Chronograph...

Off topic, yet may be of interest...

Something I've used in the past, is (I think it's called) Chairgun. Download the software, plug in a microphone to your computer, and it will calculate the projectile speed based on sound timing between the shot and impact.

Maybe you could use Arduino to make something similar.

I thinke it's called Softchrono.

I've been trying to build something similar using arduino. The detectors would be something similar to what is described in this link:

Still trying to figure the software part out.
