    Pro chrono Digital ?
    I used to recommend them on all these threads but recently contacted the maker & was told they now cannot be exported/sold within the EU as they refuse to submit them for EU approval due to cost.

    If you can get hold of one (some bay sellers will send them) they are superb.

    TBH it wouldn't surprise me, I've seen them in a few places,
    but I've got email from competition electronics stating they are not allowed to be sold in Europe & refusing to either sell me an interface set or even give access to the download so I got an interface off the bay.

    Damn good chrono though.

    I'd like to hijack my own question in here and ask which has the best software in regards of data output. I dont want to have to import all my readings into chairgun if I dont have to.
    I'd like to be able to save all my data onto my phone at the club and transfer it into the laptop later with ease

    Again I can only comment on the pro-chrono, the internal memory can hold 9 strings of 99 shots each, You can then download them when you get home, or you can have a laptop connected while you shoot & download in real time.
    I have no idea what memory, if any, others have.

    I had a wee look at the skan, unfortunately it only goes to 40 odd grain.. I will be using mine for load develop on .44 and .357 as well as my airguns. Do you know if the prochrono works for large caliber firearms? I had one that was shot and I failed to repair it.. I don't it to Mick at the bash last year, I've no idea if he got it working or not.

    Doesn't work outdoors in all daylight. That's the reason we dropped them as the regional chrono for CSFTA.

    Another vote for the Skan, been using one for years and years. Solid, reliable, self testing and not susceptible to differing light conditions.

    Really, I've only ever had one issue in the 8 years I've had mine & that was with low afternoon sun from the side.

    I’m happy with the Caldwell I have. An ‘app’ gives good data download interface - but doesn’t work with a 30yd data lead!. Have bought the Caldwell lights for it and it works in all conditions.

    Yes really.

    We bought them because the BFTA used them. We ran them through our winter league and on the majority of shoots with anything with an overcast sky they refused to register a shot. Changed batteries, put them in better light, the lot. We start at 10am so it was hardly dark.

    In the end we went with the Polish R2 Chrono which doesn't rely on daylight and has it's own IR and we've not had an issue since. The BFTA also stopped using Pro-Chronos.
