[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 2298827, member: 99039"] I have not questioned it, a good example for me, I have a Crossbow, I complained to the manufacturer the advertised speed is nowhere close on mine, 365fps advertised with a 400gr. Arrow, I was shooting 345fps with 420gr arrow. We argued and they said send it in, when done they called and said it is shooting consistently 377fps with 400gr arrow, I calculated it and figured it should be 367fps with my setup. It was exactly that velocity when I tested it, the speed dial on my scope also agreed with the fps. I know many people will not agree or believe, I don't care, in the end it is just a tool to get a reading, you are going to verify if that is correct by shooting for drops out to 600yds to verify. That is going to be with any Chronograph you use, just because they cost a lot doesn't mean you are not going to verify it before heading to the woods. I just finished watching a video this morning of a guy testing his new barrel using a Labradar it missed two of his shots out of 10, so they all will have misses. [/QUOTE]
