    Not sure what this is about. there should be a category for "Obsessive chronohead, who can work out fpe without a calculator."

    I voted for the wrong one!
    The Rapid is held under a FAC and so the power issue isn't going to arrise.

    The other two guns I had checked ages ago, but very rarely use them, so it's extremely unlikey that their powers have increased.

    I would, of course, chrono it every so often when I visit the shop.

    i will only check a rifle when i first get it, or to check to see if there are any problems if the accuracy goes a little funny.

    But Baz introduced me to a phrase i found amusing and know a few people suffer from it at the club "CHRONOITIS" sit at the bench at the club for a couple of hours, with pen and paper in hand, putting shot after shot through the crono more woried about how consistnant the rifle is than enjoying shooting it Now i could understand doing this once. i mean come on who needs to do this twice a month??????

    I never go shooting, hft or out hunting without my combro, Chronoitis may be an affliction but piece of mind is better than prison.

    If I remember correctly there is a certain "Gunsmith" who doesn't require any of the above he just fires the pellet into a brick and can tell what power its doing
    This was true, but I'm damned if I can remember who it was...

    I personally use a combro, but I have been know to borrow a mates Skan when there is a light problem.
