buckshotaz Report post Posted April 22 I have (had) a Caldwell chronograph, and I was out shooting today. I was in the process of squeezing the trigger when a gust of wind blew the chronograph, turning it just right so when the round went off, I center punched the rod that holds the sunshade. I tried to order a new one, but they are not available at this time. I was wondering if anyone happened to have a broken Caldwell sitting around that I could buy for parts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted April 23 just a public service announcement.... those bamboo fondue skewers make great replacements for the metal rods. easier to replace when shot too. experience is a great teacher... lol 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yotebuster Report post Posted April 23 I’ve got a beta chrony sitting around. They’re real close to useless to me after using a labradar and a Garmin. Seemed like they were finicky as heck to have the lighting just right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatbastard Report post Posted April 24 Honestly, I don't know any serious shooter, handloader ,or reloader that hasn't executed a chrono. They do a dangerous job as we all know. At least it wasn't a buddy with an apple on his head. Congratulations are in order! You have completed one of the required missions to join an elite group of enthusiasts.
