Hello

I would like to know what would be the best chronograph for use in an indoor range.
I would like to hear from anyone that has used a chronograph in an indoor range and how well they work, and any problems that you have come across with use in an indoor range.

for an indoor range unless you have incandescent light a Chrono will not work, the 60 hertz flicker screws up the eyes. you have to look at one that has it's own light source with the infrared being the best. CED makes a nice one and i have used it in an indoor range. it still was a bit iffy and i think if it was mine i would have it installed in a box to prevent any fluorescent flicker from hampering it.

CED Millennium II has available Light Screens for indoor use I believe.

Infrared Screen Set (MC012)
With incredible accuracy, the Patented Infrared Screen Set eliminates the need for sunlight when using the CED M2 or the original CED Millennium Chronograph systems, and gives you the freedom to record velocities under any lighting condition, or if you choose, no light at all! Connects to the standard sensors that come with both systems, and uses its own AC power source or optional NiMH battery pack. The Infrared Screen Set includes Infrared Screens, side-arms, AC Adapter, and instructions.

I use a Chrony with their light kit. uses a pair of frosted light bulbs above the diffusers. Works just fine.

Used the Chrony for years with the aquarium style bulbs mounted above the diffusers. Always worked for me (except that one time when my buddy Al put a 9mm thru the front screen:mad:). Some people look down on the Shooting Chrony's because they're so cheap but for the average shooter they're a good bargain.

Thanks I checked out CED and I see that they list a place in Ontario that sells their product. I also spotted that it lists the usable temperature for their product is from 0 C to + 50 C. I guess any testing done would have to be done in the warmer weather. I will also take a look at the Chrony stuff as well, from what I have seen so far they are the cheaper of the two. I did see a review on the net that said that the CED was a bit more reliable but I don't know who did that review.
Thanks for the help.

Same Diff :)

LED and Flourescent tend to strobe at 60 cycles/second and this buggers things. Incandescent takes more than 1/60 of a second to shut off, so it is a continuous light source.
 
I just got a shooting crony F1 and the lighting kit for it is LED's... I did not have the lighting kit and I took it to my indoor range which has florescent lights and it didn't work right at all... turned off the florescent lights and and left the spot lights on no luck either. too dark then.
