Chronograph Secrets Stop Errors

[BnHappy]

If you're like me, or anyone else that has used a chronograph for a while you know how much of a pain they can be giving errors, getting proper readings, etc. I put together a video of some really useful info some of you may know, many newbies will not know. I hope this helps some of you and makes your life easier.

Years ago I shot my chronograph a couple times. It’s now afraid of me and I never get errors. But I don’t recommend this.

@Vetmx --

... hey -where do you race? Just curious - I'm one of the series shooters (photographers) for the NYOA ( formerly WNYOA ) harescrambles series in Upstate Central N.Y.

Jim,

It's nice to see another Central / Upstate NYer on here! 
I'm also into airguns, riding, and photography! Small world!

@DirtyDovi - right on! We probably shouldn't hijack this thread though. (lol) Binghamton area FWIW. "Dovi" as in MotoGP??

OK original poster - apologies. Stopping now.

Only a couple? My chrony looks like it been chewed on by chewbacka and spit out again, i have shot it so many times with different calibers that it must be half the original weight... But it still works without any problem, i bought the fx chrony because i needed something that works inside without any extra lights but that piece doesn't work with 2/3 of my guns...

Whatever works.

One good feature of the Oehler 35 P Chronograph is the proof channel that serves as corroboration of the measured velocity. Yes, it is old technology and labor intensive its set up BUT readings are accurate without a doubt.
