well it looks pretty good, to me, it looks like it has all the features of the big ones.

i am thinking about getting it also.

I think chronos are way too over-priced.
All it does is tell you the velocity.
Look we just want to see how fast our balls our going companies! We shouldn't pay 100 dollars just to find out

There are cheaper ones out there but the accuracy is lacking. I had 2 chronographs, the 'Big Red'(300.00) and some other model(can't remember the brand) that cost like 50.00. The FPS difference was, on average +/- 15fps. I used my father-inlaws' chronograph that he uses for testing rifle and pistol loads and Big Red was within +/- 1fps. Other than goggles, a chrono is a good investment.

I've got the gloveRadar that they adapted to paintball...works pretty good, too ;)

I think it's around $90 now.

get one of these (http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=KHnmCsvkKWXmiIm8TTMmosFCYEpiilDmRuo=?Pro ductID=eWysFAY7CzYAAAD3kXilA_2y) instead. this is what a vast majority of fields and refs use for hand held chronys. it is what the NPPL refs use, the NXL ones use the radar gun.

That's what it is...

If you peel off the sticker it says "gloveRADAR" under it ;)

when I said "one of those" I meant the one in his post, I've seen the hand radar thingers.
