not a problem mate ill subscribe too, i thought the accuracy was great as well better than the chroni f1. have you tried the lead what you plug into the laptop
Marco Giove No I haven't tried that, I think you can get them from their website and it connects via the serial port. In conjunction with the chairgun software by hawke that could be really useful.
I use one too mate they are very good value for money. I find that if using with an Fac Air Rifle a moderator is needed as my Fac Rapid when firing it doesn't register on the chrono unless I use the Moderator. Watch yourself though as the police do their testing using bisley Magnum pellets and if you were to do a test using them then it would be way above 12ft/lb. Rich
***** Yes upon advice I have down tuned it by about half a ft lb in the mass spread. So with magnums it would be just under 12 ft lbs now. But to be honest even then if the police used 20 grain really heavy pellets it would still be over. Same goes for any airgun bought over the counter brand new from the factory.
Doesn't the law stipulate that any rifle that is capable of exceeding 12ft/lbs requires a certificate, most, if not all spring piston air rifles can be made to do 12+ft/lbs with the right or wrong pellet and in certain scenarios.
Does it save a string of shots, or only the last shot ? For indoor shooting (which I love to do), instead of a metal pellet trap, I prefer to use a cardboard box packed with cloth rags, or you can use newspapers or phone books, but they can get messy with paper dust and fragments... they are much quieter and no flattened metal shards.
A very helpful video thank you, I shall have to get around to chronoing my rifles with this. I think I'll do it outside though, I don't have a dog but I don't think my house mates would appreciate being shut away.
you want a pellet that deviates 3fp wither side of the sweet spot, if you got pellets that drop 10 fp or gain 10fp your accuracy will be all over the place, i used this on 40 different types of pelet and the two that came out on top were the hades and bisley magnums in my s510 tdr regulated, that was with a 180lb fill down to 110 fill, over 180 was closing the valve to fast under 110 was letting to mush air out. my gun states a fill from 200 bar but this chrony allowed me to find the sweet spot where the regulator was happy and i now get 70 accurate shots from a 180 bar fill. ps use a laptop and input the figures into a spread sheet and that will give you your median score. and you can save it and add more columns for different pellets.
BS... 10fps either way will have an almost un noticable effect on group size out to 55yrds. The biggest accuracy issue you have is... You bought an AirArms rifle
Jeeze I was an early adopter... My combro is a mk1... Yes it still works. As a field target shooter... Power doesnt matter, as long as its under 12ft/lbs... Accuracy/group size matters more. My rifles produce 10.5 ft/lbs ... Because our local anti gun plod test guns with any ammo they can get hold of and not just the ammo you have.
It depend what country you are. You have 610.82 ft/s. It's illegal for us in canada. The limit is 500. After that you must have a licence. thank you for the video
I find it incredulous we have a 12 ftlb limit that we CANNOT legally use! We have to set up our guns below the limit to allow for inconsistencies. It's akin to having a 30 mph speed limit on roads but only able to go 25. At least with the speed limits you get a leeway to allow for speedometer inconsistencies allowing full use of the allowed limit! With air rifles it's the opposite. You should legally be able to use the 12 ftlb limit as set in law with an absolute limit of say 12.5 ftlbs? Otherwise we are cheated out of .5 ftlb of energy (for all the good it would do) but it's the principle of the matter.
+Bushcraft1974 ISWYM, even our drink drive law has a margin for error built in. The legal alcohol limit for driving is 35 mg of breath but a driver will not be prosecuted with a breath alcohol level below 40 mg. I suppose you could make a case based on similar grounds, if your rifle does not consistently exceed 12fps.
exceeding speed limits in the UK, the 10% +2 is not the law it is the 'guidline' for the police officer doing the booking and is discretionary. He can take into account the circumstances pertaining to his stop. Considering how lethal a motor vehicle, of any description can be. An airgun @ 12ftlbs Oscar less of a threat.
I remember about 7 years ago me and my mum used to live with my auntie and uncle who used to look after a private banker's and their kids let me use their air rifle and we used to fire at pieces of slate from about ten or so yards :D
Misnomer, a pellet catcher catches pellets. yours does not. I use an old, pillow either in a box or not, the pellets are arrested in the poly fibres, a .177 fired at sub 12ftlbs even @ point blank,will not pass through.
get an old wood stove. best pellet trap on earth all your pellets will stay in side I just sent a way for this crono I live in the USA. had to get it from. CANADA .. thanks for the info.
i have this one but it disappoints me.the chronograph results did not match with the softwares Strelok + and Chairgun Pro.i have calibrated it based on the reference number given on the unit and its 100fps slow.this is rubbish.
dangerously close to what? what's going to happen if it goes over the woosey limit? is the world going to end? before I had my ticket I used to turn my rifles up all the time to about 18ftlb and had no problems at all as I only use them on my permissions as long as you keep your mouth shut there's no problem. only reason I got my ticket is I wanted more power (30ftlb) and rim fires,but I can't understand why some people are so terrified of that limit, also you say a friend had a rifle that was over and had to send it off, it's funny how you said with that problem?? problem how's that a problem? the more power the better! people have been brainwashed so much about that woosey limit and so scared of the law, its a bit like saying I won't smoke a joint in my house as I'll get nicked, how when nobody knows! people need to grow some balls!
+Rifles Are Awesome I don't know how much shooting you do but if you shoot often over a long period of time on a permission the chances are that at some point someone will call the Police on you. I have had it happen to me out Pigeon shooting. I was doing nothing wrong and was polite etc and all was well they went away and I carried on shooting. If you had an air rifle there is a high possibility they will take it off you and check it. If you get caught over the limit it 'could' mean prison time.
+srspower We shoot on a farm in Banbury and have been doing so for the last 15 yrs and as the landowner owns all the land we have never had any encounters with police as he would be the only person to call them, all that you automatically get 5 yrs if your rifle is slightly over is a load of rubbish seriously I know someone who got caught with one that was 16.7ftlb and they just told him to turn it down, different if a crime had actually been committed with it. only reason I actually got my ticket is I wanted a proper 30.5ftlb rifle which you can only aquire with a ticket as a normal sub 12 you can convert to about 20ftlbs and that's your lot as you need the FAC valve which you can only aquire with a FAC!
If it's shooting 11.5 ftlb with a 14.3 grain pellet it will certainly be over with a 16 or 18 grain pellet. Bisley Magnums are 21.5 grains, god forbid they test it with those. In reality you're looking at having the rifle tuned to 10 ftlb for use with a pellet that has "acceptable" trajectory. All this for the sake of staying within the limit when the police test the gun using extreme-end pellets that are impractical for the average user anyway. THE LAW IS AN ASS!

