I forgot to point out, I used a low powered pellet gun on the potting soil. Don't try anything any bigger. I just got the thought that I didn't want some one thinking it was safe to use potting soil as a backup. I had 2 bags, one behind the other and only for a low powered pellet gun!!
The led lights are from Chrony. As I mentioned in the article, I'm not sure if automotive light strips will work. The strings you can buy at automotive stores are longer and I would think that might increase the Chrony's field of view. Anyway, this is kind of a work in progress. My unit works...
Part II Screen Backside by Bulletstarter posted Apr 15, 2017 at 11:05 AM This is the backside of the unit. There are some velcro strips on there because I tried using attached cardboard to shield the screens but it didn't work. That's when I decided to turn it upside down. You will notice...
Had my annual root canal (aka income tax appointment) yesterday afternoon and got my taxes done. This morning I finished taking pictures and now am ready to start the narrative. I've written all kinds of computer programs but have not tried to put a presentation on this site. So bear with...

I have been shooting and reloading since the 60's. I started with and still have an Oehler 33 with unshot screens that still works. However I bought an F1 MASTER Chrony for convenience. I was disappointed in the unreliability of it and bought the lighted shades. They worked fine on cloudy days...
wildcats
In 1967 I inherited a 30 carbine and about 1200 rounds of military brass. I decided to build a 22-30, a 30 carbine necked down to 22 caliber. I didn't have a chronograph then but I thought I had a pretty hot caliber. I put a 4X Weaver scope on it and thought I had a great rig. The...
info about 20 practical
I knew very little about the 20 practical 18 months ago. I used a 204 Ruger and .223 Nato for years as my main prairie dog guns. As the price of ingredients and brass continued to go up, I started to search for a cheaper alternative for the 204. Just for the heck of it I...
