Chronograph

[Jcalder]

Just got a chronograph. It's a crony f-1. We tested it with a bb gun. Seems to be finicky indoors. Any tips from y'all that use chronographs that'll benefit me and help have accurate readouts.

never used one indoors you have to have special lighting

out doors only for me cloudy no sunshade needed

10 feet from muzzle

and dont shoot it

I got the f1 ..it has to have special lighting indoors ..best to use it outside..

To get it to work I used a lamp and shined the lights over the shades. That really helped. Playing with a BB gun I was wanting to kinda get familiar with it before wasting ammo. I appreciate y'all's help. And DA, shooting it is my biggest concern lol

If you take it outside and mount it on a typical tri-pod, start thinking about some way to stop it from tipping over. the shades are like sails.

And don't worry, you will shoot it.

Thanks DaveB. I can see that posing a problem.

i messed mine up real bad 44 special snub nose 300 gn xtp over max blue dot

80 some odd dollars later it was all good


the most fun with it was shooting with it at cheatham range

" whats that their fancy thing u are shootn thru"

and the besst is when muzzel blast from 300 rum blows the sun shades off

" he shot the dang thing" or " omg he blew it up"

Oh yeah,forgot. You can blow the sunshades off with muzzle blast. And of course, most of the time they whole tripod is tipping over and you have the great joy of watching the whole thing crash to the ground. I use little tent pegs to stake the tripod down now.

Paint the shade arms bright orange, it actually helps.
