i want to buy one, which should i get Sir, FWIW I've used the Pact Professional XP for a few years, I bought it after my PC2 died. I used the PC2 for over fifteen years. The infrared feature of the XP enhances the users ability to use the chronograph in low light conditions. I lke the ability to readily replace parts of the sky screen assembly. Try as you will to not, eventually you'll shoot it, everyone does. The digital display and print feature are good, and the common calculations such as ES, SD, and AV are available at the touch of a button and can be displayed on demand. JMHO, 7zero1. |

That PACT is pretty sweet. I don't remember why I didn't get that one. I've got a CED M2 which is awesome, but not as much as the PACT. I think I got the CED due to the price. From my research last year the CED and the PACT are the best choices. The only down side of the CED is you have to keep track of what you were shooting for each string. I think you can actually enter it on the PACT. |
wonder whats up with that

Pro Chrono Digital. I bought cheap the first time and had fits. Sent it back got this and couldn't be happier. This, only I bought mine the first time. Battery life is really good. You can get the optional remote and it now has a USB capability for PC data entry. |

I just purchased a CED M2 from Grafs for ~$190.
It works well and is easy enough to set up. My only complaint is the "assembled in China" statement. I get a little tired of this. So far though it does work nice. I believe it has similar features to the PACT. I read the reviews on Midways site which is why I went with the CED. FH |

I have a Shooting Chrony Beta Master (blue) chrono with a remote readout. I found This Place that's selling them currently for $96. I've been very happy with it. Problem is that with a chrono the question isn't if you are going to hit one of the shade support legs, its when you are. And when you hit the sky screen steel legs, its likely that you'll crack the plastic housing that they are inserted into, ruining your chrono. A simple, cheap fix is likely in your kitchen right now that you can employ to avoid this problem. You just use some soda straws instead of the steel rods. I've shot them on purpose and they simply shear with no shock transferred to the housing so it remains undamaged. A helpful hint to aide you with aiming correctly. I added a band of black tape to each straw at 4" and 6" to give me a visual reference of where my bullet should pass. Most sights only require that you aim mid way between the top tapes and the bullet's path will be right in the chrono's sweet spot. Also, I copied the relevant instructions on a piece of paper and taped int onto the cover with clear packing tape over the entire surface. That way I have my instructions with me at the range if I forget how to do a task.  |

I'm using 1/8" wood dowels. Cheap and sturdy |
