Love it

I've used various chronos over the last 40 years and this is by far the best for the general user. Very easy to set up and use, put thousands of rounds down range and it hasn't missed one yet. I don't bother with phones or apps so I can't address any of those issues. As a reloader/hunter, this chrono is perfect for me.

Probably the easiest chrono to use

This has been the easiest chrono to use. Because of the compact size, I find myself taking it to matches just to confirm velocities at the specific range. The app helps me keep track of sessions and other data. It’s arguably the best chrono on the market at the moment.

I've used many Chronograph's in the past...

... but this one is my favorite. Last month I saw one of these units in use at our club match and was very impresses by its size and functionality. To be able to just put it on the bench next to my competition Benchrest rifle was a nice addition to my bench equipment.
The number one most important benefit was not having to go back and forth from the bench to a Chronograph on a tripod setting it up saving time.
The use of this Xero C1 is easy setting it up to record a string of shots you want to record for each target your shooting in competition or for load development.
Its small footprint does not take up much space on the bench. As a rechargeable Doppler radar unit you don't need to worry about running out of power. It comes with a spare power pack you cane plug into the Chronograph to recharge it on those long load development days.
This is a very accurate Chronograph with features the shooter is going to like. With the cell phone app just download the data for later load evaluation. The shooter's on the left and right side did not add any shots to my course of fire and recognized those were false and not record them. This is a well designed user friendly setup I would recommend highly to any serious shooter.

Works very well

Great chronograph. Had a caldwell for a bit. Setting up was a pain, holding up the firing line constantly to get the distance and height correct. Small window to shoot through to get a reading and not shoot the chronograph. I would load 5 rounds of each and hope that 2 would get good readings or any reading at all. OK, long story, the Xero C1 eliminated that ENTIRE process. Set up is really easy and you just set it on the bench and shoot. THATS IT!!! Hasn't missed a reading yet. Accurate and saved $$$ on ammo trying to get readings. Awesome product for sure. The app could use some work, like adding folders to separate calibers and loads but seriously, not complaining.

Must have piece of equipment
on May 20, 2025
Posted by: Andrew F
If you are serious about long range shooting than this is a vital piece of equipment. The Garmin unit is accurate, reliable, and makes getting velocities so much easier than other styled chronographs. Nothing hanging off your barrel, so setting up a tripod in front of you and messing with sun screens that never seem to work correctly. This is a must-have.
