If you are looking for a chronograph, this might be worth looking into.
Though I have nothing to compare it to, I really like this chronograph.
Yes, it takes a bit if a setup for each gun, and I have not tested it on all of my guns yet, but so far, this thing just works. I don't have to have a tripod, or table to put it on (offhand shooter here), so I can hold the readout in my hand, or put it into my pocket, and shoot away. I don't have to be concerned about the sun and or shadows, or rain, or heavy clouds, don't have to worry about shooting it (I've seen a some of your pictures of shot-up chronographs !), once set for the sensitivity, so far, it seems to be happy with that setting thought the testing. Though I don't know yet how the lightest pellets and switching to the heaviest pellets might affect it, I did put a 14gr then a 17.7gr (.22 cal.) pellet into the magazine, and it read both fine. I can stand, sit, lay down and shoot, with no change of the setup. I can move around, stand here, move over two feet and shoot. It's really nice in that too.
Accuracy wise, all I can say that the youtube videos, other than the manufacturers, claim it is as, or more accurate than most. The repeatability of the unit vs the gun...on my Prophet Performance (the full sized version) the repeatability was +/- 3 ft/sec., (6 total !) in 9 rounds. Gun or chronograph...don't know, most probably a combination of both.
In any case, just like with...ALL...chronographs, unless you have two or three to test, you have no idea which one(s) is reading "more" correctly. If it reads 10 ft/sec off, it really doesn't matter since you REALLY don't know...but as long as it's repeatable, that is the MAIN consideration. And so far this seems to be repeatable.
More use / testing in days to come.
