    Testing the new Chrony...

    So the weather has been a bit pish of late, and I really wanted to have a go at the new Chrony F1.

    Wondering what I could test it on, I happened upon an innocent looking rubber band.

    15 grains.
    172 fps (Best ping)
    0.98 ft lbs

    I reckon if I try REALLY hard, i'll smash the 1 ft lb barrier...

    What a great idea !
    I bet there's loads of thing you could come up with to send threw the chrony

    If I was to get mine out and av a play the first thing I'd check would be a spud gun!
    Then I'd try the old trick of firing some folded paper from the elastic band through it aswell.....
    Hours of fun

    Fencing staples fired with a lacky band go well too.
