    Actually, I'm not too fussed, the rest is still fine and the stupid shades always popped apart.
    I'll make some new one piece ones from coreflute and the remains of these.

    The rare few that got to shoot over my optical chrony shot under the proviso that "if they hit it they owned it". And then I also checked their set up each time.
    With the MagnetoSpeed I will let a few mates use it but I set it up on the rifle.
    One of my earlier chronographs had a bullet scorch mark across the top of the sensor from a "competent" shooting mate. I didn't see it until I got home - I treated that as lesson 1, never ever lend chronographs (or chainsaws). At least with yours the error was upwards not downwards ha ha.

    Yeah, I told him to aim higher to account for the scope to bore height.
    Not that much though!

    Only if you aim high
    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    My club has a chrony and it got shot.The committee issued an ultimatum that whoever shot it needs to own up,fix it and nothing more would be said.
    About 6 people phoned up...!!!
