Default Arrow Speed Radar Chron

Alright guys and gals, I just bought an Arrow Speed Radar Chron and was wondering what your take on it was. How accurate are they, do you like or dislike them?? I used it today for the first time and my bow speed was 275 fps @ 65lb draw.

PABowhntr wanted to try and compare one that he owns versus one my neighbor has using my Patriot. Then we'll compare against another brand (not sure what it is).

He thinks they tend to read around 10fps slower than the actual speed. We'll see what happens......

As fritz stated, I have one in my possession now. I feel it is very consistant but not as accurate as I would like. Check the link for a full explanation....

My comments may have been a little misguided. After comparing the Radarchron with the Prochrono (indoors) it appears that the Radarchron is only off by a few fps.
