measuring pellet speed w/o a chrony using www.audacity.com

[thom]

I saw a video somewhere about using the site audicity.com to measure projectile speed without a chronograph. Anybody on here use it? I've looked into the inexpensive chronographs, like on Ebay, but it appears that most of them only register speeds to 999.9 fps. I believe most of my rifles will shoot faster than that, good or bad.

According to the information that I just looked up the F1 chronograph will see speeds from 30 fps to 7000 FPS. I got mine from walmart through the internet it was only 99.99 with lights. I bought this about 2 years ago.

Caldwell is $85, I would call that a reasonable low price. It measures bow, airgun and over 4000 fps powder burners. Has an app to go to your cell phone. And there appears to be some cheaper units.

There was an app a few years ago that used the microphone in your phone to measure the speed of your pellets by sound alone. I tried it and it did actually work but was a real pain setting up a room perfectly to do it in. Everything had to be precisely measured and positioned. Not worth doing at all when you can just pick up a real chonograph on sale for $75 or one of the aliexpress tiny units for $25.

And they really have the AUDACITY to do it!

The pics & videos I see of the F1 chrony shows a digital readout with three positions left of the decimal point. I don't understand how it can see speeds over 999.9 fps. Am I wrong?
