The NateChrony airgun chronograph is a new, innovative range of projectile speed measurement devices that’s dedicated for use with air rifles and pistols.
The eponymous company and its products are the creation of Nathan Besh – hence Nate. His aim is to provide low cost, accurate chronographs that will help every airgunner achieve the best from his or her shooting.
NateChrony units are optical-sensing devices that attach to the muzzle of an airgun.
Nate is Australian – a proud “Aussie” – and all his products are designed and manufactured in that beautiful country. In the USA, they’re available through Pyramyd.
In order to achieve low cost combined with high quality measurement, NateChrony products are primarily 3D printed from high quality polymer. This provides robust, dimensionally-consistent devices that are tolerant of bumpy life in a typical range bag, Nate says.
Big cost is also saved by using your cellphone as the means of readout and storage for the data generated by the NateChrony airgun chronograph. However there’s no app to manage, just a simple web page interface.
The original – Version 1 – NateChrony airgun chronograph has been joined by a Mini version and the new Version 2. There’s also a range of adapters available and Nate encourages makers to produce their own 3d-printed adapters and even to sell these adapters themselves!
In fact, Nate will be attending the 2024 Pyramyd Cup, so anyone attending that event will be able to meet him there to find out all about his products. He’s also bringing a NateChrony with him for us to review in Hard Air Magazine.
Having talked to Nate by phone, he sounds a great guy and I’m looking forward to meeting him in person at “The Cup” very soon!
Nate takes the view – which I share – that there’s no point in measuring something unless you can do it accurately. So he’s worked with the Australian National Measurements Institute – the Australian Government’s national authority on measurement – in order to get independent testing on the NateChrony.
As a result, he now has “master chronographs” that EVERY NateChrony is calibrated against. This ensures that users can rely on the output that the NateChrony delivers because your unit has been tested and proven to deliver known, traceable results.
That’s HUGE!
So how accurate is it? Nate says that, in the absolute worst case – NateChrony will deliver readings with an accuracy of within 1 FPS at 1,000 FPS. That is better than 99.9% accuracy!
In my opinion, the combination of both precise and accurate measurements is a powerful combination that Nate conveys well in this video:
NateChrony prices start at $85.00 in the USA.

. I love the idea of a straw for alignment, may have to use that idea on my smaller calibers.
