[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1092541, member: 50867"] I have two MagnetoSpeed Chronographs. The V2 and the Sporter. You will read that the MagnetoSpeed changes the point of impact when compared to the shots fired without the bayonet attached. That's true. But it doesn't change the group size. A Chrono isn't intended to be used as a sighting accuracy instrument. It's purpose is to provide MV information. No chronograph I have ever used (and I've used a bunch of 'em) provides more consistently accurate MV information than the MegnetoSpeed. It is a bit of a hassle to remove it from one rifle and put it onto another one. It takes an incredibly long two or three minutes. About as long as it took to remove the second rifle from its case. But the open frame chronographs need to be leveled so that they're on the same plane as the bullet path. They are sensitive to atmospheric conditions including direction and intensity of sunlight. Their accuracy can be affected by the distance they're planted in front of the muzzle. They're often bulky and troublesome fo set up. In your situation I'd pick up the MagnetoSpeed Sporter for the rifle(s) and buy a used open frame model for the bow. That'd be a win/win IMO. gun) ----------------------- X [/QUOTE]
