Arrows are no problem. Capture the velocity in my basement using the Garmin.Does it capture arrows? I read it does just wondering if anyone tried it. I assume it can also do shot shells?
lol the airborne LR is funny. seems like the garmin would be made with guys like prs in mind who mite very well want to attach them to a gun- i dont know- if i didnt mount mine to the rest id geta heavier base of some kindEarly on I saw a video where they took some really large rubber bands in a huge slingshot config and tossed a LabRadar (which I assume was broken or was after), but the Garmin captured the fps on the LabRadar flying. I can tell you it has no issues at all capturing at 4500+ fps, and does it every shot.
The little tripod is fine when using a bench but the legs are IMO too narrow set for uneven ground as it seems nearly top heavy as is. But heck you can mount this on anything, even a stick stuck in the ground or set it on a flat rock. Given the price I'm not about to mount to my rifle or anything that gets recoil impact. I know they seem ok with recoil but it's electronics so best to treat it with a bit more care as I certainly don't want to have to buy a replacement.

Hey and it still floats—lolArea 419 short. Takes a few tries but they got it. ROFL
My shooting buddy has one, picks up arrows easily and says it even picks up rubber bands shot from his finger!Does it capture arrows? I read it does just wondering if anyone tried it. I assume it can also do shot shells?
The good news is the others will be far less costly and only come down more with time.I wish i could afford one![]()
Yes, it does. I like the 204 Ruger and trip that level when playing with 32 grain loads.Question for you Garmin guys... Does it read over 3900fps? I know this was a drawback of the Labradar, just curious if Garmin got it right?
Very true. That`s how i ended up with the Comp Electronics Pro DLX w/BlueTooth. I grabbed one of them up for $99 on sale at MidwayUSA when they had a sale on them. Works pretty good for me. I live on a fixed disability income, so i can`t spend money freely like most people can.The good news is the others will be far less costly and only come down more with time.
Yep, one of the reasons I replaced my mag with it. Most of my rifles are fast varmint and I wanted to be able to chrono them. It has zero issues with 4500+ out of my Swifts. They say it maxes as 5000 and I've clocked 4520, it's never missed capturing a shot (so far) and all I do is set it on the bench just off front rest or bipod leg, so maybe 12-15" over and about even with the front of the stock and of course roughly pointed at the target. Easy as pie to use.Question for you Garmin guys... Does it read over 3900fps? I know this was a drawback of the Labradar, just curious if Garmin got it right?
so did this LR get mounted in front of the muzzle after the slingshot experience??? just wonder how it held up-lol- inquiring minds wanna knowArea 419 short. Takes a few tries but they got it. ROFL
