After 40 years.....a chronograph!

And yet another tip.

If your sky shades are held with metal rods, put those rods in a safe place and get a package of bamboo cooking skewers. The first time you clip one (and it won't take long) you'll be a happy man.

Another excellent tip! Thanks Rocky.

Can't wait to explain to my wife why her bamboo sticks were sacrificed...........

You can also cut up a gallon milk jug to make difussers and punch holes to go over the sticks. Don't set up too close or you'll burn little 'hot powder' holes in the plastic display cover. Good luck and fun shooting.

I have been using bright green weedeater line.. just take about a 18-20" length and make a loop instead of two sticks. The bright green really helps make sure you are IN the loop and if hit,, pops out without damaging the chrony like a hit to the metal rods will if they take a hit.

Ingenius!! Combine with excavman's suggestion and you have a never-ending supply of exceptionally cheap diffusers (wish folks would stop calling them sky screens) and supports. I'll have to try them.
