I am thinking about a shoulder mount, what do you guys think? It was a nice shot, no?

Ah, yes.  Another AR-15 owner that failed to remember the distance between the bore and the scope.  :yike:

It was a good run though, 8 years and never an issue.

That's unethical to use anything less than a .338 Magnum on a chrony...  How was the expansion?

Did you get the casing sealed within 72 hrs. ?  per regulations?  I do not see any hunter orange, or a tag on that thing..  looks like you shot that on the wrong side of the mtns. to qualify, maybe you need to hike in farther to find a bigger chrony to shoot next time, not shoot from the road..  :yike: jeeeeeeezzzzzz


 :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Yes, I am a smart ass......  :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

Now that is something you HAVE to mount and put on the wall in your man cave.... sorry but those are the rules..   Nice shot too.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Every time I see one of those I can't help but wonder if those are designed to be shot so you have to replace them more often. Seems to me like they could separate the main electronics from the sensors with a couple feet of cable so you only have to replace a  cable/sensor unit instead of the whole chrono when that happens.  :dunno:

 :chuckle: I also think that one is not able to go into the record books. I think it's a hybrid  :chuckle: I think it was shot on the wrong side of the road and won't make the books :chuckle:

Another question is how far did you have to track it?????? :lol4: :whoo: :lol4:

Nice shot! :chuckle:

Sometimes the best way to inform the Chrony that it's give false results is to offer a demonstration of how fast the bullet is really going.

I have one that took a 260gr Accubond to the vitals at 300 yards. I just wanted to know how fast the bullet was actually moving at that range. It was a pretty bad time to pull the shot low. :bash:
