Thread: New acoustic chronograph

Well mine arrives on Friday, so had a play this weekend at the range.

My Shooters Chrony often gives E1 errors so I was keen to see how the acoustic one compares. Shooting a 223, the Super Chrony reads about 50fps lower than the Shooters Chrony, any the last 3 shots at the RH target gave E1 errors with my Shooters Chony , but read ok with the new Super Chrony.

I've had a suspicion my Shooters Chrony is reading high for a while now, so I think the Super Chony's 50fps lower readings are probably more accurate.

The super chrony is much quicker to setup, less sensitive to poor light conditons affecting getting a reading, but for gods sake why did they go to all that trouble making a custom moulding and then not make the display vertical so you can read it from the shooting position! .... I now have to get up and walk in front of the firing line to read each shot, and find something hard to write against to record my results. Stupid design faults like that make me wonder what the designer was thinking of...they have ruined what could have been the ultimate chonograph!

NB I had it set up just in front on my Shooter Chrony, so about 2-3m out from the muzzle. I suppose I could bring it in closer, but I'm really struggling to understand why they would make the LCD screen at such a flat angle! I must admit that was my first thought when I first read Norways reviews, but nobody else has pointed out the difficulty in reading the bloody thing from the shooting position.

Cheers
