We've shipped Skyscreen III units with Oehler chronographs since 1984. The original lens system and optical design have been tested and proven by thousands of shooters, and the units have been refined to near perfection.

You'll see fewer false triggers from static electricity and electrical interference. The older single-shield cable has been replaced by a cable with improved shielding.

The rugged single-bolt mounting system has been reinforced. Unlike skyscreens that mount with four little screws through two plastic ears, Skyscreen III units mount without tools and they don't break.

The 2' mounting rail is free!

If you use other skyscreens, expect to pay an extra $24 plus shipping for their red mounting bracket. We include a 2' mounting rail with each Model 35. This rail can be mounted on your camera tripod and works for archery, airguns, handguns, shotguns and rifles. Our simple rail starts life as a piece of ½ inch EMT electrical conduit. We add three precisely located dimples to hold three skyscreens and a removable bracket to fit a standard camera tripod. When you tighten the single ¼"-20 mounting screw of each skyscreen into its own dimple, your screen spacing is precise. You need no tools at the range.

You can get superior accuracy at the higher rifle velocities by using a 4' rail.

For years other manufacturers ridiculed our use of diffusers; now even the most vocal critics suggest diffusers and sell their own. We've gone a step farther and have improved ours for even better performance.

The new diffuser's special blaze orange material provides the highest sensitivity with early and late light. The translucent material tames the brightest noonday sun while the wide roof protects the lens from glare.

The diffuser doesn't flutter in the wind and it easily absorbs the muzzle blast of big guns. The new parts will withstand practically any abuse except a direct bullet hit. Still, the side rails flex to protect your skyscreens if your mounting rail takes a tumble. Each diffuser assembly is made of three interlocking parts that store compactly and mount easily.

All parts, including the skyscreen cases, are molded of tough General Electric Lexan™ polycarbonate. There's no metal to rust or kink and there's no glue to fail. For some jobs, a premium plastic is just better than steel. Our diffusers survive abuse that turns the touted "16 gauge steel" diffusers into twisted scrap.
