My friend has one and we use it a lot. We started out using the bench stand and quickly got rid of it and use a tripod beside the bench. One of the ranges we go to has wooden benches and the labradar gets rocked around by the recoil so the tripod seems to work better beside the bench. The only problem I've noticed is that it will pick up shots from other shooters and mess you up sometimes, but that's probably a trigger setting adjustment. I bought a power bank from bestbuy and it is well worth the $ to not have to use AA's.
