    Another vote for the skan for an extra £50. Have used one out to 45 yards with a protection guard in front, although I never did hit it.

    You could use an old mobile as target cam and connect it with a tablet or phone using the alfred app for android. Not sure if they do it for apple phones.

    The get thick poly carbonate to protect the chrono display if using something like the chrony type chrono's.

    Mark, Combro service is outstanding (speak from 3 times personal knowledge . The latest was about 6 months ago...)

    I bought a chrony, it's very good but just gives you velocity- you have to do the rest. Okay downrange but the fiddle of setting up so you get a shot in the right place will send you to an asylum

    So as long as it's working I always use the combro!

    Hope all is well long time no see.

    Hi old chum! Hope you're doing well down in the countryside. By Chrony do you mean the LMBR2? You're quite right about the Combros they are great, but another thing I don't like about them is having to elastic band the thing onto the end of the barrel. It works well with my HW100 but is a pita for the HW97 ...

    All well down here in the Duchy thanks!

    Combro's and break barrels are problematic. That's when I shot mine (twice ) The problem occurs when you close the barrel... Don't ask me how I know

    Cant see why not, Myself I would make a plate to cover in case of any misses, I've got the old version which is like a shoe box, Can run from battery , Sure the new ones have shot memory or just use a mobile phone, I used to use a mobile phone when shooting my mk2 pheonix quickly at distance,

    Combro still making chronographs? Or struggling with supply chain issues?
