[Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701]

Ayup lads, so I was looking online at f1 chrony, theres an optional printer.. and a lighting system add on thingy ma bob .. this made me wonder, will I NEED this to get it working correctly indoors..??

 

if so price is going to be a bit steep......

 

any help on this would be greatly appreciated

 

thanks in advance, SKoT

I thought it was only fluorescent light that could affect it?

Incandescent or led should be fine as it doesent flicker.

Only what I have heard so don't quote me.

Thanks moxy. do you own an f1?

 

anyone else who has one and uses it in doors let me know your experiences....

[moxy 617]

Sorry skot no. As I said its just mainly from what I remember reading on here and other forums.

I use a chrony. No science masters degree needed. Plug and play. Lol.

Not worth the hassle

Just dont want to spend 90 odd quid or whatever on the f1 chrony just for it to not work in my bedroom.

Have a read and see if there is anything about light interference. But if it won't work accurately indoors surely outside would be safer than your bedroom!?

It would be easier to do it in bedroom. Cant shoot in garden so would have to goto permission and find a good sunlit area without too many shadows

Hi SKot.

Yeah the lighting is a pain in the arse.

I use mines in the man cave with the tube lights switched of and a large halogen light hung over the top and it works fine.

I still get error 1 and 2 up sometimes and the odd silly reading which is about a 100 fps more than the rest of a 10 shot string which i know aint the gun.

Generally though its giving good results and i'd say yes to the lighting system if its not too expensive.

I don't bother about printing i just write down my results and head inside for a coffee in front of this contraption to convert my readings to fpe.

Hope this helps.

Edit - Its pretty compact pal so you could easily slip it into a small back pack to use on your perm.
