Took my Garmin Chronograph up to the range this arvo just for fun at a 22 Benchrest shoot we were competing at
https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds
These things are absolutely nuts, it has never missed a beat with 696 shots over it so far even the 22 with tuner & tube well past the muzzle & bench where the cronie was

I will receive another 10 of these tomorrow or Tuesday depending on the couriers
Whats the price for these units?
$1200Quote:

Just an FYI no warranty if it is fitted to a rifleQuote:

Their app working well these days.
It's bigger but works just as well.

I don’t think many new labradars will be purchased going forward
Labradar has one advantage (yet)
Velocity readings over a certain range. I.e. 80yrds downrange...
If garmin are smart they will try to implement that functionality as well...
I think magnetospeed are in bigger trouble than labradar...Quote:

Most of my suppressors weigh more than the V3 as a point of note. One serious advantage of the Labradar and Garmin devices is you can use them on big arsed overbore magnum rifles fitted with F-U (and your ears plus eyes when shooting over pumice) radial loudeners. I've made up a little shield that clamps on with circlips to divert (for a second time) the muzzle blast out of the radial break back up and forwards and away from the vulnerable bits on the V3 but it still needs a clean afterwards. Makes a difference to the recoil you feel too...Quote:

Mine does not cause a noticeable shift when I have it horizontal, either
Nevertheless, a mount from a picatinny rail on the stock/chassis is next on the project list...
Got these this morning :)

Most of them are already on the way to their new owners :thumbsup:
Shot a few groups of pellets through a couple of air rifles today, all around 760 fps over my Garmin, it never missed one, these things are absolutely nuts :cool:
Literally turn it on, push some buttons to get it to do what you want, plonk it on the bench pointing towards the target & away you go, takes less time than me typing this sentence :)
I have sold that lot of ten & have another 5 on their way due here Monday (courier dependant) if any one would like one $1200
Shot some arrows over my one in the workshop, didn't miss a beat, no way a Labradar would have managed it, or the slug gun for that matter
To be fair, all you need a chronograph for is load development to get es and SD.Quote:

A luxury really.
If you didn't have either you would be a fool if you didn't buy the Garmin at this stage.

Looks compact. What's the battery life like on them?
He’s coming around people ;)Quote:

I have more of these coming next week, another short week :)
Had a big day testing loads today with the Garmin C1 and it was going 7 hours 180 shots between 4 rifles, still had 50% battery. Had some small amount of tall grass in the way of the radar with no shots missed. My mate was super impressed with the size and quick setup anywhere with flawless results compared to our other mates old lab radar.
Had some more show up this morning, with a couple availible :)

Last ones until well into March apparently
A bit of impromptu new bow testing prework this morning
https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds
This one is made from Manuka & goes fairly well for the pull weight
Really like these new Garmins, because they are so compact I took mine hunting last week as I’ve had the odd low shot on a cold clean barrel. It’s nice validate velocity’s in true hunting scenarios and rule out human error, elevation and equipment etc.
Got the chance to compare two units against the same gun at the same time. Most of shots are within 1fps difference between the two.
