This is an extremely easy to use Chronograph that will change the way you shoot. The only issue that I had was battery life, but that was more about the user than the product. It hadn't been charged after 2 range trips (minimum 3 hours each) and midway through the 3rd trip, the battery died. The advertised battery life is 6 hours, so I'm very happy with it. It did charge quickly though. There may be cheaper Chronographs out there, but nothing as easy to use and portable as this.
Using this for load development is fantastic since it gives all of the metrics that allow a full picture of the performance of the shots. Using the Garmin Shotview app in conjunction with the Xero also allows you to keep the data stored on your phone allowing your range time to be more efficient.
So easy to use and pack around, nothing touches the gun affecting your harmonics. Speeds up the process of working up new loads. I used to hate using a chronograph now it's easy and fun to gather the data. I've been using it on everything from 22lr to 300 win mag. Buy once cry once.
Absolutely the best chrono on the market right now. I’ve started years ago with the old Shooting Chrony and had moved up to the Labradar. Thought it was good, but this little thing blows it away. Easy to set up and the only time it has missed shots is when I shot a .22 pistol over it and shot too fast. Great machine. Best money I’ve spent in a long time.
I have only had it three weeks but was able to take it to the range three times and it was great. I wanted to find out what some of my reloads were doing, from my 223 to my 45-70. I even checked a fellow shooter's 50 cal. It never missed a recording and the phone app works great.
