Ladies and gentlemen I need your help. There is a young man on another forum that I frequent that doesn't use a chronograph. That forum has a much smaller audience. I'd appreciate it if you could relate your knowledge and experience about this. The quotes below are from posts on that forum.
It is from a paintball forum that has a lot of youth. I'm not telling you how to communicate, but I'd view it as a personal favour if you wouldn't use a lot of profanity.
Thanks!

"I've played at an organized field 2 times, I've played paintball for 2 yrs.I have chronoed My gun 2 times. the closest field is 2 1/2 hrs away. after playing at least 50 afternoons, I've chronoed 2 times? man thats pretty sad. I would buy a chrono, but who has an extra 80 bucks lyin around? I actually have used a vlocity before, but I don't consider that a chrono, that thing just throws out random numbers in between the broken paintballs. I shot probably 7 times and about 5 broke in the thing, not in my barrel, in the vlocity.but for 20 bucks I might get one, MIGHT! I'd love to get a chrono for our group considering every1 cranks there velocity as high as they can without breaking too much paint. every1 says my gun sucks cause it doesn't shoot as far as theirs, with they're velocity screwed in as far as it can go, with a high tension spring...the time I did chrono it was like 315, so I turned it down and then tried not to touch it for a while, last time I did check it, about a month and a half ago, it was 303, I turned it down to 290. one kid in our group shot his m98 at a 5 gallon paint bucket a bunch of times and finally started putting holes in it...its a good thing he doesn't play with us very often... a chrono would be a good thing for my group. I've tried to get em to bring money for one but uhh, 80 bucks for a chrono? just so it won't hurt as bad? they've never brought any money."

"well, uhh, I know you guys think I really need a chrono, and I really want one, but I don't have 80 bucks and the guys I play with wouldn't even bring 5 when I suggested it. I could save up and get one for 80 bucks but that means that I wouldn't be able to play due to lack of paintballs for 2 and a half months. 2 1/2 months w/out paintball? We play every sunday afternoon so that means I'd miss out on around 10 afternoons? I am thinking no. as much as I'd like to "
