I want a Chrono; what to get? HELP
 

I would like to get a chrono so I can look at different setups for kinetic energy and to see how fast my setups are. How much $$$ and what do I need?

I would guess that about $400 and your Hoyt you should be able to trade up. Then you dont have to worry bout all that stuff.:D

I bought the one out of Cabelas and added the light kit.

I've been using a chrono pro (or is it pro-chrono?) for SEVERAL years now and it just keeps on ticking.
I paid ~$120 for it way back when.

I've read that the ones that attach to the bow aren't as accurate (varried results) as the ones that mount on a stand.

I have the same chrono as Aussie.

It works well.

I own the F-1 as well, I realy like it, it works great for all my archery and gun/reloading needs.

Why exactly do they need a light?

RE: I want a Chrono; what to get? HELP
 

Without a light they won't work indoors or when it get's dark/shady outside.
Funny thing is mine seems to add 1-2 fps or so when it's really bright outside;). The closer it gets to dark the more i notice my arrow speeds taper off.

For those who have purchased the F1, is there a stand designed for this sold separately? if not, what did you devise for it?

I really like the price tag on that F1. :)

I have a Beta Master Shooting Chrony and really like it. The "guts" are on a 20' cord so if you happen to shoot your chrono you don't ruin the computer part of it ... just the frame and sensors.

I put mine on a tall camera tripod and it works well. I can use it for gun / reloading or bow with no problems.

I have a F1 also and as far as I know it works great! I use it for my arrows and I hand load. My hand loads come out similar to published data, give or take a few fps.
They are not that expensive.

I got the ProChrono "digital" from Cabelas for $99 last year, and it works great for bow and gun. It costs the same as the "pal" version, but with more features like better string memories. Also, it screws into a camera tripod...which is a great, great feature when trying to shoot a bow through it.
