Bruce, thanks for your help.... I'm not trying to create a make-work project here.... *LOL*…. Pardon some of the rookie questions, but when it comes to radar, I don't even know what I don't know....Bob
I have been corresponding with Ron Burnett, who is working with his LabRadar on trying to develop Drag Coefficient curves for pellets.... Ron has tested both .177 cal and .22 cal pellets, and after some distance downrange he is finding that the data becomes inconsistent.... He shoots over an open field with no obstructions, and a long distance behind the target before any trees.... He has determined that when the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) drops below about 20 is when the data becomes inconsistent.... In his setting, that is at about 50-55 yards for .177 pellets and at about 75 yards for .22 cal.... even though there is a radar return at much longer ranges....Bob
Interesting to see how short the LabRadar range is on low power.... The SNR degrades a lot, even on the good .22 cal track, past 27 yards.... The LabRadar is very sensitive to backscatter from the ground,....Bob
Karl, Since I really would like to know the BC of my gun's favorite projectiles out to 100 yards....Am I understanding this correctly? Matthias .....
