Chonograph Shield
« on: February 28, 2010, 12:25:57 PM »


1/4" of 304 Stainless steel at a 45* angle.

Pretty bullet proof for anything that I can throw at it.

When I was researching chronographs, I read several posts about destruction of the electronics by accidental hits.

I vowed to build a shield to protect my investment.

I am not sure, but having the shield allows me to aim lower and the shield my also block some muzzle blast.

Easy enough to build, why not?

If you hit that plate with a bullet that has enough force, could the plate fly out of the wooden fixture and into the chonograph?
I hope there are some hidden bolts holding that thing  ;D
If you're very intelligent its likely you're arrogant but if you're arrogant you don't necessarily need to be very intelligent.

Good observation, correct.

I posed the plate for the photo.

The steel plates will be bolted in front of the of the plywood.