iv just bought it, amazing value and a great piece of kit.
Yes it does the job really well. Thanks for watching :)

ill have to look take a look at that then, could come in really handy for finding flat spots ect
Great Video Dude. Keep up the great work. Nick.
I got a brilliant pellet catcher from Argos.........It's called a catalogue.
i just fire into the wardrobe into my old work trousers, did 600 shots today 6 different pellets, its easy.
I use one too mate they are very good value for money. I find that if using with an Fac Air Rifle a moderator is needed as my Fac Rapid when firing it doesn't register on the chrono unless I use the Moderator. Watch yourself though as the police do their testing using bisley Magnum pellets and if you were to do a test using them then it would be way above 12ft/lb. Rich
I guess that's the problem. You can make any sub 12 ft lb rifle over the limit with a heavy enough pellet. I might turn it down a little though.
***** Yes upon advice I have down tuned it by about half a ft lb in the mass spread. So with magnums it would be just under 12 ft lbs now. But to be honest even then if the police used 20 grain really heavy pellets it would still be over. Same goes for any airgun bought over the counter brand new from the factory.
***** You're right but there are still pellets that would send it over!
Doesn't the law stipulate that any rifle that is capable of exceeding 12ft/lbs requires a certificate, most, if not all spring piston air rifles can be made to do 12+ft/lbs with the right or wrong pellet and in certain scenarios.
***** Its only illegal if you get caught ;)

If your rifle is regulated and you have a sweet spot your regulator isn't working properly

where has the calibration number gone from the back of the chrono.
Grate video mate!!!!!!! might have to get one 1st to comment again lol XD
They are very good value, thanks for watching :)
Make sure you spell Great correctly if you do :)
great vid
Sorry to hear you shot your bedroom cabinet by accident. But can you recommend any recipes and how did it taste?
Haha! A little chewy!
Hi are there any chance you would show some .410 shooting or a review on it?
I keep getting asked that! Yes why not, for a decent test I need to make a patterning board etc but yeah good idea.
brilliant ,informative video many thanks :-)
Keith Taylor Thanks for watching :)
Was the bedroom cabinet you shot out to get you... or making any threats to you?
:)

Hi how would I put 7.87 grain in combro mk4 thanks.
If you watch from 5:10 I think I explain it pretty well!
I remember about 7 years ago me and my mum used to live with my auntie and uncle who used to look after a private banker's and their kids let me use their air rifle and we used to fire at pieces of slate from about ten or so yards :D
Perfectly safe as long as you use eye protection! Thanks for watching :)
Why is your pellet trap up side down? No wonder all the lead goes on the floor.
Mine is upside down too... I keep a bucket under the catcher so the lead goes into the bucket.
It works great.Android app is fab i cant fault it.
I bought one and it not really fit on my HW 77 with an under lever cocking mechanism ! the sliding V-mount is to short
it works upside down, if that helps
Misnomer, a pellet catcher catches pellets.
yours does not.
I use an old, pillow either in a box or not, the pellets are arrested in the poly fibres, a .177 fired at sub 12ftlbs even @ point blank,will not pass through.
Sod the stupid law and the limit! Who are they to tell me what power I can have my rifle set to!
get an old wood stove. best pellet trap on earth all your pellets will stay in side I just sent a way for this crono I live in the USA. had to get it from. CANADA .. thanks for the info.

nathoi If your bullet drop numbers are correct, the chrono is broken. If not, try changing the BC in the Strelok to match the bullet drop.
how much£
get on with it !!! skip to 8 mins

My pellet catcher is a picture of my ex with his mouth open :-0
Not an amicable break up then?!
No he hated my rifle.
He is a wimp.
More than doubled in price

holy shit, 1,180ish feet per second? oooooh ok, 11.8 ft/lbs. that's a neat little gadget.
Yes it's handy for accuracy so you know exactly what your rifle is putting out. Thanks for watching Gabe :)
