I replaced it with a Pro Chrono digital for about the same price and the improvement was marvelous, very seldom a missed reading regardless of the angle of the light.

I'm thinking about getting a Pro Chrono myself. I've had two Shooting Chrony's and never had any real problems with either other than the occasional "err" if I've got it close enough to actually read the display or the occasions where It'll show the exact same velocity for two or three shots which is almost certainly a missed reading.

I shot my first Chrony with a muzzleloader and the one I have now has some chips in the display from bullet lube so I had planned on getting another Chrony but with the separate display but, honestly, I get tired of putzing with the 2-piece sky screen rods and the 3-piece plastic sky screens.

Are the rods and sky screens on the Pro Chrono 1-piece?

I find a good way to set the chronograph up promptly and with the least fuss is to set a rifle up on bags so the sight stays on the target. Put a laser bore sighter in. Check that the sight is still on the target with your hands off the gun. Then go out and adjust the chronograph position until the laser appears on your palm at the center of both screens areas.

That's a great idea!
