So yesterday, I went to the gun club with visions of grandeur. I was all excited to check the speed of my trimmed 460 cases being used in my shot loads in my 45 Colt cylinder. Set up the Shooting Chrony Alfa, loaded one round, aimed center mass and squeezed off the round. The Chrony was only 3' away (three feet). Can't miss that open area, right? You know those fliers we're always taking about? You guessed it. 1 (one) pellet of #9 shot got away. Punched a hole in the upper left quadrant of the sheetmetal, and penetrating the plastic case that encases the vitals. Killed it grave yard dead.
Not the first time though. My brother put it to sleep about 12 years ago with a .22 LR. I sent it back to the manufacturer for repair, and an upgrade. Been working great ever since. Well, until yesterday.
Seeing as Shooting Chrony is out of business, I've ordered a Competition Electronics ProChrono DLX. They seem to have good reviews, (depending on where you read). Anyone have any expierience with this particular brand? I know there are quite a few different brands out there. I suppose, in its price range it will do the job and be comparable with others. I look at brands like this. All will probably fail at some point in time. If the item weren't of decent quality, and function properly, the manufacturer wouldn't be in business.
