I got the Caldwell unit from Cabela's and have shot it twice now, yet it still works good (consistent) despite some of the bad reviews. Once with a .30 pellet where the upper edge of the screen meets the case, ricocheting through and down, blowing the battery and other plastic bits out. And a second time, with a pretty decent grazing shot across the top back half of the unit with a .357 slug that creased the unit.

I feel it’s essential if you want to tune a pcp. I have a Chrony Beta that’s really old, Labradar, and a cheap china barrel mounted I just bought. I plan on testing it next to the labradar

I bought it.The price has gone up a its. I paid $32. It works but as the old adage goes you get what you pay for. I was at a range and compared it to a more expensive chronograph that had Bluetooth and talked back to you. It was very accurate compared to the more expensive one. If all you need is the FPS so you can tune your gun its works just fine. It does more but the UI is very clugi and not very friendly. I basically strapped it over the barrel and snug it down.
It is an invaluable piece of equipment if you have a PCP. Its an extremely important tool that in my book its more of a necessitity. I shoot three diffrent ammo types. Cheap Crossman Hollow Point 14g, FX 18g, H&N 23g Slug. All shoot very accurately when tuned to 880 for the FX, 923 for the Crossman and 892 for the H&N. If it wasnt for the Chrono it would be impossible to get decent groups.

i looked at LabRadar and just kept looking at it for several weeks , decided i just do not need all the features and caldwell does not sell screens so p took a pass . nice machines though.

I bought a Caldwell premium setup from a pawn shop for $50. I still have yet to use it. Too many other things to do around here.

I like the looks and function of those. You can order an adapter from ebay, but shipping is around 10.00. I may go for one later. All that said I got the 23.00 one from Amazon yesterday, it works and has fps. I used an Buck rail adapter and taped metal bracket inside to protect everything.

I bought a used Caldwell Precision Chrono with light bars a few years ago from another forum. I think I spent around $80 for it. Probably the best investment I've ever made for shooting. I use it all the time for airguns, PBs and all of my archery equipment. It's really a must-have for anyone that wants to be precise with their projectiles.
The pocket chronos seem nice and more conveneient for airgun use, but unfortunately many of them have speed limits that won't allow them to be used with PBs. So something to keep in mind if applicable.

Could never get mine to work indoors until I bought these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028POEHU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Almost doubled the cost, but does work pretty good indoors.
