RE: Fun with my Chrony...
Matt, if I wasn' t deathly allergic to cats, maybe we could talk...
Took the bottom (and only) string leech off, left white slide on, FPS jumped to 294 average on a 9 shot string... that' s with a 350 grain arrow.
WOO HOO!!!
Not bad for a 28" draw...
Bow seems just as quiet sans the leech, so they will stay off for now...

294 with a 350 grain arrow? That is about what I would expect considering that they advertise only a 1-2 fps loss with their use. That TS must weigh quite a bit over 400 grains to slow down your arrow speed by close to 33 fps over what you were getting with the 400 grain arrow.
It is fun to play around with the chrono and different setups...isn' t it? I usually end up fooling with it during the winter months when I have more time on my hands...

Frank, you lost me... TS?
You' re right. Playing with a chrony is very revealing... and fun
My bow is IBO rated at 318. Take off 20 fps for 2" shorter draw, and I should be getting 298. 294 is pretty close, and that' s with the TRU speed nock. A very easy to shoot and quiet 294 I might add...

My apology...TH. Terminator Hunter
Only a 4 fps loss with a setup that close to IBO specs (minus the draw and string accessory) is definitely impressive. I have found it to be alot worse on some bows.
All this chrony talk has me itchin' to pull mine out this afternoon to shoot a few arrows through it. I still have not chronoed the Pat SC or Rhino.

RE: Fun with my Chrony...
The verdict is in. The CE terminator hunter with a 100 grain tip weighed 500 grains, so it was putting out right at 70' #s of KE.
As far as being on spec, my ACCs were all within 1/2 a grain of each other. This was with the nock, uni-bushing, 3 4" feathers and insert only. Can' t say enough good things about these arrows...
Added the 100 grain tip to my ACC for a 375 grain arrow. With the white slide, no leeches it averaged 288 fps. Since they also fly to the same point with this head, I' m thinking about going with the 100 grain head I' ve been looking at. Can' t tell you what it is until I buy them, as they' re in limited supply and you' ll all want them
Well, maybe not Arthur...

Interesting read. My chrony stays out on my patio and gets " turned on" quiet often.
Aside from being fun to play with, they will drive you crazy[&:] on occasion. Beware the # are sometimes smaller than we wish they' d appear!!

RE: Fun with my Chrony...
Oh, but I am. Oh, but I am.................
Where I lack in speed I make up for it in KE.
Is 266 fast enough (65# pull 438 gr arrow)?
I guess it will have to do this year
Hmm, but I did just get some extra $$ for a 5 year service award, maybe some Beman 400' s are in order so I can also play the speed game??

RE: Fun with my Chrony...
All this talk of ACCs might make go get those 3-71s that Jeff sent me out so I can start smackin' nocks....
Now I have to go chrono those bows so I can throw some impressive KE and speed numbers around like the rest of you folks.
