Do not buy imitations of the LMBR brand, they only look alike on the outside, see that the LMBR brand is engraved on the front of the device. Only the original brand guarantees correct operation, meets guarantees and satisfies all the functions offered) Shoot through the chronograph window with a distance from the muzzle (for airguns) of about 10/20 cm. and about 40/50 cm in the case of a 22 LR caliber firearm. or similar. The apparatus will give the projectile velocity and energy readings in joules directly. A chronograph is also essential if you plan to tune your airgun by adjusting factors such as regulator pressure and hammer spring tension. The measurements you take will reveal what effect your adjustments are having on the pellet’s velocity and your airgun’s muzzle energy.

Antes de continuar quiero deciros que no podemos conocer a día de hoy el resultado a largo plazo de éstas nuevas tecnologías, o dicho de otro modo, la durabilidad de éstos equipos, pero esto es algo que también nos ocurrió con los CHRONY, CALDWELL, MAGNETO SPEED, STEINERT, etc. Lo importante es que en las pruebas a las que fue sometida esta primer unidad que llegó a mis manos, y posiblemente la primera también en ponerse en circulación en nuestro país, los resultados fueron formidables. Podríamos decir que hemos encontrado un producto que cumple con las tres “B” (bueno, bonito y barato). Although it will handle projectiles weighing up to 49.9 grains and 4,000 fps, the Skan is designed purely for air rifles. Don’t be tempted to use it on your powder burners, as it will damage the sensors.

Of the three screws that appear on the front, above the screen, the one on the left is used to start the program, tighten it, with it we enter the mode of loading the projectile weights. With the other two buttons, indicate the weight of the projectile, one of the buttons raises and the other lowers the weight. Once you have reached the appropriate weight, press the left button again, in this way the weight of the projectile is fixed and the device is ready for use. We are going to mention some very frequent uses but there are undoubtedly many others that right now we cannot even imagine. Crudely put, chronographs measure the time it takes for a pellet fired from a gun to pass between two sensors. To work out the energy output, the feet per second (fps) reading has to be multiplied by itself, then multiplied by the weight in grains of the pellet and divided by 450,240. By shooting trough the LMBR R2A chronographthe display shows you the exact pellet speed and power of the rifle. The simple and decent design makes the chronovery easy to use.

Q: A lot of airgun shooters at my local club have their own chronograph, which they use when shooting from the bench. Is this an important accessory to have, and what are its uses? The chronocan displaymetric (m/s) or imperial (fps) readings and it will calculate the power settings based on pelletweight and pelletspeed. It is suitable for arrows, airgun pellets and BB.

How they work

The bluetooth connector module that can be seen assembled in the main image is not included in the sale price of the chronograph) By testing different pellets downrange, I now know which pellets work the best in each rifle, and there can be a huge difference. So this is why a chrono’ like the LMBR can certainly help your shooting. The inherent robustness doesn’t translate into bulk; with an overall weight just shy of 1kg, and vital statistics of 210 x 105 x 100mm, it’s easily portable to take to the range, and doesn’t take up much room on the workbench, either.

The big advantage of a chrono’ like the LMBR R2a is the ability to place it downrange. The large 120mm aperture means that you can shoot it safely from a distance, and unless you are having a very bad day, you can shoot it safely. There really is no excuse for exceeding the legal power limit and that’s where chronographs for airguns are useful kit. Manufacturers go to extraordinary lengths to ensure their products comply, and licensed gunsmiths know that any breach would have serious consequences for their livelihood. (Read our list of the best airgun pellets.) For example, a ‘chrony’ will determine the sweet spot on your PCP – the fill pressure range where your rifle is most consistent. It will also help you identify potential problems, and for you tinkerers out there, it will validate the effectiveness, or otherwise, of your labours. (Looking for a compressor for airguns – take a look at our list of the best options.) Let’s start with the construction; fabricated from 1.2mm steel, coated with a textured paint that brings to mind cameras from the 1960s, or indeed the dashboard of a classic MG sports car. In one word, probably best summed up as ‘robust’ with the overall im==ression that providing you don’t shoot it, it’s something that’s going to be with you for the long haul.

As with all products, it’s worth taking some time to consider the supplied instructions, which for me wasn’t the easiest set to follow, but I soon got the gist of things and then it was plain sailing. ALL THE MEASUREMENTS Suitable for air rifles, air pistols, firearms (not Shotguns) and archery. System units: Metric and imperial (Latest 2018 software version). So, let’s say your .22 rifle gives a reading of 530 fps. With 16 grain pellets, that would be: (530 x 530 x 16) / 450,240 = 9.98 ft-lb. Fortunately, if maths isn’t your thing, plenty of calculators on the internet will do the number-crunching for you. The other advantage with the R2A is that you can set it up so that it sits just in front of your muzzle, and depending on how high your scope is, you can shoot your targets and just look up at the display and see your velocity. This way, if you have a shot that hits high or low, you can see if there has been a power fluctuation at the muzzle. The R2A will remember a 250 string of pellets and there is no doubt that this chronograph will help you to be more consistent and so choose the best pellet for your rifle.
