:'(Man am I bummin, I just sunk a .22 CPHP into the display screen on my brand new chrony during the first time I used it. It still powers on and off but the display is wasted, it still shows a flashing dash when it's turned on but it doesn't display anything else... I'm pretty sure it can refurbished and I hope Pyramyd Air works with me on it, I hope I don't have to eat the whole 85 bucks.

Before I ruined it I was able to test my new G1 Xtreme and my new Trail XL 1100. Start with the Trail, it was delivered last Saturday evening, opened it on Sunday, first thing I noticed was some messed up bluing. All within an area of about one square inch there are six ugly spots. The first one about the size of an orange seed, next about the size of a cooked grain of rice, then two about the size of pin heads and two more about the size pin points. I decided if it was a good shooter that the cosmetic flaws would be OK. I could sure use some advice, shooting with CPHP, my Trail 1100 shot a high of 891, quite a few shots in the 860's and 870's but what stood out were three very low numbers, a low of 458 fps and then a shot at 470 fps and another at 515 fps. Is it possible those three low numbers were errant? I probably put close to a hundred shots through the gun before I chrony'd it so bottom line, are these numbers typical for the 1100 or is it underperforming?

Should I return it and demand another one with better bluing? Heck, my 99$ G1 has perfect bluing. Speaking of the G1, that screamer had a high 975 and a low of 943 with regular Crosman pointed pellets. I took care to clean the rails with alcohol and used loctite and the front scope ring still came loose and the scope scooted back, I had to re-zero.

Was it an 800 or a 400 fps shot that nailed the chrony? ;-)

Thanks Mike, When I saw what happened, my stomach sank but it's pretty minor as far as accidents go. I think I was getting tired from cocking that thing so much... anyway thanks again.

You probably all heard about that guy who eats all kinds of stuff that shouldn't be eaten, I bet he has some good side dishes for it!

And compared to the Trail 1100, the G1 is a bargain at 99$ and sometimes Dicks has them on sale for ten or twenty bucks less.

i think you can get a new display from Chrony
or send in the whole unit for a upgrade

I'll have to look into that. I think I'll start with a call or email to Pyramyd Air.

Any other other Trail 1100 owners out there that have an opinion on a high of 891 fps? And what about those those three low numbers, twice in the 400's?

1377x · « **Reply #15 on:** May 03, 2011, 11:14:01 PM »

check their web site
i saw it in the manual that comes with the chrony

Mine stays at around 890 fps, would say to continue the testing as it could just be an errant couple of shot's, BUT you done killed your chrony LOL. Don't feel bad norka you should see what a .300 win. mag does to one, not enough pieces to even ship back, think the sky screen's even had tears in them.

Sorry to read about your brand new chrony. Use a one piece mount on a springer....the two pieces will move on you.
