I am wondiner ig anyone has a chrony I could use to benchmark my TF87. I have "approximated" its performance using chairgun, but my mil-dots aren't lining up the way I think they should, so I would really like to get a real speed value for the gun and few of my better pellets, so I can be certain my scope/zero is where I want it. I live in Noblesville, work in Carmel, and travel up to the Marion area often, but would spend an afternoon buzzing around if need be.

Greenwood is a long drive for you however I own a chrony if you have not located one.
IF you feel lucky can set up a 20 yard target in my backyard, i do it but usually stop shooting after about 20 pellets and take it all down for a bit. IF the police arrive it would be on you for the ticket/warning/etc .. etc being confiscation of my chrony. i would prefer you not shoot 200 pellets out there as it could cause a problem with my neighbors.
Other option if you only want FPS is my basement where the target can only be about 16-18 feet, due to basement design and size. my trap is rated for 22 rimfire, so as long as you are not shooting anything BIG it should be ok at that distance.
Would either option work for you ?
Not sure how I missed this as I always do an unread since last visit. Sorry it took so long to get a reply of any type.

I don't need to shoot 200 pellets, more like 50 or 60. I know which pellets I have that shoot accurately, I just need to get a FPS average for them so I can get my mil-dots set up a little better. I can bring my own pellet trap if you prefer, but I am sure my gun makes less than 30 ft lbs, probably more like 25. I know what it is like to be concerned about the neighbors/fuzz when shooting in town. I always do my pesting through a window so I can avoid being seen, so the basement range is fine with me.
Let me talk to my manager (wife) and see what my weekend is going to look like. I am hoping I can fit a quick trip in if you are available. I'll shoot you a personal message or e-mail when I know details.
