Thanks for the offer but I've decided to go ahead with the LMBR RA2 out of Poland. Just working through the remote purchasing process at the moment. |

That's interesting, I didn't know about the blue tooth adapter, cool.

This one comes with a bluetooth adaptor. No shipping specified so I'm just waiting on a response. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254998968099?hash=item3b5f1f7723:g:adYAAOSwOyRgs9Rq&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwA2iwgj9UqJPxLjPh44C25jjhevflqw%2Ft3gntYqBmgJ78509ehqBymRNFLRolR7Trb6EeJgzPV1F45Liw8U45uLxJ%2FyWpfuY1Bh8ESerMvMAmXFmcvu6NyEdg3O5PPpF0QTquAmE4uEyBqe9PRkOnukhDSrkvDKk6uianUxmeJYOlWJFUg9Iznid9sU6O9jfUwZA%2FntqrIqyFJUxzKLRIPxV%2FScFS6gVxnr7nc5v%2Fb0w4E0nuy9lqQD4XsDtUYpC5Q%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9SFxeasYg Yep, buying new stuff is fun - I've been into this for less than a year and have just ordered my 4th PCP! I'm addicted, and a very long way down that rabbit hole I was warned about....

The other things I like about it is it uses 2 x AA batteries, but 12v DC input plug too, and it has the female threaded base for mounting on a bi pod.
But exciting. Love it when people buy stuff.

This is the same as mine. And I think it's direct from manufacturer. Hopefully that address gets you to it. It's the R2A model I have.

Which model Pauly? I see there are several including a small fully enclosed R2 airgun only unit and a larger R2A model.

The LMBR is probably more expensive, but having had the Prochrono style chrony before, the compact size, onboard lighting and quick setup of the LMBR is a big factor. It can be used on it's side or in any position as long as the projectile passes through the beams.

Thanks nunga, that's the sort of advice I was hoping for. Would you go for the Prochrono that jwabfrog has recommended above or the Polish one that Pauly is using?

I have a prochrono digital that has given me good performance. Useful for measuring FPE and more importantly for giving me muzzle velocity to use in ballistics apps like the Hawke app. If you have a rangefinder you can estimate pellet drop / holdover required. I haven't had any issues with odd readings etc. Biggest issue is ensuring good lighting with sunlight - already discussed. I have used i indoors close to a sunny window.

I have a chrony, cost me 300 back in the day. I dont trust it at all. I stopped using it after it said my tuned TX200 had a 200fps spread. The same goes for the chrony that alex has, we had some intersting results the last time at the nationals. I just dont have any faith in these as all. They are ok to get a general idea but i wouldnt rely too much on them. My 2 cents anyway!

Thanks for that but for the extra $80 I think I'll buy a new one with a warranty. Cheers.

Do you have the listing number as I can't find it? Perhaps it's sold already.
