F1......That's what I use.
I bring pen and notepad...not big deal.

Make sure to get the Master version (the one with the wire attached to skyscreens and readout sits at shooting position) Forget the Mod # at moment.
Reason: anyone who shoots over a Chrony long and often enough will eventually "Nail" (2x4me) the skyscreen box. With the Master version the "brain" is undamaged and Chrony will sell replacement skyscreen box very reasonable.Also having the readout and controls at your reach is a benefit.
Once in awhile Chrony has refurbished models on sale if you check thier site.
If you haven't shot your chrony yet,you are not using it enough!!!!

Hmm... Of all places, never expected Lebarons to sell chronys. I think the prices are good too!?

Likely, a dumb question. How does one set one up at an indoor range? Set up tri-pod right in front of shooting bench or just place it on shooting bench? Haven't thought about this but my range has auto retrieval. Do I have to call cease fire to set up right in front of bench!? If so, that would not be very cool.

I tested my F1 indoors, setup according to the instructions and it worked like a charm. I think we had to setup the screens and lights for it.
That's sort of what I meant, that you would have to plan on setting up an artificial light source.
Good to know it's easily done though, I always set up outdoors 'cause I thought it would be too much of a hassle indoors.
