Athlon chronograph in stock

Got the Athlon unit Saturday. Haven't had a chance yet to try it with firearms.

I did shoot one of my PCP rifles at my home indoor range for initial testing. The target is 10 meters down a 3 foot wide hallway. To my surprise, it picked up all the shots and the numbers match up nicely with optical chrony numbers.

I also shot one of my crossbows. The velocity readings from it also matched up with optical chrony readings.
 
I got my Athlon last week and used it this past weekend to test my first load of 100 hand-loaded 308s. I likw the export to Excel feature which really satisfies the numerically oriented nerd in me.

Two enthusiastic thumbs up for the Athlon doppler thing.
 
I've been using mine.
SO much nicer than hauling around that bigo orange thing (Labradar)
Fits in my range bag and you can even place it under the barrel. :)
 
Just got an email, Optics Planet has them for $400. Any new info on these from the folks who bought them?

This for $400 or the Garmin for $600? I need to replace my ShootingChrony.
 
Bought my Athlon from ExpertVoice, $332 including tax & shipping. They still have them for $299.99 plus tax and shipping.
 
I like my Athlon and use it when I’m shooting BPCR matches. It’s great for capturing data. The only thing I would like to see is a stand alone app for it.

I have used my Athlon for archery and rifles. Works great! Import versus Import, choose your poison.
 
I bought my Athlon Chronograph new from a guy on this site that had bought (10) of them when they first came out. I paid $350 shipped (a very fair deal). It works great! I've used it mostly for my air guns and a small amount for my .22 rimfire match rifles. It works like a champ! So far I'm really impressed with this unit.
 
i bot a used one also recently and it matched my lab radar numbers and i like the option for downloading data to the app and emailing it to yourself and of course the size is nice also, any mounting options for the raptor/rodzilla?
 
I have an Athlon and it is great. Sold my labradar for peanuts. It served me well. I believe I have a 30 feet per second error with my Athlon. That has been mention by a few folks.
