How to protect your chronograph.
Posted: Thu Feb 11, 2010 3:50 pm
I have a Prochrono on order.
Having read stories about destroying chronys with misplaced shots, I began thinking about protecting the chrony.
Place the chrony on a table and place a 45* slab of steel about 3" in front of it and about 1/2" higher than the electronics.
This will deflect shots downward into the soil.
As long as the shot travels above the shield, the most it could damage is the sun shade.
