https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1..._campaign=hb-shooting-garmin-xero-chronoPreorder available at Midway USA. I am doing a little research to see how it compares to LabRadar. Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph with Bluetooth ![[Linked Image from media.mwstatic.com]](https://media.mwstatic.com/product-images/src/Primary/973/973474.jpg) ETA:I might regret buying the introductory model of anything. But I have it on back order. Yes, it is a doppler unit.

Cool concept, I'll be interested to hear how it performed. I like the smaller size.

Outdoor life article states that Hornady Ballistics Lab has been testing it alongside their equipment. Said results matched. Question I have is whether it can pick up the sub 22 caliber stuff that the lab radar does not.

I have a Labradar but this looks pretty slick. I think it’s supposed to read up to 5000 fps and it looks like it’s about 1/4 the size.

I was thinking about the Lab Radar also, but this one looks really interesting.

I would like to see:
1). Can add to a previous string/session - as in, I set a rifle aside to let it cool, shoot a different rifle, then come back to the first rifle and want to continue my previous session.
2). Detect shotgun shot strings, arrows, small calibers and rimfires.
Lots of other improvements as shown are welcome, and I like and use Garmin products already, but the listed issues are important to me.

Garmin typically makes quality products.

For a problem whose solution is as simple as a firmware update and corresponding change in their app, I’m really not sure why they haven’t made that change already. I emailed them with that suggestion several years ago, as I’m sure have several others by now.
