Are the errors always on the plus side of the equation? May 8 2005 at 4:25 PM		(Login milehighguy) YC
Response to Depending on BC, pellets lose only about 0.5% to 1% of their velocity per yard.

What I mean to say is, does low light or some other variable cause low readings as well? My B18 reports to be about 50 fps low when compared to the chrony #'s that came with it when I had it tuned. I attributed the lower MV to altitude but I suppose it could be low light or some other variable. I see the same behavior with my RWS 94. What, other than altitude, would explain this?

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
