The chronograph protection program

[Benchrest]

Not that I, benchrest, could possibly ever be responsible for the early demise of a chrono - Simply unfathomable! Even my forum handle reeks of precision, accuracy...

Ok, it must reek of something else, because I've shot two in the past year...

Step 1: Secure Digital Link to ProChrono.



Small Bluetooth device that plugs into the chrono's data port



Step 2: Replace metal screen rods with wooden dowels.



Perfect fit, 63 cents each at HD. I bought plenty of extras



Step 3: Load free software on tablet. The functionality is actually pretty cool - Name strings, keep notes, export in CSV format, etc...



Step 4: Buy some bricks



I'll build a plywood box for the bricks and make the front about 4 1/2" thick.

Pistol only of course - I'll test it, but imagine it'll suffice for (up to) hot 10mm.

Step 5: Learn to shoot accurately

Man, I can see myself doing the same dang thing.. time and time again.
I like your style though.. what's that little electronic doodad attached to the chrony.. a locator/proximity device?
Ah, I googled it. neat

In order to protect the chrono I have to block the screen - not gonna get up to look at every result

The black box connects to the data port and transmits via bluetooth to the tablet - The tablet function can be as simple as a remote display, or more complex, tracking strings with relevant load data, calculating FTlbs, ES, SD, and exporting it all to a spreadsheet.

Another tool in my quest to reinvent the wheel

Nice sticks n bricks! Nice save!

Thought about AR500 steel, then thought the proximity...

Bricks in a box, bit safer me thinks.

My last one pretty much got it right between the eyes

What little I've read has been positive - very accurate units. Of course they're only applicable to rifles.

I shall hold out for a Labradar, and it will be positioned besides me, and i will not shoot it

I had one get knocked over in the wind, and another get rained on, but I've never shot one, YET....
Knock on wood.....

 

[rick benjamin]

I've used a Chrony since they first came out. Replaced the cardboard guides several times, but haven't shot it. Still works fine. Shoot, write down the velocity, shoot, write again. No memory.

Last year I bought a CED Millennium 2
It has memory for 1000+ shots, the brain sits safely on the bench. Kill a bullet sensor, replace it. It averages, reports spread, comes with a bunch of software I've yet to try.

 

[Benchrest]

As I take the minutiae of this hobby to the absurd... I'm looking forward to utilizing the included software to it's fullest.

Start a string, enter the details, and enjoy shooting - print a spreadsheet when I get home and pour over the numbers whenever.
