Great info
The few times I could get this thing to work, I got nice consistent results but that was such a rare occassion that I really got hacked off at this thing.
As I said, I bought it used and guaranteed working. Well, when it arrived it did not even have the right cable. (So much for guarantees)
I sent it back to the shooting Chrony folks with 30 bucks for a reconditioning. Got it back pretty quick and it worked somewhat. I was using it too close to the muzzle and so I think that all of the smoke was interferring with the readings. I moved it out to ten feet and promptly shot it (just a little nick in the corner) Didn't even knock it over. Used it for a little while with not much more consistency than I had before moving it.
I might have jarred something loose when I shot it, or I might have fouled up the optics with soot because of placing it so close to the muzzle.
So I can't say that I have given up on Chrony, just this Chrony. You are not alone in your admiration for the brand.
I'll wait for some additional thoughts but I am mighty grateful for your post.
