What have you bought in the last 48 hours gun related?

It matters to some of us who need ACTUAL to the fps velocity numbers and BC information for making drop tables, measuring ES, SDs, etc.
On a personal note, it was annoying and I spent many range days like a psychopathic packing dip, and cussing up a storm various threats to my optical chronos because of the general inconvenience of setting them up, getting the light conditions right and then of course I’ve shot two on accident. One because I was angry.

My blood pressure, and my social life has been greatly better by the use of magnetospeed and the need for use of nicotine has decreased. Thus the quality of life has increased over all.

 

I know math and can use a calculator. You can buy a lot of calculators for what a labradar costs.

A regular optical chronograph provides just as accurate velocity as anything else, if not, please tell me why.

I'd argue that if you have trouble making a regular optical chrono work, your going to have a tough time with a labradar.....

 

What math do you know?

It does not. Why: the logic built into optical chronos always assumes that the bullets travel is perpendicular to the sky screens. This alone is not always the case. I’m sure you are aware to use your calculator or whatever to offset the distance since most people will shoot at about 10ft minimum. So the issue is that chronograph always assumes that the bullet is traveling the true distance from sensor A over to sensor B. This is rarely the case. And surely isn’t the case from shot to shot.


Again no. The labradar is acoustically turned on and obviously uses Doppler radar. The biggest issue you would have is if someone is shooting next to you which there is a way to set the acoustic sensitivity. You don’t need to hold up the line and level your chrono, and make sure you diffusers are set properly then get error codes with half your load because the sun is out.

Magnetospeed is even easier; and it’s not in dispute. From 3rd party testing to my own findings it is 99.9% accurate... it doesn’t get any better than that. No need for a coffin cave to get the light just right on a 10 shot average.

 

Huh?

I'm out.....

 

almost pulled the trigger on a Marlin Model 1895 Dark series until I realized they're p much nonexistent across the country right now for retail sale.

 

Rifle bag came today...
Holds two rifles
Lots of other storage and it can be worn as a backpack which is nice since where I shoot you have to trek in about 1/2 mile

 

That's sweet! I have two similar. Think they are Condor. One for SBR's and another for long guns. They're great.

 

Yea this seems pretty cool. Picked it up off Amazon and am pretty happy

 

Not gun related but survival hunting related.
Haven't used a compass since boy scouts so ill need to read up on it. I plan on doing some car camping this winter so im stocking up.

 

What?

 

X2

 

What x2?

 

You seem tense, just relax. I'm not gonna argue chronos on the internet.
Now temp, altitude, barometric pressure, humidity, and moon phase I will.

 

There’s not much to argue. No one out there that owns a magnetospeed or a Labradar is returning their product and going back to the old f1 chrono.
If you quote me a face I’m going to ask what. Seems like a reasonable response question.

 

I have a 15 year old model of this:

$159 Competition Electronics ProChrono DLX Chronograph White

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FTJYQ9Z?ref=aa_scomp_sosp1
It has served my needs quite well, with 1 error at 1st, user induced.

 

vavg = xf-x0/tf-t0

But you do you.

Edit: I know one person who returned a labradar. I helped him for hours trying to get it to work consistently.

 

Nice

 

AR drop in hand-guard (Midwest Industries V2) Troy Industries modular grip + 1200 rounds of 556.

 

I wonder if any of these guys ever used a bunch of fancy gadgets...
