    Chronograhs

    Here we go.

    I'm getting 60 fps lower velocities between my Garmin and Magnetospeed.
    The Garmin is reading the slower speed.

    Which one is lying?
    Everything on poo tube shows close velocities between the two.

    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Unfortunately there is nothing much local to verify or add to the confusion.

    Running all the updated firmware.

    Interested in anyone else's experiences.

    Thanks In Advance.

    Borrow the forum chronograph as a third option to test. There is one for North and South Island, have used the SI one a few times now as I don't have the disposable to buy one.

    You also wander around to my place and borrow mine Happy Jack. 400m isn't that far really. Even driving , I don't think the fuel cost would be that bad.... just saying

    Doesn't the magnetospeed measure just muzzle velocity, an optical chrony like the forum one around 5 m from muzzle and the garmins like a labradar using Doppler so picks it up some distance away. Maybe that's your answer, maybe not.

    Shots measured simultaneously or separately?

    I didn't realise there was one so close, must come and have a catch up sometime. I only walked 15Km last week with the rifle so I guess 400m is doable.
