Just to be sure, would like to ask someone else with a MagnetoSpeed Sporter to try this... Also, I am not responsible if you shoot your bayo or other issues.
This $189 barrel mount chrono uses a magnetic field and is not affected by light, dirt, etc:

There is a more expensive version Ballistic Chrono V3 for $399 that has more features and has four sensitivity levels and supposed to work with airguns too while the Sporter does not. The Sporter has only two sensitivity levels. Some got the Sporter working with airguns on sensitivity Level "Hi 2", but it's limited by the diameter of the barrel or shroud or a moderator as the bayonet that attaches to the barrel/shroud/moderator and leaves a gap between the pellet's path and the sensor that is too large for the sensors to pick up. The only way to bring the gap to the proper distance where it can detect the pellet is the take off the shroud/mod and place the bayo on the naked barrel. It's not convenient to keep taking it off, it's much louder, and also may affect the POI with the shroud or moderator off.
So I bought a box of super magnets (neodymium) from Home Depot and placed two each on both sensors (held in place by the sensor magnets' own magnetic force). Maybe able to use one magnet on top of each sensor or maybe even three or four magnets each. What these very strong magnets do is they strengthen the magnetic field around both sensors increasing their detection distance and/or reduce the physical gap between the pellet path and the sensors by extending higher the magnetic field above the sensors themselves.
You have to take the same caution as with the stock setup making sure that the bayo (with the magnets on top of it) is not in the path of the pellet by observing the manufacturer's directions.
The way I tested it: I tried to get a reading by strapping the bayo on a shroud, but did not register. Next I placed two neo-magnets on top of each other and now the gap was within manufacturer's specifications. I tried with JSB 18gr and JSB RS 14gr, and both worked fine. I took off the magnets, and could not get any readings again. Note: make sure to place on the magnets before you plug the bayo cable it into the module because it needs to calibrate itself first with the new magnetic field.
