That'd be nice, but by the time I paid tax and freight I'd have the equivalent of 7 of the chronographs I destroyed. I've owned a couple of chronographs with remote sensors a d really lile them, but honestly they're a pain for me to set up. Units such as the CED are easy as I just leave them on the tripod and carry them in and out of my shop when I shoot. In fact I pretty much just leave it outside unless there's a chance of rain .

Well, I shoot OVER a shooting chrony. :D I could likely buy 10 or 12 of 'em for the price of an Oehler.

Now, I'd not go trying a William Tell shot with my first born if I were you. :D
 
I'm sending my work computer to you for "testing", and I don't really care about velocity. Just take care of it. Thanks!
 
Ah....wasn't the Bisley designed to be a target revolver???

Oh, well, let those who have never fired a stray round cast the first bullet, so to speak.
 
It's not even archery season yet!

Maybe it was gravely injured and he put it out of its misery. :)
 
Ive got one that looks like that. I actually got it to work , well except for the on/off switch. A little tap and I have to hook up the battery when I want to use it and all is well.
 
Well actually I had been aiming at the trunk of a smallish mesquite tree some 50-60 yds. beyond the chronograph. I'd pretty much chewed up the upper part so aiming leeeetle bit lower.:eek:

Thanks! It's actually a Uberti and it is quite beautiful and shoots better than I'd ever hoped possivle. I'll post some details later. Right now I'm spending every evening after work shooting it. 75 rounds just last night!

Don't feel too bad. I watched feller use the front of his pickup as a rest to shoot an Antelope and put one right through the hood.:uhoh:
 
LOL. Well it's too late. I left it on the tripod out by my shooting bench and the wind finally wrent it asunder, scattering the pieces about the cactus and mesquites.

Well, 35 Whelen, you're a better shot than I. :D
Mine keep skimming over the top. Got a few nice little skid marks on top. One of them with lead deposit.

At least you got pictures before the coyotes carried it away.
