The sensors sit below and are protected, and won't be harmed by the muzzle blast. However, the blast can interfere with readings.

I had the original Competition Electronics with remote sensor unit connected to the readout and controls by plug in cords. No danger of shooting the controls, but when shooting .22 centerfire rifles, I had to shoot very close to the sensors to get readings, and hit the unit damaging the sensor on one occasion. Oops! Their customer service had me a new sensor in short order.

The new Pro Tach digital is an all in one unit, but the good news is that it's a much improved model, and shooting close to the unit isn't necessary . Even with high speed rifle. With pistol, one can shoot "way up there".
