Mine records great. Don't understand all the hate towards Labradar maybe I got lucky or theres some user error.

I think the relatively narrow beam cone requires us to align it with a greater accuracy than some have patience for. If from the factory, it would have included something to allow easier alignment, there’d be a lot fewer people having missed shots.

Does anybody know what the downrange mode is supposed to do?

Sorry if this is a repost but I didn't see an explanation of what downrange mode does.

<< post from Garmin on SnipersHide: >>
Last week we released v3.30 for the Xero C1 chronograph. While adding some new functionality to simplify gathering data downrange, we introduced a bug that caused shots to be missed.

We have resolved the issue and a new version of software, v3.32 has been released today. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The new Downrange Mode in the Pro Settings can be used to verify or determine a true long range BC. By placing a second unit downrange (ex. 300 yards) and getting the velocity downrange as well as at the muzzle you can use your ballistic calculator to vary the BC until you find a match for the velocities at the distance you used. Downrange Mode will cause the display of the unit to flash black/white when it records a shot so you can more easily tell when the downrange unit has detected the shot.

You quote anywhere I said a Labradar was better and I will apologize.
If your interpretation of " if its not broke why fix it" is my Labradar is better well your 100% off base. I'm guessing you were '"assuming'" that's what I meant.
 
I used mine for the first time yesterday since buying it 3 months ago. I didn't pair it with my phone since I didn't know if the upgraded software was actually working yet. That part aside, I absolutely LOVE this little gadget! It's a no brainer compared to my old Chrony Beta Master.
