New Garmin Xero C1 Radar Chronograph

I'd like to find someone that ordered one from Cabela's recently. They show having them but I have a feeling they'll be a delay in shipping due to them not being in stock. I ordered mine right from Garmin and they said 36-58 days before I get it.
I ordered mine from Bass Pro/Cabelas on 10/24/2023 and it was delivered on 10/26/2023

I don't believe Bass Pro/Cabelas will let you put something in your cart that isn't 'In Stock'.
 
I ordered one from Cabela's this morning around 9, and received shipping confirmation shortly after 5 pm. Let's how long it takes to arrive.

What practical application did you get out of the labradar "downrange" readings?
Just seeing this now.

Rimfire and airgun velocity data - it was helpful to collect the actual velocities and calculate real ballistic coefficients. But it does miss velocities at distance sometimes and it takes a scrutinizing eye to trim out the bad data.

I suppose I could set one way out there but even one of my older optical chronographs gives me pause unless I’m on a range completely by myself.
 
Received the Garmin Xero C1 about an hour ago.
Not too bad: Ordered yesterday morning, and received today early afternoon, from Cabela's via FedEx. It was supposed to require signature, but the driver was back in the truck when I opened the door.
I will be testing tomorrow side by side with the Labradar.

Picked mine up today from Cabela's with 10% savings they had last week for ship to store. Turned it on when I went to do a job at the projects to see if it would pick up a stray round.:eek: Found out it pegs the radar detector in the car, may have another use to see people hitting their brakes when you turn it on while on the freeway. Anyways I tested it with the pellet rifle in the back yard when I got home and it picked up the shots with no trouble. Need to get out to the rifle range and do some more comparison with the Magnetospeed and optical. I am sure those will be backups after how easy this is to setup and use. Sinked to the phone app instantly without having to plug any cables in like with the others. Did have to plug into the computer to load update and register, but was quick and painless.IMG_3072.jpeg

How does it mount to the unit ? Does it have an arca mount to attach it to a tripod ?

1/4x20" hole on the bottom of the Xero, the same hole the OEM tripod uses.

I use the right hand arca clamp to attach it to the rifle. If I want to use it on the tripod, I'll just unscrew it from this plate and screw in the tripod.
 
Halleluiah! Just called Cabela's. They said my Garmin arrived at my local Cabela's this morning! I should receive an email from them today or tomorrow that it is ready for pickup.

So it should mount on any tripod with a 1/4x20" hole?
