New Garmin Xero C1 Radar Chronograph

[xr650rRider]

I don't update my phone often. I am still using a Galaxy S8 and am assuming it is not compatible because ShotView doesn't even show up in Play Store. Wonder if the app could be accessed and linked to Xero with a tablet? May be a dumb question but I am about computer stupid LOL
Safe shooting

I use an S10 and the Play Store didn't list it when I input ShotView. But it did show up when I input Garmin ShotView.

Backorder now. Once you work all the way to checkout...

They sent an email confirming my order but they have not taken the money out for it yet so I am not certain if I got one in time or not.

Tried both and no joy.
Thanks for input

I have an optical chronograph and a MagnetoSpeed that I use after load tuning to measure bullet velocity. What advantage(s) are there to using a chronograph on a regular basis? I’m having a hard time justifying spending the money for a radar based unit!

Got one from Scheels today. I wouldn't have done it but my Magneto Speed is taking a crap. I'll play with it Saturday.

Any word if it will work with shot shells?

Good review from Xring.

I counted 12 listings selling Lab Radars... In just two pages.

Labradar might as well close up shop

VERSATILE PERFORMANCE​

The device can measure projectile speeds from 100 fps to 5,000 fps for bullets, arrows, slugs, birdshot, airsoft BBs, pellets and paintballs.

Any specs on what matters most - measurement accuracy?

How Accurate is the Garmin Xero C1 Pro?​

Chronographs are only useful in as far as they provide accurate results. Garmin offers an accuracy claim saying that the speeds it records will be within .1 percent of their actual value. That means for a projectile going 3000 fps, the margin of error is 3 fps.

My own testing showed the Garmin Xero C1 Pro spitting out results that mirrored my LabRadar, which I’ve relied on to give me accurate data for ELR matches and other long-range competitions.

For instance, the first groups I put over it was with my Gunwerks Nexus in 6.5 PRC. I was shooting a batch of Hornady 147-grain ELD-Ms. From the Labradar the ten shots gave an average MV or 2767 fps, an ES of 66 and an SD of 21.5. The Garmin gave an MV of 2767.8, an ES of 71 and an SD of 21.3.

That satisfied me, but I got a much stronger and more telling testimonial from the ballistic engineering team at Hornady. They have a spendy radar setup used to create the profiles for their 4DOF ballistic solver and for testing various projectiles. For the past couple months they’ve been running a couple pre-production Xeros against their radar and have reported that the velocity figures are essentially identical. That should set the mind of even the crustiest skeptic at ease.

They will have to. And declare bankrupcy to not have to deal with warranties and support. Hate to see this happen but thats life and death in the tech world.
