I pray all goes well with the back.
The Chrony looks to ba a good one.

So I am at home ordering my friend a new chrony from Amazon. Note to self , my 100y zero is 2 inches low at 10ft. Feel like a douche, oh well not the first time. Will continue the review in 3-5 days. Sorry Sisco seems like a good unit I would go ahead and order one.

And I suppose if You send it back to the company, they`ll say something like "Warranty will not cover this types of abuse" or some other ridiculous sort of a statement. :mad: :banghead: :busted: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I picked Me up a chrony, several years ago and have not had the chance to take it out and see what My .308 loads is doing.
I seen a feller out at the range setting up His Chrony, He was using a BB gun to get it set right so He would`nt shoot the chrony before hitting the targut. :thumbs:

I had picked Me up a nice tripod for the chrony from a yard/rubbish sale.
The tripod had no base mount, so, I had a oak light fixture thingey that was about the right thickness. I sawed Me off a chunk of that oak, then sized and shaped it to fit into the tripod, drilled a hole in the center of it and found a real nice screw in Mine collection of things such as screws is found in and it makes fur a mighty nice base to fit the chrony to the tripod.
I thinking the T-Pod was two bucks. :busted: :cheers: :clap: :dance: :rotfl: :cowboy:

Oh man! I feel for you! In this case, with all due respect, I am going to learn from your mistake. Think I might do m
Marty's trick with the BB gun.

Your not alone in the "shot my Chrony" club. I shot my old Chrony with cardboard screens first time I used it. Since the holes didn't effect its function, I left them on to remind me not to shoot the Chrony.
