I joined the club!

[firefly1957]

Not much to say! The 45 stopped it with one shot :violin:

[Trey45]

That'll teach it!

[fishhawk]

And so young a full life cut short!

[PS Paul]

Drt.......

[Blacksmith]

So will you be constructing an armored chronograph holder?

[USAFrox]

Ouch! Just looking at that, I saw dollar signs pass before my eyes. Sorry...

[gbrown]

Welcome to the club. Been there, done that--got a new chronograph out of it! And some spare parts. LOL to the max.

[foesgth]

It's only a flesh wound!

[Able 5]

I find it more effective (and cheaper) to simply open it by hand....But hey a 45 works. :kidding:

[novalty]

I thought it was a jukebox. Chrony doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

"Bubba shot the Chrony last night."

[Dale in Louisiana]

Shoot for the eyes. If you only wound 'em, they can charge!

[41 mag fan]

I throw my boolits thru them...that way i don't have to join the elite club.....just wish it's give a faster reading that 15fps

[PS Paul]

This is why I look to the results of others rather than chrony myself. he he.....

HAHAHAHA...I never thought of that!!!

[bikerbeans]

I think the vitals are a little lower, but I am sure you had a good blood trail to follow.:bigsmyl2:

[Love Life]

A magnetospeed may be in your future!

You can sell the purchase to your better half: "Honey, but think of all the money the magnetospeed will SAVE us by not getting shot." Then go buy her a pair of shoes or something.

[M Hicks]

That should buff right out firefly.

[sheepdog01]

I have a copier at works that needs a bullet or two.

[ultramag]

Just when I was getting close to having the courage to shoot a scoped rifle through mine. :shock:

[ElDorado]

Welcome aboard!

Just try not to become a lifetime member.:-P

[waksupi]

Looks like you're shooting a bit low, and right. Is it grouping well?

[LabGuy]

I recommend a head mount; they look the best over the fire place.

[Pb2au]

The backstraps off those are pretty tasty with garlic and black pepper. Don't waste anything....

[GaryN]

Welcome to the club. I've had a Model 33 Oehler since 1983.When I buy screens I usually buy extra because every once in a while one steps in front of a boolit.

[John Allen]

Now it looks vintage.

[MrWolf]

That is one of my fears - I will be testing .223 loads Monday and have the same chrono and use a red dot. I feel your pain :groner:

[GL49]

Uh-oh. I hope this isn't a glimpse of what's in my future.

Mine is red, at least the blood won't show.

[firefly1957]

Even though the shot was in the upper right corner the impact destroyed everything in it even hit the battery and exited the very rear of it.
I am thinking of a bullet shield for the next one would let me try my new wire welder out.
This was an early Chrony if i had placed the cardboard guide this probably would not have happened.
Since a new one delivered to the door is cheaper than sending it back what mount would look best for the reloading room?
The magnetospeed is not in my future is can not be used on the 1911 pistol.

[Ramar]

RIP! My condolences Sir

[km101]

Take heart, you are not the first and you certainly wont be the last. After my Chrony made it last reading, I bought a CED M-2. The sky screens are separate from the electronics. So an Oops! doesn't hurt as bad.
Here's a link if you are interested.

And I think a full body mount showing it charging would be best.

[Tdart]

Needless violence. I think we need more gun control!

[daniel lawecki]

Your a little right of the bulleye in O of Chrony.

[**oneshot**]

Ouch!!!

[bosterr]

Drive by shooting?

[Bzcraig]

I'll bet she was beautiful before taking that slug in the grill!

[waksupi]

Your a little right of the bulleye in O of Chrony.

I agree. As much as I hate to say it, I think he may have flinched!

[btroj]

My wife wants to know if it was the first shot ever over it. She just can't let that go........

[smoked turkey]

If you didn't make such a BIG hole. If you had been shooting a .223 it might have survived.

