Labradars for sale?

[jimmymac]

When Garmin sets out to do something they seem to do well. It wasn’t all that long ago that the fish finder market was totally dominated by Lowrance and Humminbird. Garmin decided there was room for more competition and succeeded in a big way. This latest unit I have is a Garmin and it is pretty amazing. Love the live mapping feature where I can create my own contour maps on the fly that are far superior to any store bought map chip I’ve ever used.

I suspect this new Garmin chronograph will be a better mousetrap. Time will tell.

This is probably a good thing for folks on a limited budget. They may not have been able to afford
a Labradar, Speedtraker, or Magnetospeed (w/ all the goodies) prior to the Garmin release.
Now we're seeing huge discounts on both chronos that will make it more affordable for those folks.
Now, if you think the market is flooded with chronographs, wait until Ingenuity Precision releases his
powder throw/ trickler combo, then count the number of AT V3/ V4s that come up for sale.

I'll wait for the Garmin 3.0.. Electronics get cheaper and better over time.

I remember my mom delaying an upgrade to her desktop computer because they kept getting cheaper. She passed away before spending anything.

Not wishing the same on you or anything like that; just saying that waiting is not always the smartest thing.

Seems like every day there is a new add for Labradar and it looks like they are not selling very well. Right now there are at least five for sale and new ones being added constantly.

So what it the problem?

There are more threads asking why this is than for sale ads.
New Garmin chrono.

Looks like this may be one factor. Only time will tell.

New Garmin Xero C1 Radar Chronograph

Yesterday a guy at the range told me that Garmin is coming out with a new chronograph. Anybody else hear anything? The only reference I found was on Snipers Hide .https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/garmin-xero-c1-pro-chronograph.7189898/ I sure hope it's not vaporware Forum Boss: Here...

Could be a new brand coming.
Could be folks figuring out it did not make them a winner.
Could be frustration trying to get the Lab Radar to read. I was ready to get rid of mine till I read about the JKL Trigger. It's beyond me why they don't include one with the unit when sold.
I put my money on my third thought as being the major factor.

The Garmin is smaller, lighter, more versatile and doesn’t miss like the LabRadar does. Two trips to the range with a LabRadar and I was right back to a magneto.

I do plan to buy a Garmin when the market stabilizes.

A lot of shooters are looking for the Golden Fleece to make them winners.
It's practice practice, what makes winners not fancy shiny stuff.

 

[whatsupdoc]

Some like new toys to play with, kind of like when new Iphones come out. Must have the latest and greatest and thats fine, they can spend their money any way they like.
I really don't think anyone really buys a crono to make them a shooting god.

Until another new one moves in

Ya know; One other thing I like about my Lab Radar is the fact
that it blocks the sun for me in the early hours when there is no
wind. Garmin ain't going to do that and Andi Scan failed that
test also......So I don't need to chase the next shiney......LOL

For a minute I though that LabRadar hired Dylan Mulvaney for their new ad campaign

“Lab Lite”

 

[Joe Salty]

Well sorry boys but I own a Lab and don't have problems with it missing shots. And all I use it for is when I change loads or powder lots. There have been a lot of guys who ask me to help them with there's at the range and most guys either have the thing to far away from the barrel or not aimed correctly,
But I do have a Garmin coming!

I have a Labradar and have no problems with it.
And see no reason to buy a new toy when the old one does everything already.
Have you seen what this has done to the used labradar prices.
Some have to have the latest, greatest toy.

 

[Larry Koch]

I would buy 2 more barrels than a new Garmin. The Labradar works about as good as it can get. Minus the size. But I won't forget it at the range. The large orange box will always say pic me.

Garmin??? Wonder how it performs when at a range with several shooters in close proximity.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

Kind of a bad comparison, but I wonder how many will pull their CC out for this over the same $ for a FX-120i digital scale.
