[peterdobson]

We tested the new Garmin XERO C1 Chronograph in the office today.

Test rifle was a Feinwerkbau P70 and pellets were H&N Diablo Sport .177.

Press PWR(Power) - Follow alignment diagram 1. Press New Session. 2. Select Mode 3. Follow on-screen instructions to enter projectile info. 4. OK

Shot Data: Chrono records each shot. You can press OK, and select DATA FIELDS to change the information displayed in each data field.

We only made 5 shots all of which were recorded. Session summary showed Max, Minimum, Average and Standard Deviation.

We will be using this as it is simple to use as well as compact and backed by Garmin.

Posting to site will be made after BOs are filled. We ordered a lot so you can call or email us for new orders.

a great new product is born

labradar goes broke in 1 year make my words
unless they retool and get their computer act together
coming from their regional background and corporate thoughts this will never happen as it has not happened on 5 years
say goodby labradar

I have had my Garmin Xero C1 for almost 2 weeks, taken it on several range trips, both bench and field, and there is no comparison, the Garmin has won hands down. Most significant differences...Garmin is approx 1/14 th the size/weight of the LABRADAR, setup is seconds rather than minutes, and was effortless to use, much simpler menu operation.The Garmin picks up 100% of .22LR rounds down range, even sub 800 fps (LABRADAR is finnicky with .22, required RAT, and even then was marginal), Garmin does not pick up other shooters rounds down range at the local Range. When I got my Garmin it looked approx 70% charged so I used it as was and in the several trips out in temps ranging between +5C and -3C it has gone down to approx 50% charge, have yet to charge it. Garmin seems much less sensitive with regards to orientation, approx 40 degrees grace in right left/up down alignment.
In summary...My LABRADAR is as good as it ever has been, however the Garmin Xero C1 is a superior product. I sold my LABRADAR less than 24 hrs ago for $530 shipped. I sincerely hope that LABRADAR as a corporate entity both survives and answers the call to compete, not just with Garmin...
