Chronograph recommendations?

Post by Weetabix »

A friend and I want to start playing with chronographing various rounds.

Any recommendations for one that gives reasonable accuracy at a reasonable price?
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Thanks, Chris. Apparently even the prices haven't changed.

Ditto. But mine still works after two. Fast Rope's wasn't so lucky!

The only thing I've shot on it so far was a cable that went between the lights.

Anyone here had good success with DIY indoor lighting? This puck light solution looks simple. Wonder how well it works. Wouldn't the lights work better above (shining through) the diffusers?

That's reassuring. I was going to suggest getting one that had parts easily obtainable and easily changed. as I forget who here said it, but he said there are two categories of chronographs, those that have been shot, and those that will be shot.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .
