deere tech Report post Posted October 3, 2014 Will a chrono read different speeds for the same load set up under different light conditions? Should it read the same on a bright sunny day compared to a cloudy hazy day. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz31p Report post Posted October 3, 2014 Yes. Different lighting conditions will affect the reading Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willhunt4coues Report post Posted October 3, 2014 Yes it will. If you don't want light effecting the reading look at the Magnetospeed. It attaches to the barrel and uses magnets to read the bullet. This can be used in sunshine, darkness, cloudy days, rain, ect. I have always got the same reading no matter what time of day it is. A little on the pricey side but one of the most accurate reading chrono and fastest to set up and take down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deere tech Report post Posted October 3, 2014 I kept everything pretty constant as far as temps go. the only difference was the light. when i first cronographed the gun it was bright and sunny, i just recronographed it before i head to wyoing and it was cloudy and hazy and the overall average speed for five shots was 60 fps faster. thanks for your input i thought i was going crazy or i did something wrong while reloding.

deere tech Report post Posted October 3, 2014 So what reading do you think was the most accurate. i used the white shields on both the bright day and the low light day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
