Anyone know of a range in the DFW area where you can use a chronograph to test reloads?
Seems like most ranges have stationary benches. The problem with stationary benches is that you have to be behind the chronograph by at least 10 feet. Most ranges definitely don't want you firing behind the bench 10 feet. |

Go to a range and watch somebody use one. You will see the light. |

Go to a range and watch somebody use one. You will see the light. I've used a chronograph plenty of times. But I'm used to going to a rural Missouri shooting range where I could put the chrono on the bench, stand back 10 feet, then fire. A friend suggested getting a camera tripod to put down range. But I was wondering if any ranges allowed this. |

He shot a hole through a sandbag sitting on his bench, and scared the snot out of the shooters around him. No more tripod shooting at that range. The chrony user gents this past weekend were having a hard time with the wind blowing their chronys around. No chronys were shot that I know of. |

Try a different chronograph. I got a Magnetospeed v3 and I like it alot mor than the Shooting Chrony. The are a little expensive but you can get the Magnetospeed Sport for about $160. They attach to the barrel and give you actual muzzle velocity. This sounds interesting. I'll have to google. |
