[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 841754, member: 4191"] I'm seeing improved operational instructions for the SuperChrono being provided by the manufacturer that weren't being made available earlier. So I'm wondering if that hasn't been a source of problems. The new instructions state things like place the unit a minimum of 10' off the muzzle, and 15 feet for magnums. They also state don't place the unit on the ground as the sound wave echo off the ground can mess with the detection system. For example, they now sell a small tripod to get the unit off the ground surface for guys shooting prone. And the instructions for ensuring the unit is set parallel to the path of the bullet are stressed more and more. A German shooting magazine tested the SuperChrono against two reference chronographs and reported very good correlations using a number of different bullets with 7 different calibers/cartridges. Steinert's web site was down due to being hacked, but it was coming back on line this morning and I was able to open up a couple of interesting links. Not all links were up and running yet, but these two were: [url=http://www.steinertsensingsystems.com/?page_id=723]How to Set up an Acoustic Shooting Chronograph[/url] [url=http://www.steinertsensingsystems.com/?p=1050]Leading German Firearms Magazine Visier: the SuperChrono Comes out on Top[/url] Perhaps the SuperChrono will turn out to be too fussy to get consistently accurate velocity data, but I have read several accounts now of very good correlation with quality reference chronographs, in addition to the article in the German magazine located at the link above. And the company is investing further in the technology. The web site now IDs some additional products in their design/marketing pipeline. I'm hopeful as I desire an easier means of recording down range velocity, something the MagnetoSpeed will never be useful for. [/QUOTE]
