Chronograph stand

+1 to the camera tripod. They allow you to angle the sennsors away fro the sun if your getting errors too.

I have a friend stand 10 feet in front of my bench and hold my chrono to the side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is Lefty?

Dunno if it has been mentioned previously, but to avoid shooting the chrony and speed up setup time get a laser cartridge, chamber with the rifle set up and on target, and position the chrony with a paper "target" binder-clipped to the rods. The laser dot on the paper target clipped to the rods makes setup a breeze.

Thanks for the tip on the laser pointer. . . Kevin

The way I have avoided shooting any of my chronographs is to remember they can detect a bullet a foot or more above the sensors.

I seem to like to shoot the wires off mine. I do like the wood stand for sure.

My magneto speed needs no stand.

now add a piece of 1/2" plate steel to the front to ward off the inevitable.

Beat me to it!
I would mount it on a angle to deflect the errant boolit toward the ground, not back at me.

Shoot only on heavy overcast days and you don't need the wires.

I figured that out by hitting one of the wires on such a day.

with the front plate put a bit of downward tilt on it. Keeps the slugs from coming right straight back to you. Think how the cowboy shooter's targets hang.

That is nice rig and a good idea for a blizzard day. Plus a good use for scrap lumber. Plus plus far more stable !
For years I have used the old "yard sake find "camara tripod. But it sure does not take much wind to blow one over.
Our range (up north there) uses an extended platform that extends away from one bench towards the 100 m line. This direction (north) is 75% of the time perpendicular to prevailing wind (west). So once the steady breeze at the range surpasses 5 mph you better have some means of "lashing the tripod down".
I have placed a sandbag on top of the Crony which helps. But one day seated behind the rifle a big gust came along and one sandbag was not enough.
I have not shot my Crono in 15 years. But I do not let anyone else shoot through it ( I will do that) nor do I do all my testing through it. I first find my accurate load then run the FPS which is secondary to me.
But your "saw horse" type should hold up well. I would think you could use it for numerous other practicle needs.
