Amazing tech - surpassed expectations
on October 27, 2024
Posted by: Kris in NE
After 35 years using three different "sky screen" chronographs, each progressively better, I thought the Xero C1 was too good to be true. An incredibly small package that sets up in seconds, and fits easily in any shooting bag. I've used it with several rimfire an centerfire handguns and rifles in several weather and light conditions (even though I'd been told that shouldn't matter) and to date, it has yet to fail to record a shot. It's difficult to assess the accuracy, but checking my records against my newest sky screen model, the results are pretty similar and the rimfire measurements match factory specs, with slight deviations as expected with different barrel lengths.
The app for this chrono is great and includes a free-form field to capture info about the gun, weather, load data, etc. Both the chrono and app allow you to enter bullet weight so that energy calculations can be displayed. The app allows you to export the data for use on your PC/laptop, whether just for record keeping or for entry into ballistics apps.
While the price is somewhat higher than the latest sky screen models, this is a case where the size and convenience are worth every single dime - particularly if you use a public shooting range or can't choose your shooting days/times based on perfect lighting conditions.

Great little product!

I have been involved with chronographs foe over 45 years so I am quite familiar with the capabilities and little quirks of the different designs. This little unit is the premier of them all so far. It has not missed a shot in over 300 rounds. It has been compared side by side with a couple of other types and the accuracy is spot on. Based upon the performance if this unit two of my shooting friends have also purchased one even though they already had chronographs. The export software could use a little help though.

Outstanding Radar Chronograph
on November 6, 2024
Posted by: Rpjavier
This is my first chronograph. I had bought a Magnetospeed several years back but it was just too much of a hassle to use and returned it within a week. I looked into a friend's Labradar but that was also too complicated and bulky for my taste. The Xero is definitely none of the above. It was simple to place into operation and quite intuitive. I did not even refer to the manual even the first time I played with it. My friend with the Labradar said he always had to refer to the manual for setup. (He's now putting up his Labradar for sale). The Xero was up and running with a few push of some buttons and from what I can see, provided accurate readings. The display is easy to see and love the connection to the app and the ability to export the information by CSV file. The compactness is the other feature I love about it. I don't need to haul another case or container to the range. I'm just using an old pocket camera case I had lying around and the radar, tripod, charging cable and AC plug fits right in and goes into a side pocket of my range bag. Great job overall Garmin!

Xero C1 is a 10
on November 8, 2024
Posted by: BESpain
This chronograph it's so easy to operate. Screw the tripod on, turn it on, input the requested data and you're good to go. It works inside as well as outside. The Garmin app communicates effortlessly and all of your data is on your phone where you can export the data if needed. I should have gotten on the bandwagon from the release, instead of having this best be my third chronograph, it should have been my first and only!

Recently purchased and used for 22LR suppressed. Works wonderfully. When comparing 2-3 other Xero the results are very consistent.
