RE: Chronographs?
Well, I recently bought a new "Chrony" in the Beta Master series. Easy to use and understand. Brings the digital readout screen back onto the shooting bench with you, so you can see your numbers immediately. I think it's a nice piece for the money. You can get simpler models in the "Chrony" line too, if you choose. So far, I'm pleased with it. Wish I'd gotten one years ago.
I've got the Shooting Chrony Beta Master and have been really pleased with it. It's easy to set up and doesn't take up much room when stored away. I do occassionally get bad readings (or no readings), but overall it works well.
I have a chrony F1- it olnly costs around $69.
It works well, but like BC said, you need plenty of light.

I got a chrony back in the mid 80's, the ones with the black plastic shoot throughs. If the light wasn't right you got a lot of errors. I got tired of that and bought a new chrony last year. Under the same conditions I have yet to get any errors. I looked at all the models and got the F1, its real simple. Just un-fold it and attach it to your tripod. No cables to run from the unit to your bench. I don't always set it up,depends on how busy the range is. I made up a range sheet and just write down each shot.
