New Garmin Xero C1 Radar Chronograph

Was worried I got caught by the weekend, but FedEx has my package, delivery Tuesday.
Wife and I have a 600 match Saturday to test it out.
:)
 
Mine shipped and is on its way down under (no pun intended), so I'm keen to get this thing set up and see how it compares to my Labradar.

Unless the garage is over 20 yards deep it won't give you a reading. Per manual, needs 20 yards to target/backstop.

I tried mine down range with an air rifle and was able to get readings only three yards from backstop. The velocity numbers seemed accurate catching only nine feet of pellet flight. Out of curiosity I tried shrinking that distance down to only two yards but the Garmin didn’t register. This is way less than the 20 yards which the manual states.
 
Used mine for the first time today. Very easy to use. I'm very happy after my first test session. 4 different rifles. App paired easy as pie. Two thumbs up.
 
As I was packing up to leave the range today, there was a shooter two tables down shooting from a standing position off a tripod holding the rifle about 5ft high. He was standing between the shooting table and his tripod set up and I went over to see how my Garmin might work just sitting it on his table, being ~30" off to the side and ~24" back from the muzzle. It didn't miss a shot and readings were relatively consistent for the factory ammo he was shooting.
 
I've been unable to locate one of these units. Cabela's, Sheels, Optics Planet, etc are all out of stock. Are you guys getting on a waiting list or how are you finding them?

You just have to keep checking. A buddy of mine checked Scheels first thing this morning and they were out of stock. He checked again a couple hours later and scored one. I kept checking Cabelas a couple times a day and got mine.
 
Used mine today. It’s leaps ahead of Labradar… I did not even read directions and had it operational fittest time out and never missed a shot.

How is the data export on these? Any glitches or surprises getting the data off the chrono and into a spreadsheet?
