Luckily, the only damage is I have one shade support in the next county...
Could have been much worse!

Welcome to the club!!
Try replacing the metal supports with wood dowels. Cheap to replace and won't cause any damage to the box if hit.

If vegans love animal so much, why do they eat all their food?
Yep - wooden ones rule, and make spares - helps to paint the "zone" on the sticks as well
I got mine back running again with parts from DTKnowles for a very reasonable price. Good Man!

Someone here suggested straws to replace the aluminum shade holders. My local DD has 12 inch straws that are orange.
Someone here also suggested a steel plate on a plant hanger in front of the Chrony. I am doing this now, but would have rather bought powder or primers with the $$ I needed to replace my Chrony.
Welcome to the club.

The chrony grave yard is almost as big as Arlington National by now. So far, mine has only been wounded a couple of times. I use the wooden Shish Kabobs (sp?) skewers as crutches for the shades.

LOL, two time member here ! (I'm a little slow). Two Chrony's, two kills. Three hits, though - (38 super not recomended for clean kills unless vitals are hit)
Last one hit with a max load of WC820 under a 580g boolet from 500 S&W. No worries about tracking , DOA, gibblets all ovwr the place !

If you're gonna be stupid, don't pull up short. Saddle up and ride it all the way in.

I was hoping this wasn't a post from the person I just sent a chrony out too...
I recommend weedeater line, just cut a length and make a loop of the brightly colored line.
Boolits= as God laid it into the soil,,grand old Galena,the Silver Stream graciously hand poured into molds for our consumption.
Bullets= Machine made utilizing Full Length Gas Checks as to provide projectiles for the masses.

There are two types of chrony owners, those who have shot their chrony and those who WILL shoot their chrony.
No, there is a third kind. Those who have set up their Chrony's and watched their nephew with a brand new scoped Mini14 place a bullet right through the digital screen because said nephew did not tell you he had not sighted in his scope yet. But my fault, because I did not ask.
Welcome to the club Sweetpea, but technically you are not yet a Chrony Killer. You are a Shade Trimmer 1st Class.

Yeah, well... I was using my blackhawk in 41 mag with 250gr boolits...Welcome to the club Sweetpea, but technically you are not yet a Chrony Killer. You are a Shade Trimmer 1st Class.
A direct hit surely would have been a DRT!

Got mine too.
First time with 2 gas checks.
Next time with 230gr RN .
Just the shade support though.
Guess I'm a shade trimmer too.
It was just a little embarrassing though when my son borrowed it.
