Title: Did Painter really shoot a chrono ?

I was joking. ;)

There's a running joke around here about me and shooting chronographs, although it's undeserved.

:)  I'm aware of the joke, but not sure if you ever really did shoot one, which is why I stated it will take more than one hit to put the truck out of commission.

So, did you ever shoot a Chrono?  Or did you state that it is undeserved because you only shot one, not more than one? ("...me and shooting chronographS")

No...I never did shoot even one.

At one point there was a rash of chrono shootings. I think it was Wobbly that was one of the guilty parties.

I posted that when I bought a chrono I was going to buy two, and shoot one in the box to get it over with.

I finally did buy one...and it sits in the box with me afraid to use it. :P

I was shocked, as well.  A quick Google search of
"site:https://czfirearms.us/ painter shoot chrono" returns 275 results.  I'm not saying he's shot 275 of them, probably.  But definitely a few. 

There's this vague admission:

The next chrono to die is bought and paid for. No more loaners for me.

The replacement will go to the winner of a water balloon trebuchet duel between Mr.W and IDescribe. :P


And let's not forget:


I guess I'm doomed to shoot the chrono I just bought.  Not like it hasn't happened before.

When I do...

I'll send you the replacement.

Two just weren't in the budget ;)

Nice to know Wobbly put one down too...  O0

I"m guessing you stumbled on one of those places where Painter blamed Wobbly for one of the chronos Painter shot.  Don't believe him.

I'm pretty sure there are photos of the chrono Wobbly actually shot, while there are no photos of any chrono that I've allegedly shot.

Seeing is believing.

Too late, buddy. We have a professor that says you shot her chrono 40 years ago at a location she can't remember, at a party she doesn't remember, and in a year she can't exactly remember. There's no police report, and she only remembered this incident after snorting Unique with her psychiatrist, but never mind....

You're going down !  O0

Well, now my wife is giving me a funny look for busting out laughing while she's trying to watch TV.

And shooting something out if front of you when you're shooting a scoped rifle isn't that difficult.  I destroyed my cellphone one day.  Clipped it to my shooter's bag so I could hear it if my wife called to ask where I was.  Put three targets up at 25 yds. and loaded up the AR15.  Shot the right target.  Shot the center target.  First shot on the left target my youngest son yells out, "Man!!!  That was so cool!!!"  I'm looking through the scope at the target asking what he's talking about as nothing special is on the target.  He just repeats "Man that's cool!!", at a shout and I turn around to see him getting his cellphone out of his pocket.  I, again and starting to get pissed (I hate having to repeat myself and after a couple times I'm nearly on the warpath) and he says, "I've gotta take a picture of that!"  I ask what and he points at what's left of my cellphone hanging off the shooter's bag.

Didn't put a mark on the shooter's bag but there were pieces of cellphone spread out for about 10 to 12 yds. from the table/bench towards the target line.  Nothing worth trying to save/get repaired except the battery.

I no longer set my shooter's bag on the bench when I go shooting.

It's not that hard.

I, too, bought a chrono.  I took it out, set it up in the living room floor and then tore it down and put it back in the box.  It's in the garage.  some day I might take it shooting.

Painter.  Just tell everyone you gave it a warning and it continued to not follow orders so you put it out of your misery.

I?m so glad this got pulled out of the other thread. Haha I?d heard this rumor for so long on this forum that I thought there was some legendary story!

Like most myths, it's 100% true.   ;D

Speaking of myths.... is that your dog IDescribe? It took my 2 years before I looked closer at your picture and saw what was really going on. I was busting up!

Painter shoots chronos and Ideacribe shoots fantastic pics!

There is. And if we keep repeating it enough, we can get a Senate Committee to ask for an FBI investigation.

If I were you, I'd get my pink stocking cap on and start driving to New Hampshire to protest.  O0

Hahaha this is how you 3 have so many posts and why the reloading sub forum has a life of its own.

Well, I can't seem to get either one to work right.  Either we can't insert gifs or I don't know how.

My Dad shot my uncle's truck, took him about a year to tell me the story. Him and my uncle have gotten lazy sitting in the truck waiting for deer instead of climbing stands. It's fun giving them grief about it.  ;D

Is that Sootch45 shooting his hood? My shooting partner nailed his chrono with a .45-70 lead 405 gr. The leaves in the tree above him started to wilt from the colorful lanquage coming out of him. :o
