Which Chrono?

[Hornseeker]

I know...speed isn't important!   :D  
BUT...as I'm designing bows and using different materials on them, I like to monitor the speed differences. For, if one bow shoots as smooth and quiet as the next, but is 5 fps faster...I may as well use those materials..or That design!   :rolleyes:  

Anyhow...which chrono's have you used and liked? I am hearing lots of good about the ProChrono. Less good about the Shooting Chrony's F1, and mixed about the Radarchrons...

Thanks for any advice,

For what it's worth I've used a Chrony for going on 20 years w/o any issues...

Thanks.

If you need no bells and whistles, the basic Shooting Chrony will work fine and cost is as cheap as you are going to get.  You can upgrade them by sending them in the Shooting Chrony with a small check and get an upgrade, which is a great customer service feature.
I have a PACT that I consider a bit better but the price tag reflects it.
The basic chrony is also easy and fast to set up, with no wires and remote printers, etc.  You just have to write down your velocity.

I have also had a shooting chrony for at least 12 years and it has been reliable worked well.

I have had a Chrony for years and it still works great....

Keepem coming. I've used a chrony a fair bit and seem to have a heck of a time getting the light right to get good readings...????

Those who poo-poo speed are only kidding themselves.  If all other factors were equal, I would venture to say more than 95% would chose the bow that shoots the fastest arrows.  No, I do not shoot compounds, but I do admire a smooth, accurate, forgiving, AND fast bow.

For a hundred bucks or so, I too have the Chrony and have no complaints.

I also had a high percentages of "false readings" with my chrony, one of the reasons I upgraded.  But, it may be a matter of getting the right screen over the top of it.  The false readings are obvious and therefore only a nuisance most of the time.

Competitive Edge Dynamics (CED) with the four foot archery bar and IR light kit....most accurate and consistent chrony out there for the the $$$.

Yes, the light is critical with a Chrony.  It works best outside under direct sunlight. If it's cloudy it doesn't work well at all, and indoors is iffy.

I don't consider this a big disadvantage, it's simply something a guy has to work with...

I just bought a Pro Chrony.  $100 at Cabelas.. Seems ok so far..
