Today I had the oppertunity to stop by the Competition Electronics factory, makers of the ProChrono Digital Chronograph. so I thought I'd pass along some interesting info many of you may not be aware of.
While talking with Jim (the owner) the subject came up about shooting a big ole' hole through chronographs!
I'm sure most of you have heard the only difference between chronograph owners is those that have shot theirs, and those who haven't shot it yet! LOL
So I asked him, Ok, if I get one of your new chrono's, just what is it going to cost me if and when I shoot a hole in it? LOL!
He said, "if anyone returns a damaged chronograph to them, they will fix or replace it and maximum cost will not exceed 50% of new price." any type of damage, no questions asked!
...So this means if you happen to shoot a hole through it,
Forget it on the roof of your truck while leaving the range and drive over it ( Ha! Ha!) Or even have it damaged in a flood the same deal applies. Max cost to fix or replace will not exceed 50% of new.
At current prices, that means the worst case would only be $50-$60 for a rebuild or new replacement.
Pretty great deal especially when you consiter Compitetion Electonics' ProChrono is one of the less expensive models on the market to begin with.
While there I got to see where each unit is still being assembled & tested by hand in Rockford Ill., and not somewhere overseas. Maybe this is why they can still offer this type of personal customer service.
Since this information may not widely know, I thought I'd pass this on the readers of this site. (with Jims permission)
It was really nice to see this kind of Made in America product & customer service still being offered.
I left with a new ProChrono Digital in hand.
For anyone interested, here is their contact info;
