    My take on accuracy is that if you can get to around 1% error rate - or 99% accurate, then your doing well, and arguably will not know when your results are either 99.5% correct or 100.5% correct - this is around 8fps in a UK .177 legal gun (4 under, 4 over). So if 2 or even 3 cronos are within 2/3/4fps of each other then to me they are all acceptable and all in the ball park for accuracy and the pellet weights or batch will be causing more difference than this.

    I see this latest crono as an item which does not replace or add significant advantages over other cronos already on the market, it's just another alternative, and will be better for some people and worse for others depending what they have used in the past. I use a Combro attached to a Bluecron lead to a phone and it does everything this one does and more - as my one gives graphs. But then I can't do a shot string 30m down range - but how often do you do that, and other than a passing interest would you care?, but my set up cost half of what this one does and I've had it 5 years+, so why the fan fare for this?

    None of this is slating the product, it could have been better, and it could have been cheaper, but as it is it's a welcome alternative to an already large market of air gun suitable cronos.

    If it's +/- 1% that's 8 fps each side,(at 800fps) so two chrono's could be 16fps apart but still both be within tolerance
