Velocity cannot be properly determined without a Chronograph. There is no magic number of turns that you use to set it. Go to a commercial field or buy a handheld chrono. If you are planning on playing at a non-commercial site/private field you or someone in your group needs to invest in a handheld chrono. They can be found online at http://www.actionvillage.com - www.actionvillage.com , http://www.compulsivepaintball.com - www.compulsivepaintball.com , http://www.paintball-discounters.com - www.paintball-discounters.com , etc. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |
