I shot a chrono the other day with my buddy and I absolutely loved it. Cant remember the name but it was the size of a tablet with a circle on top for aiming to target. No wires, no taking off your can, the simplest chrono on planet earth and it was just awesome. Just sit beside gun and point to target and it reads the data.
Well my friend said buy the Garmin its just as good and much smaller and cost less. His was a grand. The Garmin is $600.
Anyone used one of these and have feedback?

A caller to the Gun Talk Radio show had a great range report on one he bought.

I have the more expensive Andi-Scan that preceded the Garmin unit by about a year and it works fantastic. Glad I found it before plopping down dollars on that huge lab radar crap which would have been just one more large thing to lug around with my gear.

The Garmin looks to be a similar form factor.
These are wonderful devices and labradar is obsolete just like that..... Plop them on a small tripod or rail attach and you're never without a chronograph. This one literally fits in your front pocket.
I've never missed a shot with this one.
With the Garmin at a cheaper price point and available in the US, you're going to see a lot of those labradars up for sale real cheap, real soon.
They’re getting great reviews on Sniper’s Hide.Quote:

Very cool bit of kit, on my list for next year.
Here is what I have been told by a couple of guys that have them.
They are , easy.to use. Seem to be just as accurate. Small.
But if you want data, Labrador is the way to go. They gather and organize data better
Garmin uses some proprietary PIT files.
I haven't used one side by side yet.

Just a matter of time until someone makes a nice phone app to work with the Garmin for all your data logging and organizing needs.
Garmin has a bluetooth app for that already. It's called Shotview, free and works as advertised. It threw me at first because it doesn't transfer data until after you end the session. I'm happy with the setup. just stick kinda pointed down range and it works. aiming isn't critical.Quote:

Anyone looking for a lightly used MagnetoSpeed V3? :)
