Shooting Chrony F-1 Chronograph, Green

Work well.

Nothing

Nice compact unit.Folds for storage. Easy set up. Box for it is quality and great for storage or transport. Good instructions come with it.

Maybe sell with couple led light strips as part of deal? Something less bulky and maybe cheaper than the aftermarket Incandescent set up.

Will need 9v alkaline battery. Least one didnt come with it. Will need lights for indoor shooting. Built my own incandescent set.
Bulbs and sockets got at Home Depot. This model only records shot velocitys, as is. But I have time to do the calculations so..... Very happy, no error messages either.

I like that its compact and easy to use.

Go back to the old style black plastic aiming guides that were marked for scopes or iron sights.

I've been using these chronys for over 25 yrs and will continue to use them.

Compact

Does not work well in shadows. Must spent more and purchase the lights. I believe your better off spending a little more and going with the Caldwell Precision with the readout on the top because you have no chance of shooting it which I did, plus it has Bluetooth straight to your phone and calculates foe.

You need the light set if your not in broad daylight and get the remote screen so you don't have to worry about shooting it.

The price. Easy to setup.

Find a way to make it less light sensitive.

Make sure you don't shoot the chrony like I did. I was not paying attention and destroyed it. Not a happy shooter.

Works great! Folds up for storage and comes with sun shades. Provides the option for a remote and printer setup.

Provide a atleast 1 battery.

This is the basic model and does not have a function button, it omly shows you fps.

Easy to set up, easy to use. Portable and very repeatable.

Ability to upgrade this unit is limited. If you think you may want to reset remotely or to use the recording printer, upgrade first. I didn't need it and don't miss it.

If shooting indoors, buy the aux light source. I went from 40% errors to zero with the auxiliary light source installed.

Works for me. It is a basic device that does what it needs to do. I use it to know precisely the fps. Using this in combination with the Hawke ballistic charts and program I find this unit to be very helpful.

Nothing, as for a private person it does what it needs to do, nothing fancy is required.

If you are serious about airguns knowing the fps speed of a pellet is mandatory. Both for the ballistic curve and downrange energy. This is a no frills fully adequate device that does its job well.

Easy to setup and a breeze to operate. Very accurate.

I made my own Remote cable and have made a USB interface cable to connect to my laptop. As a computer programmer, I wrote my own software to extract, sort, catalog and store the data stream from the F-1 into a library file for various guns and ammunition. As the F-1 outputs standard ASCII this is very simple to do.

For the money, this is a good chronograph. It has a place in the bottom for tripod mounting that is really snappy! I like the green coloring, too. I hooked up a momentary switch I made and can thus page through the data of my shots (low, high, avg, etc...)

I'd make it less light fussy.

The auxiliary input lets you hook up a chrony printer or momentary switch to collect all of the data: low, high, avg, es and sd.
