Chronographs Recommendatons for PCP Tuning

I have owned an Oehler, Shooting Chrony F1, and a Competition Electronics Pro Chronograph with IR light kit. I loved my Oehler, but they are no longer made and it was tragically shot and destroyed. The Shooting Chrony was ok but I had alot of errors. My CE Pro has been perfect and the best overall I have had. However, I did put the IR lighted screens on my Shooting Chrony and it worked much better than before. So, I like the added CE pro features over the basic Shooting Chrony F1 model I had, but I think the IR screens are the contributing factor to flawless performance from my CE Pro. I still overall like the CE best, but I will highly recommend IR screens regardless of brand. I hear alot of good things about the Caldwell chronograph also. CE is a great company offering an American made servicable chronograph and they stand behind every product they sell. I have used there RC car chargers and even there shooting timers and the few issues I ever had, they took care of me.

I own the Competition Electronics Pro Chronograph , excellent value (look around they are about $100 or a dollar less on sale). I had the Shooting chrony , not total junk but not worth what they cost. I chose the Competition Electronics Pro Chronograph because it was what I saw used at the FT Nationals & Worlds.

I have a Shooting Chrony F1. I've only had problems with it on a bright, sunny, nearly cloudless sky without the diffusers installed. Every time I've used the diffusers it has been perfect. The last time I used it over 2 days of tuning on my front porch, more than 200 shots over it with 0 problems.

I just ordered and received one of these...it seems accurate with no errors compared to my RCBS Chrony. Love the size and no diffusers...you just hold the muzzle to the opening and shoot. Does not seem to be bothered by low light or direct sun. Stores up to 250 shots. It's from the Czech Republic but I received it in less than a week after paying via PayPal.

+1 on the pro chronograph.
I just took some of those led lights you can get at Harbor fright for like 3.50 and velcroed them under the defusers. Have never had a problem with mine.

If you do order the Competition Electronic Pro Chrono I'd suggest splurging on their blue tooth digital link transmitter =medium (its $70). The Digital Link software is free from AppStore (if you are in Apple universe). Its available for both iPhone and iPad, and the latter makes a really nice screen when shooting shot strings, plus you get voice read out of last shot fps with variable delay, you can save configs for different rifles and pellets, export as cvs, pdf etc & have a nice screen while you are shooting. This really enhances the CE chrono package, and the software costs you nothing! I highly recommend both the Chronograph and the =mediumDigital Link transmitter

The blue tooth module also works for Androids. Very cool setup.

I have the bluetooth transmitter on my ProChrony and it works great to my iPhone.

Oehler wasn’t made for a while, but is again:

I had one, but now use a CED Pro Chrono with Bluetooth and light kit that I really like.
