Chronograph

[jeramiej]

What chronograph are you guys using? I have an old x-radar, but hate the “hold just right to the barrel” method. Would prefer to shoot through the area. What has everyone found to be reliable? Thanks!

I have a Big Red

me to, best chrono ever

I doubt the accuracy of my xradar. I would like to get a big red one or maybe something else stationary of similar quality. Can ones for firearms be used or maybe ones for pellet/air rifles? .

I just picked up one of the Caldwell's today

I needed something that can measure in a shorter range than my little yellow radarchron

Have not tried it out yet, can report later

I have a yellow Radarchron but it doesn't work that well... I'm pretty sure it reads about 20FPS low, too.

This guy. The seller did a test compared to other chronos and it was constantly 5 fps low. That’s good enough for me.

I scored a Big Red on Craigslist a number of years ago for a great price. They're the best. I've used the little yellow Radarchron and the Virtue Clock and they're a bit finicky and I'm skeptical of their accuracy at times. More so with the Radarchron than the Virtue.

I use a Radarchron. Mine has been spot on. It is a battery hog so if you use it a lot, might need to change the battery more often.
It needs to be 1-2 inches from the tip of the barrel.

Mine actually broke and i repaired it, so maybe that's why mine works

Got a small radachron too.
seem to get consistent reading when 1 to 2 inches in front of the barrel ... The "barrel clamp" method get reading all over the place ...

Now I think of it, I need to bring it to the field and test it against the ones they have ...

[Trbo323]

The Caldwell seems to do pretty good. I need to compare to the radarchron but overall it's pretty nice to have a Chrono station that's all of 2 feet long

Thank you for the input so far. Is there any experience with these? I have precharged air rifles and archery that could benefit from a chrono such as this, along with paintball.

I use the Virtue Clock it works well but for pumps you need two hands to chrono. For that I much prefer the Good Old Big red. The Clock just fits in a gear bag more easily and takes up less room and I got it for a killer deal in a trade.

I would love to find a big red... I have the Xradar and the virtue3 both work great but would really like a big red.

I mean, I don't have that exact one but my Caldwell is the same basic idea. Uses timing lights rather than radar. So far it's been great, but I have only shot over it a total of 6 times
