    you can have the best gun, bike, car anything in fact but its the person using it that counts. just because you have a million pound gun dosnt mean you will hit every time its the person shooting it that counts. getting out there and shooting is what counts if you know what I mean. walk the walk not talk the talk

    No., Not shot my chronograph yet but i wouldn't say it's only thick people who do..., (although I'm sure some are ) I'd just say it's more a matter of time depending on how much u use one! I expect, at some point itle go wrong as the law of 'chaos' or 'sods' it'll probably happen when i least need it to!! Lol

    I believe there have been cases of a chrono being shot during the rifle checks carried out at HFT shoots ..... not by me I add.
    I guess its all down to the angle of dangle used.
    Cheers, Phil

    Mmmm...5 years on the Combro and she is still intact...I wish I hadn't responded now, as sure as hell, the curse is now upon me.

    Cool

    I use a block of wood with a small bean-bag style juggling ball on top, to rest my rifle's barrel on which is just above the front of the chronograph thus negating that problem. However, I dinged the front plate of my Chrony F1 with my HW75 pistol.

    It'll happen to you too!

    I've narrowly avoided shooting the alignment tool for my combro...there is a reason why its bright yellow.

    Unfortunately I did shoot my Caldwell on the first day, actually managed to clip it in a PBR 'lazy point and shoot into the backstop' blunder.
    Its tough plastic and was just grazed but an 18 grain pellet at 960fps sure does rattle around when you're standing in the shed with a WTF look on your face.
    And an hour or so later later a ricochet from my sub-12 came back up the path. Strike 2

    Happily still works with black plastic tape over it.

    Improvised a metal deflector plate for next time!
    Made one for my F1. Only go 1/2 inch down the inside or it won't close
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    Transferred my Combro from my moderated HW100 to my TX with no mod, got distracted and didn't realign - oops...

    Then there was the time the puppy ate my Bluechron, the Mark 1, the one that actually worked

    I took a chip out of an almost brand new UPVC window frame, peeping over the window sill to take a shot at a rat on a peanut feeder for ages I couldn't work out how I missed such an easy shot
