This thing is so easy to use, far easier than my old shoot-over chrono or even something barrel mounted like the magnetospeed. You just make sure the device is pointed down range and within the specified area of the muzzle and shoot, the Garmin rarely ever drops a shot. I also now have it mounted on an adapter to allow me to mount it to the Arca rails on my rifles. Really couldnt ask for more out of this unit at it's given size and price!
Small, powerful, easy to use, app is awesome. I've had several optical chronographs over the years and a LabRadar for 6 years or so ... and this blows everything out of the water. The size makes it something you can literally leave in your range bag, so convenient chrono is always at your disposal.
Got tired of setting up my old "rabbit ear" chrono during rifle load development and saw this new item. Reviewed it thoroughly and finally pulled the trigger. This Xero is SO easy to use, gives clear and accurate data, battery last a long time and has helped speed up cartridge development. It even works on my bow for archery season, the guys at the range were all asking about it. It's a bit spendy but the convenience of using the Xero is worth it.
Recently purchased this after recommendations from friends and some research. Super easy to use and extremely reliable. I tested it with a known load and rifle I had chronographed with two other chrono's and instantly got accurate results within 3 FPS of expected. Also got better and more consistent SD data. Highly recommend!
I bought the Garmin Xero c1 to replace my Magnetospeed Sporter. The simple set up and ease of use is unparalleled. The variety of speeds / uses is amazing. I like the fact that I can use this chronograph for my crossbow, rimfire, shotgun, muzzleloader, pistol, and centerfire rifles. The Shotview app that connects with the Xero c1 is convenient and stores all the important data. I also like the size of the entire unit. Several of my friends / fellow shooting club members have one and even reading reviews online, i don't know one person who doesn't like it. Overall I'd purchase another one over and over.
Just used this the 1st time last week. It was easy to set up and pair with my smart phone. I tested with factory ammo that had velocity numbers listed on box and the numbers were extremely close to those as listed. Reviewing on my cell was easy. Just be sure to start new session with each different load and put in notes on the cell app. In one session I had very expensive factory ammo blow out five straight primers. I notified factory they paid for return of ammo refunded me and we pleased to know I had the Garmin numbers from the shots. It will be easier to use now take a few learning steps.
