Xt x3006 chronograph

It looks like you shoot through it and then have to look at the top to see the speed. Doesn’t seem very convenient unless I’m misunderstanding how it works.

I can’t speak to that one.
I have one like this and it’s very dependable. There is one similar to this that sets on a stand too. Just be sure to get the model that can be changed to fps. The early versions only listed mps.

I have used Fx v2 pocket,
that thing is terrible to use,
returned it.
now I m using pro chrono dlx bt version,
this thing eats batteries but it’s super fun to use…

I use a garmin xero now and it’s the best I’ve ever used. Way overpriced but really high quality.
I have a pro-chrony, fx v1, and a couple of the type I showed above. Before the Garmin, I ended up only using the cheap ones above. I blew my first one off the end of my Texan during a valve dump and it still works after putting the pieces back together. I also shot one of the emitters off and replaced it with one from a tv remote and it still works.
What happened to yours? Most people like them.
Good luck,
Dave

Air rifle pellets can be a *lot* harder for detection than airsoft, so the reliability of Airsoft kit can be hit & miss.
If you're pushing 22cal+ slowly (500-700fps) - probably okish in a lot of cases
xt-3006 - i've seen reports of issues with detection of .177's (UK forums)
I havent seen inside a 3006, but the typical airsoft ones are built pretty poorly from an accuracy point of view. (the orange shoot through ones i've seen inside of)
The method of assembly & internals mean it just cant be that accurate, expect a variation of at least 10-20fps @ 1,000fps best case.
Are cheap ok?
They definitely can be - depends on what you need it for. If you use them a lot & need a known accurate reading, maybe not.
If they are shown to be consistent with results & the overall number doesnt matter, then it'd be useful - you can shoot & get a number, do tuning & compare the new numbers.

I didn't have problems with FX v1 (except rarely it would not register a shot) but did not try v2. Should I stay away from v2?
