Well I finally went and did it yesterday I joined the crowd

[kayaker]

Not a new gun , no 100 yd. moa , but SHOT my chronieeeeee . Stupid mistake I couldn't get it to work but when seeing my problem I decided to air up the gun for a full string of shots. Then placed my gun on the wrong spot in my rest (laid it on the barrel not my air tube) I got very lucky it still works . One of those days

We've all been there (or will be)! Looks like you got off with a warning!

Yep, that barely even breathed on it as it went by. Keep on trying, I bet you can get one dead center in that + inside the C.

 

[JamesD.]

Shoot long enough & it's bound to happen. Don't feel bad. 

 

[M0ist0ne]

Been there, done that too! Shot my prochrono digital right through the top of the front faceplate...and managed to somehow miss anything vital lol

 

[biohazardman]

Shot mine a few times, it took the hits like a champ, but like you I am not a chrony killer yet. Got another faceplate sticker so you can't even tell now. Dropped it once too. ;^( Had to straighten the metal out a bit but it's none the worse for wear and tear.

Save up for a LabRadar. I have one and love it.

Welcome to the club... I've killed 2....dont ask...

 

[sticman77]

welcome to our club!!! happy to hear it sounds like no flying plastic or deflected lead hurt anything or person!

another good reminder (for me at least) on why i should always have eye protection. accidents happen

 

[kayaker]

Well guys I left out the part I shot it TWO times back to back- feel real dumb- it sounded weird from the shot & seen the chrony move but thought it was a air blast . I looked at the front of the chrony no holes but seen where the pellet hit high on my rubber mulch trap- thought maybe pellet was clipping the tatsu . Well the second time I REALIZED what was happening . Must be my old age kicking in as the wife says your losing it day by day .I use to laugh when I seen people posting the same mistake but not anymore . Will be more on the ball from this experience ! But I'm in the club now LOL

Many of us have our membership cards already. Mine's pretty faded now.

You are not alone. When I first bought this chronograph in the 90’s, I blew it over several times with my .270 Win. It has also been stuck by pellets. Fortunately when I’ve had it at 50-80 yards checking actual pellet velocity at those distances.

Hmmmmmmmmm? FX product would be hard to hit hanging under barrel....UN-Less watch out Kid 4 Z ricochet! ~

 

[john8]

Well I'm glad to hear I'm nt the only one who has fits using the Cadwell. I've nicked mine, have threatened to shoot it on multiple occasions. Went out and got a FX Chrony.

It happens. I keep my Prochrono digital up close at one yard stick distance away from the muzzle for consistent reading between outings. I only set up the chrono after I have set my gun up at the lowest spot on my paper target so I know what I'll need for range between the rods. I have been lucky to date. It could still happen, but has been a good four years now being lucky.

Must be a PANDEMIC, I set mine out at 40 yards a couple of days ago and put two into the face plate ... Could not see where the first one went on the target and so ...

Yeah, just dropped $114 on Ebay to replace it. Had the thing for six or seven years and hit it once or twice when I got sloppy. This time though, I could not have hit it more square had I tried. Oh well... just a reminder. I think this makes the fourth one I've owned in this life. I did throw one cheap Chinese one in the trash. The rest of them were combat losses.

I had done that the last time when in my spare garage with a nice level floor but this time decided to shoot into my shop from my walkway .

Thanks for the comments guys !

No FX here do not own a fancy phone

Yes, I have stuck to my same process but would like to try shooting through it at say 25 yards for some BC numbers. If I did try that I would just place a block or something in front of the chrono and then review the numbers later. That should/might work.

 

[Saltlake58]

I haven't shot it YET. I'm sure my day will come.

 

[Quad82]

I have one sitting on the bottom of my pond. Had it sitting on the dock and shooting at a 50 yard target on the other side. Still don’t know why the 270 shot so low. Never bothered to retrieve it.
