    @Dorkus What I have found using several different chronos is that none of them seem to be correct with varying degrees of incorrectness. No matter what any chrony says my speed is I will always drop test it and validate velocity that way. If at all possible I would do a drop test at 300 m before you head out on the hunt, maybe you can find a 300 m relatively flat line of sight at the hunt location before you walk in. Everytime I do this ( I repeat after reloading every batch of 100) I get a different answer to what the Chronograph says, and using the drop test validation has never let me down with long shots subsequently. I have learnt the hard way never to trust the chrono velocity, that said I've not used one of the expensive ones like a Labradar or Magnetospeed.
