New Athlon chrony

[bustachip]

From the shot show, new to the market Athlon chrony. IDK for sure, but I've read it will be around $375, don't quote me on that..lol.
It looks pretty cool though.

If they work as good as the Garmin's then that's a great price and they look good too.

Sweet, post some pics and info when you get it and test it.

I was looking for one on line earlier today.
Between $339 and 400. Nobody had them in stock

Well sir - how is it working

@cavedweller - I won’t get it until June, but I’ll post how it works as soon as I do!

Mine arrived this past Monday and so far so good. First 10 shot string matched my Blue Chrony (high & low of the srting shown) basically identical shot for shot. Tested sise by side against a Garmin Xero yesterday at a FT match. Quicker read time and they differed by 4 - 9 fps. Works for me....your mileage may very.

Does the rangecraft calculate BC?

How far was the muzzle from the Blue Chrono?

How far was the muzzle from the Blue Chrono?

Had it at 12" from the muzzle when comparing.

Garmin or Athlon is coming up with a BC function update but you need two chronographs, one at the gun and the other at the target.

Interesting watch if you have some time to kill...

 

[Archdesigner03]

So, after watching numerous reviews about the athlon chrony it appears there are interference issues. Is this something that can be updated with firmware to fix the issue or this problem is on the hardware level?

 

[Mike_Lenardon]

Mine is working fine, no issues. It chronys everything I shoot except my potatoes cannon.

No I did not watch the video, 1 hrs & 14 min, to long for me.

 

[Pfddi]

I have had no problems with mine, either. So far it works quite well. I do have an older FX that I may use to see the difference and then I could put the Athlon down range to get a speed to compute the BC. Works with all my rifles and pistols.

Welp... I had to cancel the order that I placed for one of these way back on May 9th. I got a good price from Optics Planet ($349) but over a month later and it still hasn't shipped. They said the manufacturer is backordered. I wonder if Athlon is making changes before sending out a new batch?

Anyway, back to the drawing board for my chronograph. I wish I would have done this sooner, I would have been using a different one already.
