Ya your right, I did that backwards on mine. Anyways I just used the first sound peak from each channel. I had my recording set at 96000hertz so accuracy for measurement is .00001 seconds (make sure to use beginning of peak) at 20 feet~6.096meters my measure time was .0096seconds so 6.096/.00989seconds~ 616.38m/s +or - 0.6m/s due to accuracy limitation. Measurement accuracy will get significantly worse at closer distances or with lower recording frequencies. I originally thought of using optical sensors, but I figured the muzzle flash would mess that up,

What is the time between the launch peak in the left channel and the launch peak in the right channel?

0.01783seconds. By the way when I say peak I'm not actually talking about the highest point but when the sound begins to peak.
