Hmmmm, good luck defending that statement

Other reasons for a chronograph are to help tune your bow, putting speed nocks on your string (see the other thread) strand count, amount of serving, comparing different string materials for speed and consistancy, optomising cam rotation, tuning brace height, nock tightness, fletching size, point weight variation.......you can get feedback for all these things from your arrow speed
