Chrony...Yea or nay?

I took a look at that MKiii after you said that your getting one. I think you made a good choice brother. I like its features, I would not need the metric setting, but I know you do Have you had a chance to do the pellet pool test without shooting the pet croc ? Dale

Read the PM brother, cool results.

"Zoey"Thanks! For better or worse, I ordered the Air-Chrony MKIII.

Good luck with your new chrony. Let us know how you like it.

All the Best,

"DellaDog"Just got the Ballistic Precision Chronograph from Amazon today ($73)
Tested 40 shots with AirWolf and had 1 error shot out of 40, not bad at all.
Shot without the rods and screens attached on a partly sunny, shaded patio.
It's a keeper. (And so is the Wolf!)

Yep, that Caldwell Ballistic Precision model is a keeper. I have one also, but now I also have a Caldwell G2 chrony.

The G2 goes the Ballistic Precision model one better in that it has a built-in light source for shooting in poor light conditions. When I shot through both of them, lined up one behind the other, my fps readings varied by about 6 fps, I can't recall the faster reading one, but I don't worry about 6 fps. I can set the Ballistic Precision model at the entrance of my garage and it does great, as long as the day is bright and sunny, but when the shadows fall on it, it starts giving me those blasted Error readings, but when I set the G2 in the same place and shoot through it, in poor lighting, it has always read the shot.

I keep the G2 assembled on a tripod and am using it more and more - I may end up putting myCaldwell Ballistic Precision model up for sale - but not yet.

I wound up buying the Caldwell deluxe model with the IR LED lights. Only thing need to worry about is getting the unit level so both sensors read. But lighting is no longer an issue.

Sounds like I made a good choice in getting the G2. Mine will be here in a few days then the fun will begin. Will post update as to how I do with mine.
