Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph 1006315-SSI

Product Information

While the Labradar is considered to be the cream of the crop in chronographs, I really didn’t have a good experience with it. For me in the desert of California where it is as cloudless and bright as the dark side of the sun 99 times out of 100 that I go out — I never really had much of a problem. Because it is a large bayonet that straps onto your barrel — this can shift your point of impact while it is attached. It can also mess with your rifle harmonics and open or close your groups oddly.

On sunny days place the chronograph in the shadow of a building or opaque wall. Ensure the sensors have a clear view of the sky, but the chronograph itself is in the shade. You could alternatively add sun shields to create a shadow. The goal is to eliminate direct sunlight on the chronograph, while still ensuring the sensors have a direct view of the sky. However, avoid placing the chronograph in the shade of a tree. The uneven sunlight that filters through the tree will cause more problems than it will solve. If you are unable to connect your Android device to the chronometer follow these instructions:
With the audio cable disconnected at both ends…
1. Connect the audio cable to the Android device
2. Connect the audio cable to the Chronometer DO NOT TRY TO PROTECT YOUR CHRONOGRAPH WITH ARMOR PLATING. BULLET RICOCHET FROM HITTING THIS PLATING COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. CHRONOGRAPH COMPONENTS ARE REPLACEABLE. Clean Lenses. Remove build-up of dust on the sensors. Use a Q-tip or canned air to clean the lenses, being especially careful not to scratch them.this is what people say about Labradar now..It misses too many shots... It wont connect Via Bluetooth half the time..It disconnects after 3 or 4 shots.. People near me conned ct to my Labradar and get my shot information.It quit working with my suppressor on.I had to buy an air gun trigger to get it to work with suppressor.It reads wrong with my muzzle brake.But the Bluetooth conectivity is by far the most common issue and it misses shots. The Caldwell chronograph is a simple light sensor design that does what you need it to do and nothing else. It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and really has nothing you can screw up.

AS WITH ANY ELECTRONIC DEVICE, WATER CAN DAMAGE CERTAIN COMPONENTS. TO PREVENT DAMAGE, DO NOT USE CHRONOGRAPH OUTSIDE WHEN IT IS RAINING WITHOUT BEING PROTECTED. SPECIFICATIONS If for some reason parcels are required to be redirected then an additional charge might be levied (where applicable). Also if goods are refused or not called for a charge might also be incurred. This list is not a full and exhaustive list and other reasons may apply.But a few years have passed and Ive been asking the same questions.The answers have changed.RE; Labradar..this is what they say now..Oh Im the maintenance director of at my local gun range with 2,250 members.. and Im there shooting almost every day or 5 of 7 days easily. So I get to see what they use and ask people question.. Infrared (IR) LEDs provide the highest level of performance with the Chronograph sensors, IR light is not visible to the human eye so one visible red LED is included in each light strip for easy visual confirmation that the light kit is on and working. I have heard many people ask: “Why should we even bother buying a chronograph anyway?” Chronographs are useful, especially for long-range shooters attempting to test their loads’ consistency. Position the unit 10 to 15 feet in front of the muzzle of a firearm or if using with a bow, at least one full arrow length in front

ALL CHRONOGRAPH UNITS HAVE INHERENT UNCERTAINTY WHEN RECORDING VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS. SEVERAL UNCONTROLLABLE VARIABLES CAN AFFECT EACH MEASUREMENT AND CONTRIBUTE TO THIS UNCERTAINTY, INCLUDING SUNLIGHT INTENSITY, SUNLIGHT ORIENTATION, CLOUD COVER, WIND, SHADOWS, AND GROUND REFLECTIVITY OF CEMENT, WATER, OR SNOW, ETC. WHEN COLLECTING DATA, BE SUSPICIOUS OF ANY DATA POINTS THAT HAVE GREATER THAN 4% DIFFERENCE FROM THAT AMMO'S AVERAGE STRING VELOCITY. There are a number of ways this can be done. The most common and “basic” way is with light. The magic of… LIGHT! The accuracy of the information is dead-on in all weather conditions. The unit is robust and can take a beating. For shotguns stand only 5 feet away. Shotgun blast may affect the projectile readings. Watch out for flying wads that might damage the chronograph. Just turn it on, wait a few seconds, and shoot. The number is clear to read or you run an Aux line to your phone to record the data. Caldwell Chrono with extra light things and tripodLong-range shooter enthusiasts, you might want to read this one out. The Beta Master is one of the best long-range shooting chronographs in the market right now. Stand one arrow length away for bows and crossbows. Shoot arrows over the projectile sensors evenly so the arrow passes the same height over both sensors. Blunt arrow tips work best. From my personal experience, I don’t charge the Beta Master often because of its long battery life.

Once the app is installed you will see the Caldwell Ballistic Precision app icon in your smartphone home screen. The Caldwell Precision Ballistic Chronograph provides accurate velocity measurements across a wide range of shooting conditions. Higher accuracy was achieved by using a high speed 48 MHz processor and by designing a circuit with an advanced data interface that allows each unit to be computer calibrated at the factory after assembly. The end result is the ability to provide much better accuracy than other chronographs on the market (+/- .25%). Having used it for the past 4 years, I've come to love this chrono after having owned several other models not featured here. To be honest, I've never tried a MagnetoSpeed. While I have looked at them, I never liked the fact that you have to attach something directly to the barrel. If you're like me and shoot a lot of rounds, particularly during load development, I would think you could start melting things to the barrel... but not on my rifles! Plus how does a magnetic sensor work for a pistol?The second major issue I had was actually triggering the unit. While it claims that it can work with rimfire and airguns, I found it nearly impossible to work with my NRL22 rifles without buying some of the extras that Labradar offers.
