I am perfectly satisfied with my pocket FX chrony. Hard to shoot it. Lol, i have put an arrow into a labradar before. Zero stars, i do not recommend.

You will shoot it again. Just make a plate to go in front of it like the jolly ole chap from across the pond.

Do not do that again.
Happy to help out a fellow airgunner.
Personally never had an issue using a pro chrono Mounted on a tri-pod. Setting it on the bench in front of rifle "may" have had a few boo boo's.

Many years ago, I shot mine too. Sent it back to the factory and they rebuilt it for $50. Don't know if they still offer that service.

I had a "shooting chrony" I think it was for several decades but shot it one too many times trying to get a reading on an air rifle indoors. I don't plan to get another and the expense of a dopler one seems like a waste. The little cheap ones do not miss shots and can be right at the muzzle of an air rifle so you should not hit it. But I am talented enough to do it. It was a tripod unit which I prefer because they don't affect zero. But knockouts came out of my P35-177 so wildly it got hit. But the replacement was only $30 and gives me fps which the first one didn't. These units work so well I don't see a reason to get a "better" one.

My first crony survived two glancing shots off its top … didn’t penetrate the metal casing. My Son finally killed it with a shot through the brain.
Fortunately, my second crony (Caldwell) works way better than the first

The tripod mounts are a little harder to find, I get them from Aliexpress, but they do not attach to the gun. I have a clamp on too but it affects my point of impact so I don't like to use it if I'm target shooting as I usually do when collecting velocity data. The tripod mount does not attach to the gun you just set it in front of the muzzle. No impact on point of impact and it doesn't matter how the muzzle of the gun is shaped.

I didn't know "Chronograph Season" had started I have yet to get my limit!!! I will say that does sound EXPENSIVE.

I'm still working on the back lip of my Beta Chrony. The top of the sensor housing is almost gone. I figure a dozen sessions or so will finish it off.

Great thread!
I haven't managed to hit one of mine yet, but there's still hope for the future. The Caldwell allows for a cable to cell-phone connection. Thinking that an angled metal shield in front of the display might be the way to go.

I shot mine also , took it apart and Emailed the company , must be a popular thing to do but the company doesn't sell the display . So i looked at the part # and manufacture . Emailed them in Japan and got a nice reply saying " we would be happy to sell you this item , Mnium order is 10.000 parts "

I position my Pro Chono no more than 12" in front of the muzzle TriggerTreat's Excel spreadsheet allows you to input this distance for doing the calculations. I consistently use the same POA downrange to insure exact path over the sensors on every shot.
