[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 382895, member: 5418"] Ray, I will need to look through my manual, but those variations are certainly not startling to me and it seems within what Oehler believes the accuracy of the unit is. I've sometimes been hasty when setting up screens and have had the proof screen pick up an error with almost all shots until I adjusted spacing. I suggest you carefully measure the set up anyway, just in case. I've run my unit back to back with others on several occassions and it is very telling to notice how much the readings between units vary and with the Chrony units that I've run these with (not knocking them, just that those are the only units I've tested with so far) there seems to be no trend at all. Some will read slower, some faster. Some readings will be quite close between the two units, some will vary a great deal. One unit will end with a summary of a string with an SD of 5 and the other an SD of 15! Of course the Chrony unit has screen spacing that counts against it IMHO. I still like my proof channel and there seem to be fewer extreme readings than with the other units I've tried, but that can simply be luck. I have an Oehler 33 too and I will run them end to end sometime and report back. I'll be away from my PC for the next week and I'm not sure when I'll get to run the test, but I'll revert some time. I just think that a good dose of circumspection should accompany our deductions made from the data that these essentially "hobby" type units give us. [/QUOTE]
