I can say DONT get  the chrony one .

Either alpha,beta or the f1 .

You would be better timing your pellet with your wrist watch .it would be more accurate and reliable .

crony f1 for me metal folds up 1/2 size American built cant go wrong quite a few plastic ones our there  cannot get a consisting reading but on crony within a few fps  if you are some where near cv6 you can borrow  to try out  before you buy all the best

From my experience this certainly didn't apply to my F1. I bought the F1 probably 11-12 years ago and replaced it with a Magnetospeed about 4 years ago and on testing them both at the same time - i.e. Magnetospeed attached to barrel and F1 about 14 feet downrange between all readings there was literally next to nothing in it, just 1-10 fps in it or so with some readings being identical. The F1 tended to read a touch slower which could be accounted for it being 14 feet away rather than muzzle mounted.

I have an F1 and a SuperChrono. With the F1 you have to be really careful it's lined up properly and it can be tricky in bright sunshine. Both seem accurate, though
