MyChron5 Optical Lap Receiver

The MyChron5 Optical Lap Receiver by AIM SPORTS is a precision chronograph receiver designed for shooters, armorers, and ballistics professionals who demand accurate velocity data in field and range environments. This compact optical sensor module interfaces with the MyChron5 system to capture bullet velocity with minimal setup, making it ideal for load development, ballistic verification, and performance testing across rifle and handgun platforms. Whether you're conducting ammunition testing, validating reloads, or documenting firearm performance for duty or competition, the optical lap receiver provides reliable data collection in daylight and controlled lighting conditions.

The optical sensor utilizes light-detection technology to register bullet passage through the chronograph window with high temporal precision, eliminating mechanical timing delays inherent in older piezo-based systems. The receiver's compact form factor—measuring 3.95 × 1.3 × 6 inches and weighing only 0.09 lbs—enables portability without sacrificing optical clarity or sensitivity. This design allows deployment in vehicle-mounted, portable range setups, or fixed installation scenarios without adding significant weight or bulk to your ballistic testing platform, while the optical method maintains measurement accuracy across supersonic and subsonic velocities.

Law enforcement armorer teams, military small-arms instructors, competitive reloaders, and ammunition manufacturers benefit most from the MyChron5 Optical Lap Receiver's precision and portability. Installation pairs seamlessly with existing MyChron5 chronograph systems and requires only basic alignment of the optical window perpendicular to your firing line. For best results, position the receiver in controlled ambient lighting to maximize sensor responsiveness, and ensure sufficient standoff distance from the muzzle—typically 10–15 feet—to allow safe bullet passage and clear optical registration without glare interference.
