Anyone using the ProChrono Digital Bluetooth Adaptor?

GaryL · Jul 20, 2016

Any thoughts?

Looked like it could be pretty handy.

No, but looks nifty. I'd be interested.

I have one and really like it! Install the app on a phone or tablet, enter your string name / pertinents, select string, and start shooting.

Individual shot results display on your screen, and strings can be individually or batch exported as text or .csv.

I captured a few screen shots: http://10mm-reloaded.com/digital_link/digital_link.html

I really like mine. I use a old tablet for a display and get big, easy to see readouts.

Love mine! The wind blew my setup over once and the jack got messed up, sent it back and they fixed for free, great product and great company.

I like mine, works great and I see it as a must have. Go ahead a download the app to see what it looks like and if it works on your device.

Yes, Works great without any problems. It's nice having all the data go to your smart device so you can save it, or do what you want during review.

Another vote for being a nice convenience.

I bought one a few months ago as I was tired of setting up my older Oehler chrono. Boy what a difference! Every shot is recorded (and calculated) by my phone. No wires. I highly recommend it to anybody who is interested in buying a chronograph.

Thanks for all the feedback. This has to be the best place on the web for quick responses and honest information.

Great idea! I did that, and it looks pretty slick.

And you can save all the shot strings and print it out later.

Big thumbs up from me.

That looks pretty cool.

Great more money to spend!

Duvel,

I really like that "stop Box" idea!

Question,

Why nails to absorb the impact energy vs something else ?? Perhaps sand, shredded rubber??

Kinda a 'what I hand on hand' type thing

The limited thought actually put into the design: Energy necessary to shift / spread / deflect the nails' mass should stop even the hottest round without drama. Kinda surprised it worked so well.

I did consider sand, but not having any didn't want to make a trip to HD. Also assumed that, at some point, it'd just leak out

Interesting idea to use nails to stop a bullet. I wonder if the bricks are even required? I would think a 1/4" steel plate would be plenty for a backstop, and an extra inch or so of nails, given how well they seem to work. They would certainly capture anything trying to bounce back.

In terms of stopping power, they turned out to be unnecessary.

With V2 (http://10mm-reloaded.com/stopbox/V2/stop_box2.html) I used 1 brick as ballast, hoping the light kit shield wouldn't flip the box if hit.

It worked

One of these days I'll determine it's effectiveness (or complete lack thereof) against 168gr moving 2,700fps

I got that chrono last fall and I really like it. I opted to go with the computer cable and use a lap top with it and that was a mistake. I finally got it working correctly after finally getting drivers installed on lap top. The big issue is having to use a lap top and cable at the range. The bluetooth would be much easier.

Here it is in action at the range with printout and pictures of the data provided.

I love it!!!

Well, I happen to know for a fact that plain old 30-06 ball will blow through a 1/4" steel plate. Not cleanly, but it will. Some years back I picked up a few rounds of black tip and wanted to compare it to ball. Set up a steel plate at an angle away from us and such that it could get knocked back over, just in case. I'm aware of a steel plate's ability to "return fire". :neener:

Anyway, the black tip makes clean holes, except for the bit where the steel strips off the jacket and bit of lead around the core. Ball just rips a hole through, suggesting it wouldn't take much more thickness to stop it. Also, that was mild steel, some alloys and worked pieces could react much differently.

For your experiment, I suspect it would take a few inches of nails to get it's attention. I wouldn't put anything of value behind the box until your sure of your design.

Anyone using the ProChrono Digital Bluetooth Adaptor?
