Chronograph suggestions for that work with Guns and Bows.

[cellguy]

Hi,
I plan to work some loads for my 300PRC. I'm looking to see what Chronograph people are using nowadays. I saw the Magneto but I don't think it will work on Bows and Handguns. I see so many versions out there just wondering what people are using with success. Thanks

No responses? I was looking to maybe get a Chronograph also. don't need super hi-tech just basic accurate info. I'm just wanting to find out what is reliable and yet the most economical. I don't want to spend $300 if an $150 unit will fit the bill but don't want to spend $150 for a paperweight to find out I should have spent $300

LabRadar.

Do none of the other options work?

I have the CED M2 for several years. I like it. Some people say they had bad luck. I have no idea if LabRadar can handle bows!

I used to run a cheap $100 chrono where you unfold it and shoot over the sensors. Worked for my bows as well.

I have the old CED with screens. Does not work on real cloudy days so you have to plan. It works. I have shot everything threw it. I usually set it up and test with my 22 pistol to make sure all is functioning. The new stuff have cool features but all have some draw back

Thanks

I bought the infrared screens, works sunny, cloudy might even work nights, don't want to find out

I would almost exclusively use mine for rifle. I don't mind spending money on good tools, but sometimes you will get the same results out of a Craftsman wrench vs a Snap-on

Sorry but what is CED.

I would normally agree....but that has not been my experiences with chronographs. Before I had the CED M2, mine was super basic that may or may not spit out the right numbers....when it worked.

It is a brand, competitive edge dynamics. Someone else bought the company. Still marketed with same name.

Fair enough. That's why I was looking on this site. The people on this have been GREAT sharing knowledge and real world experiences. Im just trying to learn from the mistakes of others so to speak and not spend good money after bad. Thanks Beluebow
