[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1378522, member: 30671"] I get the point, but the false readings are why in this case something isn't better than nothing. The tolerances (+/-) can be a bit buried in the technical data on some models. I haven't checked recently so my answer could be dated, but the cheaper ones used to be listed at +/-, 1%. in ideal conditions. At 3000 fps that's a range of 60fps, 2970-3030 fps. Some of the better/newer ones, are 0.1%, or 10x better, and will give good readings in less than ideal conditions. Long range requires more from all parts of the system. [/QUOTE]
