If I understand them right, they measure bullet velocity when you fire through the loops. Anyone know how they work?

Good question. I have a Pact and I've never thought about how they work, just as long as they do. As far as I'm concerned, a projectile passes through two sky screens that are wired to a control box, which reads the interval between the two. This gives you your basic informations. The basic chrono will give you: individual shot velocity, standard deviation between multiple shots, average mean velocities, indications of low or high pressures and so-on. I only use mine to obtain velocity and pressure readings. On reflection, this doesn't really answer your question as to how they work - does it? I'm sure someone with more technical expertise will post.

Ah, light beams. Very nice. I haven't seen one in use so I didn't notice the light. Thanks for your help guys.
