Fantastically consistent and easy to use
on April 17, 2024
Posted by: brian62
I've used it for a month with both my rifles and bow. Amazingly easy to set up and use compared to a standard chrono, dramatically easier than the LabRadar and even more convenient than Magnetospeed (although also much more expensive than all but the LabRadar). 20 second set up and hasn't ever missed a shot. With my bow I set it on a taller tripod right at the stabilizer. Unlike shoot through chronos you can just ignore it and shoot normally. Everyone at the range wants in on the action and the direct read KE is nice

Great Alternative!

I've only tried this once, but it seems to measure velocities that very closely match the known velocities of my handloads. My only complaints: If someone else is shooting closer than six feet from you, your Xero C1 COULD pick up their shots as well as yours. There's no way (currently) to narrow your radar beam so only your shots are picked up. My other issue is the display; it's very dark if you are shooting under a covered range. I tried both screen settings, but it didn't make much difference. I'm sure it works better in open sunlight.

Just purchased this a few weeks ago and was so easy to setup and start using right away. Super intuitive design and very accurate muzzle velocity measurements.

Now I Collect Far More Data than Before!

The Xero is so much more convenient to use that I always take it to the range, and I never miss a group. Whereas with older chronographs, including the excellent Labradar, I would often forget something (like a tripod) that would prevent me from using it...I always have what I need with the Xero.
Aiming the Xero is not a process, you just point it. The user interface is so intuitive that no instruction manual is necessary.
Most importantly, I (along with several friends of mine who have other use cases) have used the Xero alongside other chronos and validate that its velocity data are sufficiently accurate.
Another cool thing is that it seems to be able to detect rounds fire by your neighbor (at the range) and then ignore them.
Also, the app is what it should be. I'm not the most demanding user in the world, but I can't think of anything I would change about the app or the device.

I bought this chronograph and started using it about a month ago. It was much easier to use than my old ones and worked flawlessly. I am getting rid of the old ones and never looking back. I love this new Garmin chronograph.

Easy to use

Works great. If using for arrow velocity be sure to place the target farther away to allow the device to measure. Initially I set my target/backstop too close which didn’t allow enough flight time to measure

Works any time any weather indoors and outdoors.

I bought this to get ballistic data for my reloads. It has worked perfectly every time I have used it. Easy to set up and the memories keep all your data until you get home from the range. Accuracy is tremendous compared to other chronos. Have used from 22 lr to 300 Win Mag with no missed shots or wild numbers. Best tool I have purchased in a long long time.
