What are you guys using for a chronograph?
eeler1:
I did a search here, but the posts are from 10+ years ago, and I don't know how to sort search results by date.
Anyway, I typically shoot in my garage over the blue Beta Chrony that I've had for decades, using a light kit. Mostly for pcp tuning and adjustment or the see if velocities of the springers and pumpers and Co2 guns are up to snuff. But lately I get more 'error' readings than I do readable shots, and the beta chrony printer that I have only works when it's in the mood (not often). So, I'm thinking that there must be better options available today. I love the MagnetoSpeed, but it's not airgun friendly due to the mounting system. Which leaves me with chrony's similar to mine or that use radar. Ideally, I would like to NOT write down each shot to keep a record. And reliable without so many error readings. So, what's the best choice nowadays?

I use the Acetech AC5000.
It compact, and there's nothing to set up.
Just turn it on, set the information to what you are shooting and shoot away.
I have nothing to compare it to but I believe it's fairly accurate.
It's also inexpensive.

I had a nice shooting Chrony but I gave it to someone here on the GTA..

Folks seem to like the FX chrony that delivers the data to their phones.
I use this one, which os very affordabe but requires writing down the 35 shots it stores but then deletes if you turn it off.
Mr.P:
I ended up with one of those Caldwell upside down new edition chronographs. Works flawlessly, easy bluetooth connection. Stupid design: heavy, bulky, all of the assembly joints need to be taped because if you pick it up by anything other than the bottom, they just fall apart. I also don’t see what the value is of turning it upside down when the most common natural light source is coming from up above. So you have to have the lights on all the time for this thing to work i am pretty sure. It seems to have all of the flaws of the older kind plus a whole bunch of new ones, maybe this thing was designed by a committee…
