposite? That is to say... - Steve in NC on May 8, 2005, 7:09 PM

My question, and what I am looking for is why? - Milehighguy on May 8, 2005, 7:32 PM

Once again (copied from your other thread), this is my take... - Steve in NC on May 8, 2005, 8:27 PM

Excellent... I need to think about that.... - Milehighguy on May 8, 2005, 11:42 PM

PS: I don't think it was 37fps but more like a missing 100fps that disappointed Herb. - Steve in NC on May 8, 2005, 8:39 PM

Steve in NC..... have I offended you? - Milehighguy on May 8, 2005, 11:31 PM

Me? Offended? Nope. Just trying to understand the issues... - Steve in NC on May 8, 2005, 11:44 PM

PS: No, you're right, Todd. I need to say a bit more. - Steve in NC on May 9, 2005, 12:26 AM

I think just a bit more needs to be said... - Milehighguy on May 9, 2005, 1:29 AM

Todd, I said "100fps" because that's (approx) how much additional MV... - Steve in NC on May 9, 2005, 8:06 AM
