SO EASY TO USE!

This product is revolutionizing the Chrono market! I had it set up in minutes and was so easy to use. I love the storage capabilities to record data from range days and automatically calculate averages. Great product!
I bought this for use in our shop as switching from bow to cross bow on our old system wasn’t easy. I really like everything the unit offers. It does take a little experimenting to find exactly how close you need to be from the unit both behind and above.
I have had mine for over a month now. That is easily 500 recorded shots. Pros: easy to set up. Easy to use. Syncs easily with phone AFTER you are done with set. Battery lasts a long time. 4 hours of recording and still above 60% Cons: you have to choose a velocity. Above 1700 fps or below 1700 fps. Not a big deal unless you are working up loads that start below and end up above. Or if what you are testing is near that threshold and you don't know. THEN it will miss the shot and not record it. So you need to pay attention to this.
Other than that? Great. Way simpler and cleaner than other options.
I've used the chronograph for two 1.5 hour sessions at the rifle range with my air rifles and the Garmin has captured every shot. It recorded the pellets were traveling between 875 - 920 fps, and provided other useful information such as spread and standard deviation. The Garmin is worth every penny!
I know Garmin products are greatly appreciated. This item was well worth the wait and worth every hard earned dollar. Simple to use, accurate, consistent, small enough to hide in your range bag, Easy to use without disturbing other shooter
I have used the chronograph three times, using a lever action 357 rifle, a 22LR pistol and a 41 mag revolver. All shots were recorder. It was easy to set up and use and saved me at least 30 min. set up time. This is the best investment I have made.
