Wow! Not good…
That was a costly shot for both you and the chronograph.
I wonder does being a Chronograph qualify for Hazardous pay?
I’ve never owned a Chronograph but have thrown the idea around getting one.
After seeing this I will probably think about it awhile longer.

While being a chronograph is a hazardous life I have never know a chronograph to be suicidal or take its own life with a gunshot.

35 Whelen.... Your pics reminded me of a time when I was testing various loads through my muzzle-loader using different powders. I was, (fortunately), concluding my tests and was very impressed with this particular load's accuracy. I went forward to check my target and on my way back to the line I yelled back to my boy "What does the Chrony say?" "I don't know" was his reply. "What do you mean you don't know? It's right there on the screen! Oh.... I guess it isn't!" Dang! The PATCH had struck the display with enough force to shatter the screen. It was wedged between the clear plastic cover and embedded in the glass display. Unbelievable. Cost me a third of a new Chrony to have it fixed. From that point forward I have a metal protector in front of the display. Hundreds of rounds before one stray patch found it's way into the display! I feel for you man... I really do.
