Bought a Chrony
Posted: May 15th, 2010, 2:27 am
There was a feller here in Wichita selling one, a Chrony Alpha model for $80. He used it once or twice. I'm pretty excited about it since I just happened to have some pocket change laying around so I could buy it. They normally sell for around a $100 (+/- $10). I tried it out with my Beeman pellet rifle. That was a bit of a funny experience. My little rat terrier dogs (Sidney & Jake) like to "alert" me when a squirrel is in the back yard so they run out and bark at it in the tree while I shoot it. Anyway, I took the Chrony outside and no more than shot the first pellet and my little female terrier screamed from inside her kennel throwing a royal fit. My wife let them out and they ran as fast as they could to the tree and thought I was gonna shoot something for them.
Anyway, I learned that the pointed hunting pellets shoot around 957 fps from my rifle and the flat nose target ones were about 870 fps or so. I'm anxious to use it more for my rifles and handguns and even for an arrow or two .
