Ok, it isn't mine but I WANT one... LOL
One of the members of the club called me this morning and ask if I could come and unlock the gate to the range, he has forgot his key and didn't want to drive home to get it. I know its sounds bad but he has 5 kids at home and there is no way he could shoot alone LOL. So I told the boys we had a road trip, didn't say where or they would have been wired too.
We got there and got him in and he ask if I had ever heard of the new 2 box chrono's, I said nope never have so I got invited to help him test his for the first time. I have wanted to get one of the fancy Lab Radar ones but not now. It was a simple set up and dang near fool proof system. I did have one of the pump up pellet rifles in the car so we used it in the test too. He brought his 204 and his 280 just to use in the test, so with the pellet rifle we tested it for how slow would it pick up and how fast as well. He pushes the 204 HARD, today he was running an average of 4130fps. His 280 was no slouch but at least it was in my usable range for speed and barrel heat. He only got 4 shots before we needed to let the 204 cool. But at 200yds you could cover all 4 with a nickel... The little pellet rifle made it all the way to 1280fps and it did read as low as 1190fps but nothing lower, But the chrony read everything else faster and its low end limit is listed as 1250fps so for rifles it may be the ticket. The part I like is the remote control and it stores everything until later. I came home and started hunting it down and its pretty affordable so with Fathers Day/BD is coming up so I planted the seed deep with the boys LOL.. They can use the old one, if I get the new one. Anyways here is the link, I have an email in to them on the total price including shipping so I can drop that bomb also LOL...
