[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 415840, member: 4191"] Absolutely. Just have to build a skyscreen rail that will hold the variety of different makes and models of skyscreens. Other than that, it's just stringing the correct skyscreen cables to their proper jacks on the chronograph units. Then each shot fired will be recorded over each different chronograph concurrently. Here's a photo of the skyscreen rail I constructed to mount the 4 skyscreens for my current Oehler 33 and PACT chronographs: [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww125/pdhorwath/ChronoSetupwithSoapyWater_4-24-10.jpg[/IMG] The spacing on the Oehler skyscreens is 6'. The spacing for the PACT is 54". The PACT can be programmed to accept any skyscreen spacing in inches. The Oehler can be programmed for any whole number of feet, so it's set for the 6 foot skyscreen spacing. Each bullet fired is timed by both chronographs concurrently. BTW, I'm using the current model Oehler Skyscreen IIIs with the Oehler 33. An improvement over the older model Oehler skyscreens IMO and experience. I haven't decided if I'll try to mount the 35P skyscreens on this same rail or not. It'll be simple to mount the outer Primary skyscreens adjacent to the two existing Oehler skyscreens. Plenty of room to mount another skyscreen on both ends of this skyscreen rail. I'd still have to weld a 1/2" piece of aluminum tubing midway down the rail in order to mount the Oehler Proof channel skyscreen. I should be able to figure out how to weld a mount on for the middle proof-channel skyscreen without too much brainstorming. It doesn't have to be aesthetically pleasing or pretty. Just functional. And here's what I use to protect the skyscreens when I shoot over them at 1000 yds: [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww125/pdhorwath/AR500PlateProtectedSkyscreens.jpg[/IMG] Note the bullet splash mark from two outings ago at 1000 yds. The AR500 has already protected my four skyscreens from bullet damage once. I don't mount the plastic sunshields over the skyscreens when shooting over them at 1000 yds. And the adjustable stand to hold the 1/2" AR500 protective steel plating: [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww125/pdhorwath/IMG_0310.jpg[/IMG] Base for adjustable stand: [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww125/pdhorwath/IMG_0311.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
