My Labradors were Always heads up counting shots. Very distainful look when I missed...Oldhunter1954
To answer your question;
The chronograph I now use is a Labradar. It sits beside the machine rest and records the shots beautifully. The other chronographs I used required setting up quite a few yards from the muzzle to eliminate the errors caused by patches flying through the screens. They also missed recording too many shots. Yes, the Labradar will occasionally not record a shot but it is far superior to the other chronographs I have used.
