... it survived
Decided to get the ProChrono Bluetooth adapter - based on recommendations in this thread:

Have to admit, it's pretty sweet. A couple things didn't work quite like I expected, but maybe I need to read the instructions?
Anyway, I really can't figure out what happened that I hit it. I was recording some 10mm rounds, through the middle and all on target with a decent pattern at 25 yds, and somehow hit the back left steel post for the screen. Folded it in half about as neat as you please. Literally, bent in half, one leg a little longer than the other, and the 2 legs tight together halfway down then fanned out slightly - like knock kneed. Sucked it out of the screen and unit without a dent or scratch. And sent it more than a few yds down range. By the time I thought to take a picture, I had already straightened it out. Not that it's really straight...
My Mechanical Engineering buddy who was there had a good laugh and made some comments about the physics of velocity and overwhelming force, etc, etc.
So, thanks to the folks who talked me into the bluetooth adapter!
