[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1688139, member: 110896"] [ATTACH=full]144421[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]144419[/ATTACH] The problem I've read about with the MagnetoSpeed chrono is that it can sense the combustion gases, which are considerably higher than the velocity of the bullet. It has to be precisely mounted, or you may get that problem. I'm cheap, so I use the ProChrono and have it precisely aligned so I do not hit it with a bullet. I put 5/32" O-rings on the uprights, put little binder clips on them so I can see them from 15 feet, put clips on the skyscreens and use a golf shaft to aim the chrono at the target. I align everything and once that's all done, I very rarely ever fail to capture a shot. The clips are placed high enough up the uprights to allow for plenty of space for the bullet to pass over the body of the instrument. The bullet's path is represented as the blue line. Works 99.99% of the time... To keep too much sunlight from blinding the sensors if I'm still shooting when the sun gets close to directly overhead, I cut a piece of smoked Plexiglas to serve as sunglasses for them. That also works to near a 100% success rate. [/QUOTE]