[zardoz]

Ah yes. About three years ago, I narrowly escaped the enraged charge of a
ProChrono. Luckily, I had the massive firepower of a 380 Auto, that put
that dangerous ProChrono down. In fact, after my purely defensive shot,
the ProChrono did not take one more step. Testament to the effective
placement of a cast boolit hollowpoint round.

It still haunts me in nightmares.........

[blackthorn]

Just when I was getting close to having the courage to shoot a scoped rifle through mine. :shock:

That rifle will likely make a pretty big projectile----what charge will you use? What type of launch platform?

[nagantguy]

I've only managed to shoot a skyscreen on mine, buy the way if you have desperate need to curing some loads I'm also in mi, have a pact 2, provide a place to shot or come to mine and use till hearts content.

[Blacksmith]

How close did that beast get before you brought it down? Some of those Chronies charge pretty fast.:kidding:

[Bad Water Bill]

What I want to know is how you prepared and served that dangerous critter. :bigsmyl2:

Did you BBQ it,what sauce and type of fuel did you use and how long did it take till ready to serve?

Curious mindless want to know.[smilie=s:

[10x]

A chronograph defense thread, how charming.
What is the best caliber to shoot your Chrony® with ?

[Blacksmith]

And pictures of the intrepid hunter with one foot on the dead Chronie holding the firearm he used.

[pmer]

It's fun hearing the stories but you just don't know how scary it is being charged by a Chorno till it happens..I had to put a .44 through the center of mine.. it dropped about 10 feet away, not a drop of blood either.

[TXGunNut]

Reluctant to mention how adept my old Chrony is at dodging projectiles over the years. I think a major factor is that it seldom ventures from a dark cubbyhole in my loading bench. My tripod is much more adventurous, it lives in the trunk of my car ready for any adventure.

[firefly1957]

btroj Tell your wife that was the second shot of the day and i have had that Chrony for many years it is a early one might have been from the 1980's and i have sent 100's of bullets over it.

Bad Water Bill (hope i got that right this time) not cooking it may end up as compost as Chrony wants full price even if i ship it in then again maybe i should mount it!

10x 45 acp was plenty cast 220 gr semi wadcutter 5 grs. Red Dot shot number 1 was doing 817 f/s a bit slower than i thought shot #2 dropped it like a rock well except for a few small parts that may still be in orbit!

[btroj]

She asked because I knicked a rod holding the sun shades with the first shot ever over mine. The same chrono she bought me for Christmas a few days before. Worse of all, she was at the range that day.

Yah, top that. Been better than 10 years and I still haven't heard the last of it. I was impressed, I hit the rod with a Contender in 22 Hornet......

[Bad Water Bill]

You should have used a 218 Bee. Then you could have said "sweetheart you are so sweet that even the bees are attracted to anything you touch".:bigsmyl2:

Then duck real low.

[btroj]

Bill, I was too busy hearing "you shot it" over and over. Bullet fragments, cast bullet of course, did partially cut the cables for the battery but it still works.

M daughter did take put another wire with a 308 but other than a Dent to the body no damage was done.

[High Lord Gomer]

For his 7th or 8th grade science project my son wanted to shoot both the AR in .223 and the .300 Weatherby through the chrono at 15 feet and at 50 yards to see how much speed was lost by each at that distance. I let him shoot them both at 15 feet but told him he had to show me a 5 shot 2" group at 50 feet before I would let him try to shoot through my chrono at that distance. He didn't group well enough so I did the 50 yard shots and thankfully didn't kill a chrono.

[Rattlesnake Charlie]

I can't really be a member. I have a 10mm hole through part of the back when a horsefly bit my neck, but it still works. Guess I didn't hit "in the vitals". My buddy is deadly on the wire rods. I can't get him to try some sight in targets after he installs new scopes. I stock up on shades and rods about every two years. Some of the rods, I've never found. Doesn't seem to hurt the Chrony though. Amazing what they will take.

[firefly1957]

nagantguy Thank you for the offer i will be getting a new one i should have ordered already but held off.

[Jailer]

Looks like you have a new ornament for the reloading room. :D

Luckily when I hit mine it was with a 22lr and it survived.
