Coming from magnetospeedv3 using the barrel mount. Both are accurate to each other and pickup small s rounds better than the lab radar. but can zero my guns while pulling velocity data. picks up 22lr and arrows as well. setup is fast it dumps data to your phone. A must for anyone looking to make accurate shots on target at long range. not sure what else to say but this app is telling me to put more info.... 10/10 would buy again.
this Chrono is absolutely amazing. i've used few other brands over the years and none compare. Xero C1 requires no special set up/attachment you just set it next to you and it'll do its job. i've used it on: Rifles, Muzzleloader, Archery(compound) and its very accurate, never missed reading a shot, battery life is amazing, menu/usability is just so easy and simple. you wont find a better chrono.
I've used a magneto speed sport model and a Lab Radar. The Garmin blows both of them out of the water, when it comes to size and ease of use.
The Lab Radar has a couple of tracking festures that the Garmin does not have, but the LR falls short in all other areas. The LR app is almost unusable, the Garmin app is seamless.
The LR misses shots if not aligned very accurately, the Garmin is extremely simple - not finicky about alignment. My 10 Year Old can set the Garmin up by himself.
The LR has a tendency to pick-up shots from others shooters at times of they are nearby.
The Garmin Xero C1 is certain to take the vast majority of the future Chrono market.
I bought this a month ago and have put roughly 1000 rounds over it. It has not missed a single round and it seems very accurate according to validation with multiple loads at 1000 yards.
Compared to most chronographs, the Xero C1 is easy to setup and use. It takes seconds to setup and configure for the round/arrow one wants to measure. No need to connect your mobile device to save the data, and once you connect your mobile device the app syncs and downloads all the unsync'd data since its last use. I've only used it for airgun pellets at this time, but it worked flawlessly each time I've used it. The end purpose will be to get data on handloads
Compact, easy to set up, simple user interface and most importantly, it just works. Much simpler than a Lab Radar, and waayyy better than the old chronographs that were sensitive to light conditions.
I've had no problem getting velocity on BBs at 600 fps, 22LR, 9mm, 45ACP, 223 and 308.
I'm really impressed with how easy it is to use the Garmin Xero. No more cumbersome sky screens, no more derailed set up. Just turn it on and start shooting.
