I have pretty much settled on the Garmin chronograph. But I was surfing the web and came upon an attachment to connect the chronograph to a rifle. Why would someone want to do this? I am sure there is a reason.
I know that for ELR, some shooters want to know the velocity of every shot, so they mount the unit to the picattiny rail for convenience.
I personally don't see the value in it. I won't shoot any better knowing the last shot velocity.
A mounting method having some “give” would be best. Some rubber or soft plastic would reduce the peak G considerably.
On the line, shot to shot correction is[...]
Knowing the velocity of the last shot has nothing to do with wind. You can't see a up / downdraft. The wind factor at range affects the bullet much more than a few fps of up or down velocity difference.Critically, knowing whether a miss is due to velocity or due to wind lift/downdraft or...
Why would you ignore the splash ? Unless you and the spotter didn't see it ?Missing twice because you ignore the splash..
...how guys winning ELR matches are winning them.
Common sense is a variable quantity, and it's never clear who has it and where it may or may not be.It doesn’t take much more than common sense to realize that I did NOT imply every ELR match winner always uses a chronograph… but… I can state and demonstrate that highly successful ELR shooters do and ARE using chronographs on the line.
I feel the same. Rifle recoil cannot be good on electronic circuits can it?Not a good one.
