The best
on November 13, 2024

I've used a few other chronographs but, the Garmin Xero is simply the best consumer chronograph on the market! It uses radar which means it can sit next to your gun/bow/air rifle as opposed to in front/in the path of the projectile. This means at public ranges you don't have to wait for the line to go cold. It also means it doesn't need to be aligned super accurately, just pointed in the right direction. You also don't have to worry about shooting it!
It's simple to set-up, catches every round without miss and the app works flawlessly. Battery life is great and when it does need charging, it uses USB-C and not some proprietary plug. It's also super compact so it fits in a range bag easily.
I wish it came with a nice fitted carrying case, but there are plenty of cases available for it online.

The only real negative comment I have about is that it doesn't like shotgun rounds. Specifically bird shot. It may do better with slugs and larger shot sizes but, it routinely fails to pick up #8 and #9 shot.

Xero C1 Chronograph

Super small unit that is easy to set up and start shooting. It is very consistent and I have not lost a shot yet; It has given me a reading on every shot. I am super happy with this chronograph. No more setting up the old Chrony and waiting for the sun to shine.

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

Xero C1 is a 10

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!

Convenient and easy to use

Have used Caldwell and Magnetospeed chronographs in the past and this one is just so much more convenient to transport and easy to use. I either set it on the shooting bench or attach it to an arca rail mount if shooting from a tripod. The app also makes it simple to store and review data for load development. Garmin really crushed it with this one!
