I just purchased the Garmin. It is amazingly simple to use. I am extremely pleased with mine

Why is retired capitalized?

Thanks for posting. Kinda odd to see him shooting left handed rifles right handed.

Our resident gunwriter is semi-retired, so maybe this one could suffice.

I may have missed it but the dude in the video's highest praise for the new LR is how good/significant it felt in his hands?


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Pretty much the gist of it.


Ironic isn't it, liking one because it is bigger and heavier.

Probably because it feels more significant, like it's worth all the $$ they cost. My Garman is light as a feather.

Yeah, along with the fact that a 40mph wind may blow the Garmin over.

I live in the windiest place in North America. Literally. If the wind blows over the Garmin it will blow over the LR.

I have had one question regarding the new Garmin with regards to wind. I own a Garmin Xero S1 Trapshooting trainer and have found that wind can cause background folage to move around causing the Garmin to get confused.

Does their new chronograph have an issue with wind?

Supporting Leftist Canada vs. American ally Taiwan is a reason to buy a larger and heavier chrono that performs equally well? Is this some kind of joke or is the guy getting financial support from Labradar?

I haven’t bought a new chrono and still use my 35P. But when I buy a new one it’ll be the smallest and lightest reliable unit I can fit in my range bag, as long as the battery life is enough to last for 3-4 hours of shooting. Based on everything I’ve seen and read so far the Garmin seems to be the right choice.

Yeah, it was more like one of those unboxing YouTube videos. The guy didn’t bother to note the new features of the Xero or LRLX.

As Rickbin noted in his Shotshow post a while back, the Canadian built LRLX data is “solely yours” while the Taiwan built Xero’s data can be accessed by a third party.

I guess whenever a guy turns on his Garmin he should say “hi” to the Chinese….
