Caldwell Velociradar

Did more testing today.

Absolutely abysmal. Missed shots. Wild readings. We had 2 shots out of about 100 that read 2 bars on the signal quality bars. The rest of the shots didn’t read, were weak signal or just total garbage. At 100 meters across a range and even pointing up, completely unrestricted at the 500 meter target we got jack and Ships.
That’s too bad they put this out in the market with that kind of inconsistency.
 
I LOVE how easy the Garmin is to operate.
But, would LIKE to test something like the Caldwell, just out of curiosity.
But, not for the full price.
 
Now that they are shipping, Anybody brave enough to try one?

I bought one and it is far superior to my Magneto Speed and Labrador. If you want more definitive information about what your bullet speed is at up to ten different points of yardage between the muzzle and 100 yards or you want your exact ballistic coefficients on your bullets in flight, then the chirp radar system will blow you away from the doplar system used by all of the rest of the chronographs presently manufactured. If you look around hard enough online, you can find them for around the $450 mark including shipping, but not sales tax for those of us that have to pay it. I have a LongShot LR-3 mile camera system, a LongShot 1mile system, and a Bullseye camera system that I set-up at 100yds. This allows me to cover yardage I'm shooting from a hundred yards to two miles by myself. I'm the last one living out of all of my shooting and fishing buddies. It's a terrible thing to be the last one. You can't get any friends to help you if you need someone, you can't reminisce with one about the past. But, the worst thing about it is that not a damn one of them are going to come to my funeral! Might as well not have one.
 
I see a link that says "notify when available".


Then, when you go to the Caldwell site and view Chronographs, it is not listed at all. Odd

Wow they have taken it off the market. Obviously not working... better send mine back too then.

IF you really need BC data the FX seems to be the go, it's also a doppler... eiiish this might cost Caldwell big time.

Your Labrador has had the multiple velocity and BC functions since product launch.
