looking for inexpensive chrono

Post by Robinsons Rebel »

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive chronograph that works pretty good. Might use it 3 or 4 timeas a year, if that.

I use a Shooting Chrony Beta. It is a little hard on batteries but otherwise I think it was only $125 cannuckbux

I will say tho, it's the fastest way to learn how not fast things really are moving :lol:
The only thing more disappointing than a chrony is a fish scale.

"Inexpensive yet good " archery chonographs might not exist.

Arrows flexing with flip flopping fletching flying through the sky screens confuse many inexpensive chronographs.

Being serious for a moment. (Something I don't like to do), Midway USA sells Caldwell Chronos for around $90 bucks. You can look at all they have to offer. Good folks to deal with too!! :thumbup:

I use a Chrony F1 with no issues. BUT you have to use it correctly. I think I wrote up a document on how to use it for someone at one point. I can dig it up if you'd like.
