I have got chairgun as an app a few weeks ago and have been getting myself familiar with it. I wanted to know if it is accurate enough to use it with a trail np beacause i know it works for pcps i just wanna know if the np's are reliable eough to use with chairgun

It's not really a question of "are nps reliable enough?" it's a question of "are you consistent enough when you shoot yours?"
Chair gun should work assuming they have your reticle in the program. And even if they don't it should still be helpful. The reason it's so helpful for PCP is because they don't recoil so any problem are either shooter error (more likely) or gun error. With an NP you have a fairly harsh recoil that really takes good technique and practice to shoot well. Chair gun should be close but don't expect perfect hold overs and unders everytime. As long as you keep your expectations modest and you practice a lot you could make chair gun very good for you

I have the NP and use chairgun as well, and the rifle has enough power to be usefull at maybe 70 yards max. Having said that you'll need to do some experimenting, and lots of practice before getting many "long shot" hits, UNLESS you can manage the recoil well, AND your reticle is on the list of reticles contained inside chairgun. Mine isn't, so I use chairgun to see the arc of the pellet, choose the range I wanna zero it at, then shoot, shoot, shoot. So far I have wrote on paper all my "POI's" from ten yards out to 43 yards, noting the amount of holdover at each yard mark. Of course some "mildots" will work out for several yards, but as the shots get longer, you'll see the advantage of having the proper reticle chosen on the chairgun program! It's worth buying a "compatable" scope IMHO.
Good shootin'
