Page 3 - Competition Electronics ProChrono Digital Chronograph Reviews

Simple to use. Having several shot strings that record up to 99 shots each is a big plus over the Shooting Chrony especially with some of the PCPs that can shot dozens of rounds per fill. The button layout is much more convenient than the Shooting Chrony.

An iPhone/iPad interface would be awesome.

I used the ProChrono inline with the Beta Shooting Chrony, almost identical results, differences where 5 fps or less. Best used on a tripod, with the screens installed, it is less stable than the Shooting Chrony for example when resting the ProChrono a flat surface, it's more top heavy than the SC.

Looks and performs as expected. Gives me much needed data on the performance of my pellet rifles and pistols.

none.

The white plastic shields are not needed when used in a shaded area.

I recently added one of these to my collection of tools and am finding it extremely useful tuning a springer that I am working on. No more guessing, I now have numbers representing a wealth of information!

Nothing that I can think of.

A direct driven LED light under each diffuser solves the expensive problem of shooting indoors.

Works very well and easy to set up

Nothing really

I does the job that is designed to do. It allows me to tune both my springers and my pcp guns. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

The screen cover label needs to be fastened to the front of the unit in a more secure fashion. Problem solved with double back tape.

You can not use it in florescent light or in the open under the shade of trees.

everything works as advertised no errors

nothing

use in well lit areas very light nd easy to use

Easy to set and simple to use.

After 2 years of wondering how my airguns were performing, now I know. If you adjust, tune or clean your gun, this is a tool is paramount.

I fired 200 shots over the chrono and had every one of them register fps. Using my buddy's shooting chrony I was getting many errors, that was so frustrating.

Make it heavier. Not wind friendly.

Way easier to use than a shooting chrony.

Easy to set-up and use. I don't know about the accuracy as I have nothing to compare it with. Seems to be okay though.

Nothing.

I bought the Home depot LED lights, but haven't used them yet. I've used the Chrono outside, in the shade of the house and no problems. Checked a Benjamin Trail NP and a Benjamin PCP Marauder pistol, both 22 Cal. No errors....

Works great, easy to use. Rarely misses even 17 cal pellets.

Throw in the cord and software to hook it up to a laptop, I like that idea but the price seems steep. More than 9 strings would be nice.

Love it. I should have bought one years ago. Can't wait to get out and run all the powderburners over it.

It worked great on all my air guns, from my simple BBs pistol (400fps) to my PCP (965fps). I accidentally shot it making a hole from the front to the back with a .25 PCP and it still worked after that. Love that is has a way to mount it to a tripod.

It will not work very well at dawn or at dusk. It really needs to be bright and sunny or it will not read properly. Also, if the sun is low, tilting it so the top faces the sun allows me to get great readings and shoot into the ground. When you're using it in a backyard, this is the best way to avoid hitting your neighboring homes.

I used to have the shooting chrony beta blue with the LED light attachment. The ProChrono blows those chronographs out of the water. I also got the light attachment for the ProChrono. Thought it was broken but said it doesn't give off visible light. I use it in my basement. I have put hundreds of pellets of different calibers through it now and I'm continuously amazed how well it works. Not one error!! I started to think it was lying to me so I used my finger to go over just one sensor. Sure enough, I got an error. Another great feature is you have the entire 12 inch area to shoot through compared to 6 with shooting chrony. I shot at different heights without any difference in the read out accuracy. The controls are super simple. No more holding down weird button combinations. Simple and straight forward.

Nothing except I wish I had this a long time ago.

I never right reviews but felt compelled because of how well this works. If you've been in the market for a chronograp,stop researching and buy this. You will be thrilled!

It's ease of set up, the computer interface is simple to use and a must.

offer a printer like crony does

computer interface is a must to get the most out of this set up

Simple and straightforward to use. Install the battery and sky shields, turn it on and get readings for up to 9 strings of 99 shots.

Nothing so far other than perhaps a storage case. I am using the box and slip case for storage at this time but not sure how they will hold up over time.

I'm new to pcp airgunning and while I have done a lot of reading, it is not the same as viewing the empirical evidence. Specifically, how different various pellets shoot.

Well made. Logical interface. Easy to carry. Rugged. Lots of add-on options. Good computer interfacing. Easy to setup. Reliable.

Make a factory shot-shield add-on.

Doesn't get better than this.

9 strings and up to 99 shots per string. Non-volatile memory even if you remove the battery. I passed 70 shot over it and got no errors. The display is easy to read even in a dimly lit basement environment and the buttons are very responsive and require a very light pressure.

Nothing

I'm using my pro-chrono in my basement which is lit by florescent lights so I purchased the light kit with it and it works great. This is my first chonograph and I couldn't be happier with it.

Very user friendly and not as light sensitive as some others out there. Its light weight and easily attaches to a camera tripod. There are a bunch of accessories for it out there such as a light kit and computer hook up etc.

A little bit more money than some other models but certainly not a deal breaker!

As with most chronographs out there, if you plan do use it indoors you will need a light source whether it be desk lamps or the light kit sold here. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the light kit if you're planning on doing a lot of indoor testing.
