When the cover is replaced, be careful that the two slots allow access to the sensors below. It is possible to fit it the wrong way round, which means the sensors are occluded and the device becomes inoperative.

Made in the USA, the ProChrono DLX Chronograph has a velocity range of 20 – 9,999 feet per second, memory capacity of up to 9 strings of up to 99 shots each, and a shot timing resolution of 31 nSec (8000 counts @ 4,000fps). Its crystal controlled accuracy is +/- .5% of measured velocity or better, making it a reliable and accurate tool for measuring the velocity of projectiles in various shooting sports. Su polivalencia resulta exquisita. Las pruebas se realizaron con armas cortas y largas de aire, así como cortas y largas también de fuego, aprovechando situaciones extremas para comprobar la capacidad del equipo. Registró perfectamente desde las lecturas más pobres de un arma corta de aire (129m/s), pasando por carabinas PCP de alta potencia, pistolas de 9mm, hasta fusiles con munición casi trisónica, como son la familia 22 de fuego central que trabajan por encima de los 1000m/s), no obstante según el fabricante puede medir hasta 2000m/s. Buenos días a todos, tal y como sospechaba creo que ya puedo comunicaros con firmeza una estupenda noticia tras varios meses de trabajo e investigación sobre la pesadilla de los cronógrafos balísticos, y es que…… “YA TENEMOS EL CRONO GANADOR”. The Caldwell Chronograph G2 is also designed for powder burners and even bow users, capable of measuring projectiles up to 9,000 feet per second. Presented in a carry bag, the G2 comes with its own tripod, which can be adjusted between 80 and 170mm high. To gain access to the cell compartment, it is necessary to remove the plastic plate on the base. This is secured by four 2mm hex-head screws, and a suitable wrench is supplied for the purpose. The cranked end of the wrench is useful to pass through the slots in the cover to help lift it off and the substantial internal cell retaining clips help to keep things firmly in position. Be aware that they both face in the same direction.Making use of pellet weight, the LMBR calculates individual power, as well as average if you shoot a string, even if that string extends to 250. All this will be delivered with an accuracy of 1% measured at a velocity of 1,000 M/S. To test the validity, I took a comparison from my benchmark chrono’ - Skan Pro 1, which gave near identical results. With four buttons, the Skan is simple and intuitive to operate. You can enter the weight of the pellets you are using, and the unit will not only provide a reading in fps, but it will provide an energy reading in ft-lb. To start the process, you are going to need to input your pellet weight, which has a maximum available value of 600 grains – imagine the trajectory of that pellet! Once done, shoot down the centre of the open aperture, where you will have a choice of viewing various items of valuable data, available in imperial and metric units. At the very least, you are going to want to see velocity, and this over a series of shots. From a string of shots you can choose to see the maximum, minimum, average, and the difference between maximum and minimum velocities. As with all products, it’s worth taking some time to consider the supplied instructions, which for me wasn’t the easiest set to follow, but I soon got the gist of things and then it was plain sailing. ALL THE MEASUREMENTS We have an optional storage bag available for the LMBR R2A chrono what protects the measuring sensors against dust and keeps the chrono in mint condition.

If you take testing your air rifles seriously, you’ll really want to take a look at this chrono which is the last in our list of chronographs for airguns. According to Skan, police forces use a version of the product here to test potentially errant air rifles and pistols. Many airgun manufacturers are customers too. Okay, but how will all of this help me to improve my shooting?’ I hear you ask. Well, it will help in four main areas: There’s an integrated lithium-ion battery which will give a run time of between two and 12 hours, depending on how much the lights are used. Do not buy imitations of the LMBR brand, they only look alike on the outside, see that the LMBR brand is engraved on the front of the device. Only the original brand guarantees correct operation, meets guarantees and satisfies all the functions offered)

The unit comes with a lead to transfer information via a data port to a computer, and a charging cable which also attaches to a PC. The Shooting Party recommends the Ballistically Brilliant Chronograph be fully charged before use, and says it can handle velocities up to 2,789 fps. The G2 provides a large area through which to shoot, which is handy as Caldwell recommends standing 10 to 15 feet away, though I’m sure you could get away with being much closer when using an air rifle. The LMBR chronograph is the brainchild of Radoslaw Koziol an electronics/ telecommunications engineer based in Bartag, a small village in Poland. His original work started in 2007/08, and in his own words, was more a hobby than anything else. As often happens, matters started to get a bit more serious, and he changed the brief to produce a reliable practical device capable of producing data that would be useful to the shooting community. From my findings, I think he has achieved his brief and then some, but I’m getting ahead of myself. The essential companion for anyone involved with airgun maintenance. The LMBR R2A Chronograph is a speedometer for measuring speed and energy of your airrifle. An absolute must have when you want to set up your airrifle for the best concistency. The other day, my rifle was feeling ‘wrong’, and when I shot it over the chronograph, it was running at 730fps, so I knew that either a seal had failed, or something more catastrophic had happened, and when I took the rifle apart, I found that I had a broken spring. So, having a chrono’ immediately pointed me toward a problem.
