    Truthful Answer Please.

    How many of you have shot your crono?
    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

    Accidents can happen, but everyone should be more careful with a loaded gun.

    Was shooting mine from a distance and having to aim fairly close to the sensors due to bad light.
    Was fine with one pellet, next type of pellet hit just above the screen. This was the first day I owned and and it was a present
    Turns out it was over 1 ft-lb less power with that pellet, so dropped off much quicker

    Mine was a while ago, back in the pistol days... I was trying to make sure my .45 loads were making major power factor, and i hit one of the wires sticking up from my Chrony.

    Nearly bent it in half, and dislodged the front sensor, but it all clicked back in place. Its still usable, although i'm always a little wary of the results I get from it now.

    Despite all the precautions and provision of alignment jigs our club SKAN has been shot four times in 14 years.

    One occasion was serious enough for it to be returned for repair; however these things are remarkably resilient and subsequent mishaps we've managed to sort out for ourselves.

    What is annoying though, is when a club member doesn't have the cojones to own up and say what has happened, and just stuffs it back into its box. I'd rather have bad news than bad surprises.

    I did exactly the same with a TX200HC. Luckily it only dented the front cover plate on my Skan.
