Here you go boys and girls! Doppler radar for measuring velocity.

[Why not?]

Not of hockey pucks or baseballs, but bullets!

"LabRadar is the world’s newest technology in obtaining projectile velocities of Rifles, Shotguns, Handguns, Pellet Guns, BB Guns, Bow & Arrows, Crossbows.

Doppler Radar is the most precise method of measuring velocities available. Its accuracy is not dependant on light conditions or being exactly parallel to photo electric sensors resulting in false readings.

No shooting through a small confined area.
No dealing with optimal lighting conditions."

Will be nice if it's not too expensive.

Apparently around $500.

Hopefully it will come down in price like any other electronic wizardry.

I don't think $ 500 is too bad, how much does an Oehler chronograph cost ?
I'm interested to see just how small a bullet this device will measure accurately, will it handle minimum .17 cal for instance ?
According to the website it will measure 7.62 (.308 ) but will it work for smaller ?

They were still a bit vague on details at SHOT......interesting concept though.

Hey Ted, if its too expensive for us, maybe we can borrow Doug's. Anyway, I gave them my email address, we'll see what happens. Maybe the Ohler is on its way to retirement.
