I shoot don’t at public ranges, so no interference. Could see that happening. CrowIf you shoot at a range with other shooters, watch out for the popularity of the doplar style chronos. Read where a guy was getting errors as there were 4 or 5 other shooters using the same type of chronos on the line and they could not figure out who's readings were who's.
If you have the cash and really want a simple never miss a shot all in a nice package chronograph that also has BC capabilities the FX true ballistics is the best but I've also heard nothing but good things about the Garmin and that lets you stick to just the basic chronograph and offers a nice savings and in a nice size package as well.
For conventional chronographs I've found the Caldwell G2 works best for me and that's over ~5 years of use in daylight and in the shop over 1,000's and 1,000's of pellets if you are aligned with the sensors I've had almost no issues with getting good readings that said its not nearly as easy to transport and setup wherever as the radar based units. It beats the original Caldwell hands down, the inverted setup with a rechargeable battery for the lights makes a huge difference and the form factory is much nicer and quick and easy to assemble and disassemble but its still bulky and a hassle to get setup in front of the rifle compared to a radar unit.
I didn't have much success with the FX pocket chronograph but didn't play with it for to long to trouble shoot.
Thanks Hateful. CrowYa, that comp elet. With Bluetooth is nice and not near the compliment you see with cadwells especially on apps not working..lol
Me I just use a cheap bolt on barrel china one .. shows mps at the muzzle , and at my accepted fps goal and a 10 shot string with a tight +/- of that fps goal it's good . Or good enough for me..
Anyway if I had to buy different it would be the comp electric with Bluetooth .
Thanks, I’m leaning towards the Garmin. It’s sounding more what I’m looking for.
