    Yeah but your not their target market,if you were there would be a lot more pictures and the stories would be written in crayon.

    Agree about the labradar though.

    Coming from someone who has to wear a helmet to bed??

    Why waste crayons on stupid shit like drawing? Blue ones are delicious

    Exactly.

    A $20 power pack or eneloop rechargables and it'll run for hours, works on suppressors, don't know about the 2m distance thing but it sounds like BS.

    The 2M thing is BS. Pure operator error - you'd think someone who writes can also read, but I suspect the manual had too many words for them.

    total rubbish - I've not read that magazine in a long time but thats just terrible

    NZ Guns and Hunting did a review on it a while ago when they first arrived - 300bl did the review as well

    I can't call the 2m thing bullshit as I have never had anyone shooting close to me when using it.
    However I am sure the manual says to avoid it due to being sound of shot activated

    I try and do any load development when there is likely to be no one at the range to avoid dumb questions and unwanted advice from people that can't help but put their 2c in.

    2 meters from another gun will cause issues with it set as sensitive as it goes, but there is a lot of adjustment to filter that out. I've had mine register another shooters shot as an error - i.e. triggered but did not register a velocity. Some adjustment, and it was good for the rest of the day.
