CHRONOGRAPH

[Malt 379]

Great idea Sean mate.

 

I was thinking of posting an idea on here a while back, not as accurate as a chrono, more of a yardstick.

 

It ran along the lines of the age old, 'phonebook test'

 

Guys with chronos would test their gun, then fire at a standard yellow pages/uk phonebook. The results could then be posted.

 

For example:

 

Mr X chrono's his gun with AA field pellets, (I've used that particular brand as they seem popular!) then makes a note of the result.

 

Mr X then fires another pellet at the phone book from a set distance, then makes a note of the page number where the pellet ceases to leave a mark.

 

say the gun was at 11.5, and the last marked page was 30.

 

Mr Y then comes along, his gun chronos at 11, only gets to page 25.

 

All results would be posted on here to form a list.

 

Of course it would require for the benefit of the test, that all distances and pellet makes are standardised for this to be anywhere near accurate, and as far as I know, all yellow pages are the same all over the country.

 

What do you guys reckon?

Won't it make a huge difference if someone aims near the spine where the pages are all compacted, and someone else shoots near the outer edge, where the pages are looser?

Come on guys if you really care about what your guns putting out £40 for a crony is fook all!!!

 

The yellow pages test

[hughesey1552 0]

Id be happy to chuck in for a chrono sean, even if it is only between a few members. Id rather fork out a tenner between 4/5 and know that you can trust them people rather than everyone chuck a quid in if you get me.

The yellow pages test

It's not that hard to grasp, is it? My old man used to be able to tell with some degree of accuracy whether or not a gun was too powerful, too weak or just right, just by counting the affected pages of a shot phonebook.

 

Problem these days, some don't consider you a 'proper' airgunner unless you've got a PCP, bipod, a few hundred quids worth of real tree, the latest boots & can hit the wings off a gnat at 50 yards...

I get what your saying mate but to me it just seems a little dodgy no offence intended!!
