I have seen threads on how to do this before but I can't find them

I just got my intelli+retro valve setup today, I know that I am going to be in for a whole new feel on my mag. How is it that you are supposed to chrono a rt valve?

Also my rt valve is grey wtf??? i thought they were black.

Go to airgun.com and find the FAQ's. You have to hold the tirgger after each shot. Make sure you snap the trigger out the quickly pull it holding it after each shot. If you need anymore info its on the FAQ section under chronoing RT

Not really complicated..just different :) The problem is the valve re-charges so fast it heats the air up.. you have to give it time to cool down.. or keep the on/off closed until you're ready to shoot the next shot.(Hold trigger)

The requirements to chrono safely are imposed by field and tournament regulations. It just happens that the retro valve charges so fast that it generates heat while recharging. It must be chronoed during this heated condition to ensure that people can't take advantage of it and get hot shots during rapid firing.
