LabRadar review from RSI

Came across this while poking around over @ RSI for something else:

Interesting review of a LabRadar unit compared to a MagnetoSpeed and a CED M2.

Just got my orange unicorn in last night; haven't had a chance to do much with it as of yet.

I was advised yesterday that mine should ship sometime during the 2nd week of May. I ordered March 14. That's excellent turnaround for such a hot item.

Good read, thanks for the link.

I've taken mine to the range and tested it out which zeroing a scope. I was overly cautious while setting it up and aiming. It was 6 for 6 and the numbers mirrored my magneto speeds previously recorded numbers. Very happy with my labradar.

From what place did you guys order from? I ordered mine from TCK,LLC, but they won't tell you were you are on the list.

I ordered from TCK. I got an e-mail telling me my unit would ship shortly and that I needed to reconfirm my CC info and shipping info. I was given the delivery window when I called. Until then, I had no idea where I stood in line.

You can order directly from Labradar and they will keep you updated.

I love the orange unicorn nickname

Mine arrived at a Bud's today. He is doing the hvy lifting on a modded 6xc, long neck so when notifiedabt shipping, I quick called and asked if it was too late to change addies.

The super nice gent who answered the phone thought it could be done as UPS hadn't made the p/u yet............but he'd have to go through the 80 unis on the pallet to find mine. I thanked him for his efforts and it showed up today. Bad wind so no shooting in N. SC yet to break it in.

I got the email this week...I got mine through LRH and not real sure when I ordered it...it was after the first of the year but seems like forever ago.

Guess I need to sell my Oheler 35 now

Interesting,
In the article testing the LabRadar against the MagnetoSpeed and the CED, the one test with the large number of shots gave almost identical statistical results.
Too many people think 3 or 5 shots make a statistical sample. Wrong! It takes a lot of samples to get statistically valid results.The end result of the part of the test with many shots showed the statistics nearly identical on all units with only the avg velocity showing slightly different numbers that on their own are still more than close enough for good data.

Great article. This is the most detailed treatment I've seen of the idea of using LabRadar to determine ballistic coefficients and not just velocities.

It seems like an interesting tool to help use shot to shot BC and velocity data to attempt to diagnose whether dropped points are likely due to variations in these quantities rather than wind or shooter error or unknown rifle quirk.

Thanks for the link.
