[QUOTE="Northwoods001, post: 1815917, member: 108780"] After purchasing my first unit I was always extremely careful when using my chrony and had it for a good many years, too proud of the fact that I was smart enough not to put a hole in it. Then one day I brought home a new 45 colt clone and in my excitement set the chrony on the handrail of the deck rather than a tripod(mistake #1). Then in my haste used a broom handle to steady my aim (mistake #2) and proceeded to send all 6 rounds downrange in a slow methodical fashion taking care to not sway too much. When I blew it off the handrail on round number 3 I stood there astonished....like how could that have happened. But that's not the best part, when I got my new chrony a few weeks later my boy brought home a new pellet rifle. So, I put the new chrony back on handrail sure I would be double careful from that fresh experience not to have a Deja Vu moment and you guessed it....put a pellet right through the plastic of the rear eye. I once read in a magazine that all shooters in the world belong in one of two categories, those that have shot their chronograph and everyone else who will....and eventually you're going to transition quickly from one category into the other.
