Casualty at range, $100 loss.

It used to be that if you shot your Chrony you could send it back to them and they would sell you another one at a reduced price. We have shot two of them in the past but I didn't know that at the time so I just bought new ones.
I have a brand new one now I have never used. But its best if you set up a target to aim at and adjust the chrony so its absolutely below the barrel.
When I bought the first one I chronoed every thing I could at the house. Pellet guns and even my Wrist Rocket slingshot. My wrist rocket would shoot a 230gr round ball a very consistent 215fps. My air rifles would only vary by a couple of foot per second. I had a lot of fun with it. But after a while the thrill wore off.
I finally just decided bullet speeds were what they were and accuracy was more important. And whatever speed my bullet was going there wasn't a deer in the woods that could out run it.

laser bore sight and a piece of cardboard, you don't need a fancy one. One of the cheap universals makes fine chrono insurance and enbales you so set the chrono up much faster and be right on the money as far as centering/height

One word: Labradar--you'll never give anything else a second thought after 
I used the "tube" method taped in the notch for quite a while, but that didn't work out very well in the long run. I carry a bunch of Allen wrench for adjustment in my range bag--I eventually learned that laying one (the long ones for adjustable gas blocks are great) in the notch make an excellent aiming aid. All things being equal--the higher you can position the unit the better--especially if your target is uphill from your shooting position.
