figgy Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) I'll ask my Mrs to get me one for Christmas. At least then I can't shoot it. Edited November 15, 2019 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyve started supplying them with a muzzle bracket so it fits like the combro. Ive been using mine fitted to a high end tripod with the rifle on the bipod and rear bag to keep it in the same place but the muzzle bracket will work great. Just need to find the best possition for radar return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I've seen them on all sorts of silencers so they must work ok. Wonder what the MK2 will be able to do. Can it give you the reading to target ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did today and noticed the odd one going faster that others. The FPS spread was as high as 16fps from slowest to fastest. Tried them at a target and they grouped ok in the wind we have. The jsb express were quick and seemed accurate enough at 25m. Bit more testing required, at least I've got a FPS figure now for strelock pro. Was this on just one rifle? It could be down to the head sizes you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a couple of different possitions from the muzzle as it will fluctuate everytime unless you find the best place and keep it there every time you chrono it. 2x different chrony possitions for each string on my brocock bantam sniper hr. It changes alot....... all these were un weighed H&N Barracuda match 4.52mm.

figgy Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Hmm you expect the same everytime no matter where as it's a radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arron yeates Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 You would but it relies on radar return. Have a youtube of it and it will make more sense, i think tge radar only works 6 inches across and 8 inches infront or visa versa, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 That sound kind of a useless tool to me How can u have any faith in the readings accuracy if it changes significantly when moved 2 inches .? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 My thoughts too, I thought it tracked the pellet out to a good distance. Seems no better than a chrombro mk4 but costs three times the price. I might wait and see what happens with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arron yeates Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Totally agree. Does show more on the app as the combro but yes very similar. I have both and prefer the fx chrony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Have you got the Bluetooth cable for the chrombro supposed to be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaman Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 I can’t get the crombo to work on FAC air keeps giving different readings , very low and very high , but spot on for sub12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a cable for the combro but could never get it to work, and needed plugging into a laptop. I prefer the ease of the fx chrony to the smart phone. It tracks all your shots works it all out, saves the shot strings, you can adjust the radar return sensetivity, and calibre and power ratings so will work on bb guns to fac rated. You can barrel moubt it or tripod mount it. 46 minutes ago, villaman said: I can’t get the crombo to work on FAC air keeps giving different readings , very low and very high , but spot on for sub12 Fx chrony deff works on FAC mate Edited November 16, 2019 by Arron yeates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
