    chronograph on androids

    I downloaded a chronograph program to my android and chronoed my BW longbow 57@27 using goldtip trads weighing 540 grains i set the program up at 5 yards and got readings between 201 & 204. Than 10 yards and got a reading between 166 & 170 fps. So would u call this an adequate portrayal of my bows performance and effeciency. I guess what I'm asking should i delete it and/or find a better program.

    I'd say the 166-170 might be right. you can buy a chrono online at wally world for less than $100

            No way to really tell without being able to compare to numbers off a real chronoghaph? I have no doubt that a 57# widow with a 9ish gpp arrow can shoot 200fps. I certainly would never had thought that it would drop that much in just 5yds though.

              The first value might represent a alue leaving the bow but i got numbers of the second value thru a real chrono

                I couldn't get it to work but I do have a lot of background noise so that could be the problem. I was thinking you should be in the 180 range.

                            How is a phone app through your smart phone accurately able to chronograph an arrow?

                              I'm not for sure, but I think I read somewhere that it measures the time between the sound of the shot and the arrow hitting the target, and then does a computation to figure it out.
