    FX Ballistics Chronograph

    I was intrigued by the FX, particularly the claimed ability to read to 300 yds. I emailed the company, called the company, etc. Couldn't get a response. A friend had an associate shooter that bought one. He asked my friend to test it beside his Oehler '89 and his Garmins. Looks like it...

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    The latest update to the Hornady 4DOF program includes reporting time of flight to 5 decimal places. If you have an '89 (or other way to measure time of flight), you can adjust the AFF in the program to make the prediction a best fit to your measured time of flight. Time of flight is not...

    Oehler 35P still being sold

    With the 35P you have the inconvenience of having to setup skyscreens. However, you have the following advantages: 1 - You know exactly where the velocity measurement was made - Easy to get true MV. 2 - You control the accuracy of the system - Want better data, use longer screen spacing (but...

    Bulletseeker Mach 4 doppler chrono

    They have an ios app update available on Testflight. I've heard it should be in the app store soon. It gives a color representation for number of detections (quality of reading) and makes export easier. Also changed display to read in whole numbers instead of .x

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    I've recently heard from another purchaser of an '89 system. I know the first batch was sold out so looks like they are now shipping again. There is lots to be learned from this technology and I encourage any users that might have questions to reach out to me if you have questions about setup...

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    Using an '89 to measure Launch Dynamics? Something I'd not thought about doing. It will be interesting to follow your results. I've said it before, the '89 will provide some answers but using it will probably create more questions. Thanks for sharing your test results.

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    That is great to hear, Tim. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I've long believed in the technology. During the early testing, I once loaded a bunch of bullets backwards (to have as much drag as possible) and measured the BC at 500-without sighting rifle in, I just used holds. About a...

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    The BC is calculated from: Air density (from atmospherics you input - including wind), velocity - measured, TOF - measured and distance (from your input).

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    The variables are in the settings. You input atmospherics, screen spacing and distance to target. After shooting you can change those variables and replay the test. I'll send you my email address in a PM.

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    One of the best things about this system is the ability to shoot once and analyze variables later. Shoot the test once then change whatever variable you are interested in and replay the test.

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    Good to hear. I'm looking forward to the things that will be learned as this capability is picked up by more shooters. We would all like to have a radar capable of tracking bullets deep into subsonic. This is the next best thing. I've used it side by side with long range radar and they gave...

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    I heard an Oehler '89 was at the KO1M match and that people shot over it to get data to use. If anyone knows, did the data match up with shooting the match? I know my experience has been the data is spot on but it would be interesting to know the experiences of others. At White_Shark, sorry...

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    Whatsupdoc said: Dont know how accurate the results are it depends on how accurate the Labradar numbers are. The LabRadar machines have shown to be capable of giving very good numbers. If I run two and get the same (or very close) numbers, I trust them. I've had issues with muzzle blast or...

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    We all chase a high BC, and why wouldn't we? One of the most important things most overlook is the consistency of the BC. Long ago, I thought BC was a static number. I got it from the manufacturer and it was what it was. The same number was appropriate for everyone, for every shot. Modern...

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    One other thing to think about is that if someone else tests them you will only know what they do in THAT person's rifle. They may not show the same performance in YOUR rifle(s). Think of it like you would think of asking someone to shoot your loads for velocity. You would be far better off...

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    I'd also like to add that there are a few '89s out there already. If one of the users reads this, he may be willing to test BC just for the opportunity to see your bullets and get more familiar with the system.
