Mount on tripod
Aim at Target
Turn on
Set parameters (distance to target, velocity ranges expected and a few others)
From relatively close to the unit, fire shot
Read velocity
It will not pick up on other shots on the range.

I want to validate trajectory. Don’t care about MV that much.

I am not sure what you mean? So are you saying that you don't use Chrony, as in, brand/model by the name of Chrony.
Are you saying that you don't use a 'velocity measurement device'?

It will if they are in the bay next to you as they are by default acoustically triggered and will read any projectile that enters the beam pattern. It’s for this reason I rarely use mine at the range.
