Chrono recommendations?

Hi Kiwi,
Most work as they should. But as with anything in life, u get what u pay for.
Most of the expensive ones have more features then the average guy needs.
I think some also have velocity ranges that they work with in, so check if it will suit your needs, meaning arrows travel at 200-320fps, pellets travel at 400-1200fps, bullets travel from 900-4000fps.

An experiance I had last week… 🤔 chronographs work with light, there are two sensors usually looking up, and they measure a very slight changes in the amount of light they are recording, ie, the “shadow” of the pellet passing over the sensor triggers it. This means they will not work under artificial lights lights like LCD’s that flicker extreamly fast. Some will come with defusers to help with that. I was struggeling to get mine to give me readings indoors, so I had to go outdoors, but it’s been dark cloudy overcast raining for days so again I was struggeling for days to get any readings. Very frustrating.
Pauly has a very fancy one which has its own light sources and therefore none of the problems mine (and many others) would have.
Hope some of that helps.

I don’t have any experiance of those, but if it’s got good reviews, I’d say go for it 👍🏻

Seen the FX in use, nice bit of kit.

Yea, the good thing about the FX is that you can punch paper a lot easier while recording speeds. (Allowing for any drop if it's mounted on the barrel) But it was just my preference to keep it as simple as possible.

Do you have the listing number as I can't find it?  Perhaps it's sold already.

Thanks for that but for the extra $80 I think I'll buy a new one with a warranty.  Cheers.

I have a prochrono digital that has given me good performance. Useful for measuring FPE and more importantly for giving me muzzle velocity to use in ballistics apps like the Hawke app. If you have a rangefinder you can estimate pellet drop / holdover required. I haven't had any issues with odd readings etc. Biggest issue is ensuring good lighting with sunlight - already discussed. I have used i indoors close to a sunny window.
