Default 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.

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.

Why exactly do they need a light?

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.
