No thanks.. I really would hate setting one up and besides that, I have hinted to a friend that I would like one. We will see how well she takes a hint.

They really are fun to play with. I have the ProChrono Pal ($110 at Cabala's with free shipping if you have a Cabala's card.) and it does everything I need done. Just be sure to buy or make a shield if you shoot sabots over it. Also, a cheap second hand store camera tripod makes it easier to set up.

A shield is easy to make if you have some plexiglass. Drill four hole for the rods and bend it with heat from a torch. It looks like this.

Has anyone shot through a Chronograph at 100 yards? I would love to shoot through one to confirm what ballistics programs say. I just can't muster up the guts to do it. My Chronograph is one of the last Ohler 35's before they stopped making them. I understand that they are back up and running but i don't want to risk it. Ron

as accurate as your guns are ron, i wouldnt have ever though to see the day when you worried of hitting something you weren't aiming at :D

I know what you mean... but it is done. I would also suggest that you remove the sky screens, so it need to be a cloudy day, and set the chrono lower than you might normally set it. I would also suggested you shoot 3-4 shots to verify your sight picure POA and POI then set the chrono to clear.

With the accuracy of your rifles and you doing the shooting I would think you would not have problem at all.

Yup, just did it today.............4 times. No problem today, but in the past i have clipped one of the support rods.

100 yard clock shoot.

The advantage of the Ohler is there isn't much chance you would hit the actual instrument.

It wouldn't bother me except the Ohler 35 was about 600.00 back when I got it. I am sure they are not any cheaper now.
The Ohler has a generous window to shoot through but things happen.

When I was shooting 3D archery we had steel targets. The soft spot was anywhere from the size of a silver dollar to the size of the mouth of a 5 gallon bucket. no matter how good the shooters were anyone at any time can hit the steel.

Now that the Ohler is back in production I could get parts but still. It is a risk. It is kind of a William Tell thing shooting an apple off his son's head. Ron

Well one thing it will make you concentrate on being consistent in each step of the loading process!:confused2:

No the actual brains of the thing are safe but the eyes are at risk. Hitting a sky screen with a large conical is very possible with the length that the eyes are at. The tube that the eyes sit on is 4 foot long if I remember right. I thought about using black cardboard and making sky screens. I might get the guts some day. We'll see. Ron

That is for sure.:happy0001: Ron
