I was not sure where to post this, but I thought everyone could use a laugh. I let a friend of mine borrow my chrony. He is getting into the sport and just before he headed off to the range we had a good laugh about chronographs that have been wounded with reloads. I'm not sure of his exact words, but he just did not get how some one could accidently shoot a chronograph....then I get this picture

Tell him that he's a little high and to the right...

And that he just bought himself a chrony.

When my nephew borrowed my chrony, I made a point to tell him, "You hit it, you buy it"... Eventually, he bought his own chrony and I felt more comfortable. :)

I had a buddy weld a steal ramp that I place in front of the chrony just in case. So far I have not needed it, but pictures like this keep me using it!

not a kill shot, tell him to try again!

Meh, just push that left button and it will let him try again :bigsmyl2:

friend..."Oh Bum...I just shot your chrony, I'm sorry!"

Bum..."Awh that's OK friend...no problem. Besides...It ain't my chrony."

friend..."HUH?''

Bum..."No...it's yours, you just bought it!"

Nice group, how far and how many shots?.......!!!......:groner:

I had it happen with a .44 Magnum. I learned a $ lesson as well as a safety lesson. Never use your OWN Chronograph to test someone else's revolver, or his reloads. Reloads that split a case from front to back on the first and only shot, and a revolver that may hit low when the sights are high.

I wont shoot anybody's firearms any more. Too many events of, "What happened, it never did that before!"


Really made a Chrony look ugly!:target_smiley:

That's the best laugh I've had all week. Thanks!
