Shooting Beta Chrony

[Brandon Pattison]

I have had it forever and can never figure out how to use the damn thing. Does anyone have a cheat sheet?

 

[Brandon Pattison]

Anyone?

I have an f1 chrony, what's to figure out? Plug in battery, install metal rods and shoot through it.

It doesn't register a shot. Everything that I have read online says to turn it on and shoot. Nothing...

Does it say error 1 or error 2 on the display? My chrony beta is very sensitive I have to shoot in the shade at exactly 5in above the windows. I set my 338 lapua 12 ft away and put a bore sight laser in the chamber the go to the chronograph and make sure my height is exactly 5in up and dead Center on both the front and back. Since doing this method I have registered 30 shots with no problems

If I recall it shows -8E-

Have you tried the diffuser pieces on the end of the rods?

 

[Brandon Pattison]

Yes, they are deployed.

A Beta Chrony will display BE with flashing symbols on each side; a Gamma Chrony will display GA with flashing symbols on each side. These flashing symbols indicate that the Chrony is working and is ready for use. Because of the limitations of the LCD, the BE symbol for the Beta Chrony can also be read as 8E. For Chronys that are set to read in MPS, it will display a dot between the two letters (e.g., G.A), with the same flashing symbols on each side; without the dot (e.g., GA), the unit read out is in FPS.

Thanks. Maybe the lighting was poor.

Lighting is the nemissis of the shooting chronys.

Make sure the lighting is good and it should work fine. When mine shows an error, I put a quartz light above it and it works perfectly after that.
