Highly Recommended Add-on For Your Chrony

[FukoChan]

Back in the day i struggled to get good readings with my chronograph. It would have to be perfectly sunny with no clouds in sight. If it wasn't then my chrony wouldnt give a speed reading. It was a huge annoyance during sudden overcast or shooting in the shade. Id have to shoot my airgun in the sun/heat.



Now i have purchased this indoor shooting lamp for my chrony that I recommend you guys get if you had to deal with the above. You can find it on amazon and i can finally chrono my gun in all weather conditions including storm and overcasts. Best part is that it is compatible with most chronographs. 40$ and i turned my 60% chance of a reading to 95%!

+1 I agree. I use the caldwell with the led kit and I rarely ever get an error. If I do it is because I wasn't shooting straight!

I have one of this too works really well, I highly recommend too.

I've had one for good while now and I haven't had a read error since. It's a must have in my opinion.

I am using a pair of the Harbor Freight LED lights that look like a standard wall light switch fastened to my screens with magnets. Quick, easy, effective and above all CHEAP! lol

Hahahah. Great idea. So we just need a bright LED light then. Mine is invisible light. Is it infrared? What type of light works for these chronos?

I set up a basement range a couple of years ago and could not get a chrony to read properly. I have a technical background so I called the chrony manufacturer and asked what were the wavelengths their chrony sensors were most sensitive.too. Normal indoor lighting had very low levels of these wavelengths and that explained why my basement chrony would not work. I added a light source that emitted these required wavelengths and have not had a bad chrony reading since then.

Just got mine from AMAzonny ,works great,should have got it a long time ago!!

I specifically bought a chronograph with rows of infra red transmitters and receivers - they are not light sensitive in any way

Its time all the chronograph manufacturers ditched the light sensitive sensors - if people stop buying the old type, the manufacturers will re-design to IR
