I have been trying to use my athlon rangecraft to get some speeds shooting my flintlock and percussion gun with patched round balls and black powder.

It will pick up maybe 6 shots out of 20.

I'm wondering if anyone has had better luck. It is a smoke issue? Patch issue?
 
I’ve heard that they both work with sabots. So, it surprises me a little that PRBs don’t work. I wouldn’t think the smoke would matter.
 
Are you using Rifle mode? Mine wasn’t picking up the kids BB guns until I switched it to Archery Mode and then it picked them all up.
 
seemed like I was finding them around the 40-50 yard mark on the old homemade range
That’s kinda what I expected you to say. Seems like they go a ways. I’d assume this makes them more likely to work well with the chrony.
