Do it!

It’s worth it.

🦫

can someone who purchased this new Garmin unit have a 17 Remington in a rifle to see if it can read 4,000 FPS when a 17 bullet is shot please . i am still on the fence tell i see proof it can read little bullets like the 17 caliber ,204 caliber , 220 Swift bullets otherwise i will just keep using old faithful my Ohler 35 ,which is a pain in the arse to set up. thank you,Pete53

I can do the 204 test....no help on the 17.

Fuck me, this thing is TINY!

When my Chrony gave up the ghost, I would have put it out of my misery with one shot, had I been alone.

Got my Garmin today. Looking very forward to range time now, "even more so than I was!"

Just added the Shotview app, paired the devices, and the Garmin went straight in to an update which took about five minutes. Also...it only took about fifteen minutes on the wall charger to bring the unit up to 100% charge.

All good to go...AND...we are in for 24hours of thunderstorms!


Fair chance we are going to cop a kicking.

Organised one of these, should be enough room to hold the assembled unit, instructions, and a changing cord.

Well, the drama from Scheels continued. They shipped the original one to me last Wednesday it looks like only for UPS to deny shipment. I called Scheels and got my refund issued on the credit card. I just happened to look online and the BPS here had them, but would not let an online order go through. I called and talked with BPS they did indeed have them, so they pulled one off the shelf for me. I picked it up Monday after work. Now I have to wait for Christmas for it.

I used one of these:

I've had an Orgler 35P for years. Never missed a beat. Bought a Magneto Speed a few years ago. That said, I have a Garmin on order through the LGS

Gosh, things have changed a bit since my first Chrono, having to look in a chart to see what the numbers meant !!

I was thinking the same today. Started with an Oehler 33, upgraded it to a 35. Moved on to a Shooting Chrony, which I would have shot had I been alone at the range. Then tried a Competition ?? Pro Chrono, really worked well but did not like the whole setup of messing with tripod mounts & skyscreens. Totally bypassed the LabRadar, not interested. Progressed to a Magneto Speed, then the MG Speed 3 which I mounted remotely. Was not going to mount it on the barrel.

Now I have graduated to this Garmin unit which I think will supersede them all ultimately.

I'd be willing to bet that LabRadar will have a smaller unit on the drawing board right away, not that I would buy one.

So you guys that have been using this......just got mine today......is the black background the best option or the white? Wondering if one is better than the other when outdoors.

Scheels shows them in stock.

Do they work for shotguns?

Well I just ordered my xmas present................................

Are these on Amazon? If so what brand

Picked it up from ebay, and had a local fellow that does signs put the box through his laser cutter to mark the box so I will know which box it is.
It only cost a couple of dollars for the signage.

The box is a good size that allows the unit to be packed away whole, and has space for the cord and paperwork.

I'm going to ask Santa Claus for one myself! I just hope i've been a "good boy" in this last rotten, can't catch a break year of "23!! ha
