understood on the tape on the outside of the rear antenna wire but I'm a bit hazy on the spot to aim

In the center of the paper equidistant from all sides, the top, sides and bottom of the triangle formed by the "antenna'' Using this method I have had people shoot thru my unit that have never even seen a chronograph and not hit anything important..When you shoot thru a chrono you only worry about a backstop for the bullet after it has passed thru the device.

10-4 .... I've never had an issue when using open sights but, unfortunately, with a scope focused on a target down range, I can't see the chronograph .... I believe that by mounting it on a tripod it will be easier to place the chrony where the bullet should pass toward the top of the antennas where its as far from the body of the chrony as is possible .... in addition, I was trying to do two things at once, testing various loads to see how they grouped and the speed they generated .... I really need to do one at a time .... test a few rounds for speed and then put aside the chrony and test some more for grouping .... hopefully, lesson learned

as I continue researching what's out there I ran across the Labradar Ballistic Velocity Doppler Radar ===> https://www.amazon.com/Labradar-Ballist ... 8QEPBJG43W <=== YouTube videos abound and I find it interesting that folks either love or hate the Labradar ===> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGz3Gbf5njw <=== at its price point, it isn't one I'd consider but I do find it interesting
