As soon as this was announced I knew I wanted it. To be able to chrono my bow and my guns with one small unit is the best. I took this to the range the other day and had multiple people asking about it and wondering why they were carrying big, heavy equipment around. I tested next to my magneto speed and the results were the same. Best purchase I've made in a while.
I’ve had an opportunity to use my new Garmin Xero C1 three times now at the range. It’s easily fits in a small pocket of my range bag. As a reloader it’s nice to see how my reloads measure compared to text book predictions. It’s so easy to use! Fully set up and ready to take new readings in under 30 seconds. This is a fantastic product!
Now that I have this, it's a necessary piece of equipment when doing load development. Real time knowledge of muzzle velocity is a plus rather than relying on what load manuals indicate.
This is by far the easiest chronograph to set up, no problems recording with other firearms around, and it switches from gun to gun with ease using an arca mounted camera bracket system. We have clients who share their results easily with email downloads. Highly recommended, even though we really like our Magnetospeeds and were frustrated as heck with the finicky Labradar.
