Chronographs & Chrony Accessories

Chronographs are essential tools for shooters of all types. These devices measure the speed of projectiles, whether pellets, BBs, bullets, or even arrows.

Why You Might Need a Chrony

• Performance Monitoring - a chronograph helps you track your shooting performance. You'll know when your gun needs maintenance if the velocity drops.
• Accuracy Verification - you can check if the manufacturer claims about their velocity is accurate for your specific gun.
• Optimizing Air Pressure - for pre-charged pneumatics (PCP) air guns, a chronograph can help you determine the ideal fill pressure for best performance.
• Multi-pump Efficiency - with multi-pump pneumatic air guns, you can determine whether additional pumps are actually increasing the velocity or just wasting effort.
• Experimentation - test different pellets, calibers, or power settings to see how they affect velocity.

How to Use a Chronograph

1. Set it up in a well-lit area, preferably outdoors.
2. Shoot through the sensors that detect the projectile's shadow.
3. Read the velocity displayed on the screen.

For Better Results

1. Use consistent lighting, such as bright sunlight or steady artificial light.
2. Keep your gun muzzle a few feet from the first sensor to avoid triggering it with the muzzle blast.
3. Consider using the included diffusers in very bright conditions.
4. A printer can be added to record your data, allowing you to focus on shooting while it logs the results.

Don't let the numbers overshadow the enjoyment of shooting. Use the data to improve your setup and better understand your equipment, but don't obsess over small velocity variations.
