Getting best crony results
Hey guys,
I just had a question about tuning and shooting over the crony and wanted your opinions.
I am going to be running my Cricket .25 over the crony today and getting my reg and HST in sync. Is it more accurate to fill to 200 bar and shoot till I fall off the reg or is it better to tether it to my tank. I am not concerned with knowing how many shots I get until I get it to where I want it but I also want to make sure the results will be the same regardless if I am tethered or not. In other words, I don’t want to tether it and get it to where I want it and it not be the same consistency once untethered.
So, do I tether and tune or fill and tune.
Thanks in advance.

For me anyhow the tail of the shot string tells me a lot.
i usually tune it from 150 to 120 or like 10 bar below the reg set point….. you know when u have a good tune when the reg is set at 130 bar, but when shooting over the crony it looks like its set at 120 bar…..
then i usually run a full string just to verify….
Yes, I agree with you. Leaving it tethered, now that I really think about it, I wouldn’t see what happens right before it falls off the reg. Sometimes it spikes if the Reg is set to high.
Thanks for your insight, it got me racking my brain a little.
I wouldn’t leave it teather while trying to tune it in unless that is how the gun is going to be shot.
Now if you close your tank but don’t bleed the line ( use the tank gauge to monitor gun pressure ) Thats how i do it.
But i like to watch it near the Regulator cutoff so i only fill to 150 – 175 bar and shoot it down till it comes off the regulator watching my gauge on the tank.
The issue i see with leaving it tethered to a full size tank while tuning is this. The regulator and springs inside the regulator will react differently at 130 bar compared to at 220 bar.
so if you tune the gun at 200 bar thats where it should be shot at. while if you tune it over the whole volume of the airtube u will balance it out.

I am a novice
But 200 bar is 200 bar, The gun will shoot the same until it falls off the regulator ,
Now if you tie into the tank , Its not going to fall off the regulator.
That’s what a regulator is for to keep the FPS more constant ….
Anybody If I am wrong correct me,,,
So KBG tune it either way,,,,

Nobody know if it makes a difference?

I am learning to, Thanks guys,
It seems like the more I know the less I learn or something like that…
In a couple of years I will be an expert.
