I have just bought the BC100 version of this device, and I can thoroughly recommend it.

Just under £85 delivered.

It performs flawlessly. I ran an 80 shot string on my ultimate sporter three nights ago. (Hence the reason I am opening the gun and giving it a good seeing to!) Pronounced power curve, and not very good consistency. It will be though!

I also ran 20 shots through my TX, using my pellet of choice, the 7.5 grain x 4.52mm Defiants I have been using for years.

5fps spread, average 823 fps, 11.28 ftlbs 8-)

here's a pic, the unit is so simple to use, it saves shot strings and shot analysis software is being released very soon to boost it's features. Li-ion battery, connects to PC/Laptop via micro USB for comms & charging. 12 hours continuous use off a charge.
It is very robust, being made from tempered T6061 aluminium, the angle bracket the unit mounts to your gun with is well machined ali also, with very secure lugs for laccy band attachment

There had been some articles knocking it for use in sunlight, but I tried it in bright sun, and just turned the gun so that the sunlight didn't impinge on the sensor area, I ran a shot string, then compared it to a shot string I ran in evening light. Same same. so no issues there if you are sensible.

Very happy with it. If it keeps doing what it did on its first outings I shal be well impressed (I don't see any reason why it shouldn't)

All chronos suffer a bit from light radiation so no big problem there,i borrowed a freinds f1 crony just to double check my combro and kept forgeting you have to place the shot over the sensors accurately and they dont work well in artificial light
