However, on the 9th shot the nice lady said nothing. And the display on my phone didn’t change. Oh — I’ve seen this before. The chronograph didn’t record that shot! Sure enough when the 10th pellet went out the spout the chrono thought it was shot number nine and recorded it that way. The app records speed, custom profiles, calibres and gives multiple readouts depending on what you require. Store and save your data, or export it to use in other programs. The App can call out the numbers as you shoot, so no need to take your eye off your target. When I tested the same rifle and pellet at the same power level in September 2019 the average was 941 f.p.s. and the spread went from a high of 958 down to 933 — a 25 f.p.s. difference. Based on just that we see that the two chronographs agree closely. But I will still test them together in the future. I like this chrono! It should be pretty obvious in the first picture how this chronograph is mounted. It clamps directly on your gun’s barrel. What about pistols? We’ll explore that later.

IMPORTANT - .177 SHOOTERS - FOR BEST RESULTS PLACE THE CHRONOGRAPH 2 INCHES / 51MM FROM THE MUZZLE. The placement from promotional photos of the chronograph on the scope or a distance from the muzzle does not work in .177. Airgunners want to know the velocity and power coming out of their rifle. This is especially important with FX Airguns that allow the ability to tune, change calibers, and change barrel liners. You do require a Smart Phone, which is up to date in the last few years to run the app that connects to the unit. We have a team of expert technicians and a complete repair shop that are able to service a large variety of brands/models of airguns.Once the app was installed (it took only a minute) I followed the online directions and was set up in less than three minutes. So, the total time it took to get this chronograph up and running breaks down like this: Configure and use the FX Chronograph as a stand alone or connect it to your phone / tablet for the ultimate in control and versitility. The chronograph itself is a wireless radar-based chronograph. It communicates via Bluetooth to either your smart phone or the FX Chrono-graph Display (sold separately). The app (available for both iOS and Android) does more than just show the feet per second of the projectile. It allows users to store multiple rifle profiles, shows shot strings, standard deviations, extreme spreads and much more. This chronograph needs three AAA batteries. They fit inside a battery compartment that’s held shut by a single screw. Replacing that screw was the hardest thing I did during the setup. The True Ballistic Radar Chronograph measures actual speeds at four different velocities readings from 0 – 300 yrds to determine actual ballistic coefficient using G1/G7 drag models. This provides actual data in your conditions, info that provides the difference between a hit and a miss. What’s it worth to you to hit your target? Use the on board display or connect to the FX Radar app to get more out of the ballistic data.

In the chronograph world, you really only have two options: The expensive complicated units that give you most of what you need, but cost far too much, or the cheaper models that are outdated, not very portable, are light sensitive/dependent, and often break easily.The chronograph market has traditionally been dominated by optical models (Caldwell, CED, Chrony, Combro, ProChrono) that use the shadow cast by a projectile shot over a pair of light sensors to measure its velocity. As anyone who has used one knows, function depends entirely on having the right kind of ambient light and shooting over the chrono can all too easily lead to it being damaged or destroyed. In the chronograph world, you really only have two options: The expensive complicated units that give you most of what you need, but cost far too much, or the cheaper models that are outdated, not very portable, are light-sensitive/dependent, and often break easily.

Setup is easy and the unit features a portable design with a rechargeable battery that will last for severall hoursFYI, The FX Radar Chrony was initially developed for use on paintball guns and later upgraded to work with airguns. It was never intended for firearms. under the size of a 2” cube. It now has an internal battery that is recharged through an included USB-C cord. Multiple mounts are also included that allows the shooter to attach the chronograph to their rifle in multiple ways.
