Skydiver Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Argh! I shot my chrono while trying out a new load. What I hated most was calling my shot right into it. I saw the front sight moving, the slide cycling, and everything. After realizing what happened, visual focus changed from the front site to down range just in time to see pieces of plastic flying. All of it as if in slow motion. Time to order new sensors. On the bright side, at least I can call my shots. Precision and accuracy... Well, looks like the precision part is starting to work, now need to work on the accuracy part again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 You should put an image of a chronograph under the "POW!" in your avatar. I've been there lol. It's even worse when the chrono you shoot isn't yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfactor Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) You should put an image of a chronograph under the "POW!" in your avatar. LOL... What distance did you have the chrono at? I took out a support rod for the front screen once at 25 yards, but at least that was a cheap fix. Since then, I haven't bothered with getting a 25 yd velocity reading Edited March 22, 2010 by Xfactor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Di Vita Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Eh, in my case I got cocky and crunched the hell out of a weak hand shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) I remember a post about someone shooting their chrono by accident, when the barrel broke off of their S&W revo. Found the thread! His day was worse, he had to fix his gun AND buy a new chrono. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=90421&hl=barrel&st=0 Edited March 21, 2010 by GrumpyOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Ouch! Hey, at least you made a few people (me) chuckle. My father killed his with a .22 match rifle. When he called the company the guy laughed and said "yeah, we hear that pretty frequently" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDCooper Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I second the bad feeling of shoot your friends chrono sky screens. I think I'm still apologizing for it in my head. As our friend said at the time, "it shouldn't have been downrange if it didn't want to get shot." HA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I used to shoot with a guy that had a bullet hole through his chrono and it still worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3quartertime Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Moved out of Hate forum with OP's consent. This is obviously in full discussion mode and as long as there is absolutely zero bashing towards fellow shooters/forum members it can stay open...

3quartertime Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Years ago 'the first time' my chrono got shot. I called BE to try and get some more sky screens. I told him that someone had shot my chrono and could he get me some replacements. He laughed and said something like, ' Yea, I keep hearing about 'someone' shooting guys chronos. That 'someone' really sucks!'. I tried to tell him that a guy really did shoot it and not me. As you can imagine that only made him laugh harder...

sargenv Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I had a friend kill one of my skyscreens when it caught an arrow... Pact skyscreens kind of snap off their bases when impacted by a target arrow.. might have been a little more spectacular if we were using a broadhead..

sirveyr Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 My brother smoked his while testing some 30-06 rounds. Stupid scope offset! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
