LabRadar and 22lr problems with readings

[Pbshooter]

I am having trouble with my labradar picking up 22 rimfire ammo fired from a rifle or handgun.
Has anyone had the same problem and how did you correct it.
Thanks for the help.

Change the setting from rifle to pistol

Buy the trigger kit.

a RAT recoil activated trigger might help

I get consistent results with the muzzle 6" to the side and 6" behind the Labradar, with it on Handgun/Pistol for the velocity range.
I did this yesterday with 400+ rounds of rimfire and picked up every shot.
Also, check your alignment to target. Some people have 3d printed sights, I lay a pen on the top in the V

Work well here also with Pistol set up.

There is a setting in the labradar, I just forget where but its about what triggers the system.

One is the radar and the other is the sound of the rifle, make sure it is set to the sound of the rifle and not the radar.

I had problems with mine as well until I figured that out.

Radar located 6" to side of bore, 6" in front of muzzle, set to 15cm offset in settings
Set to trigger level 1, normal trigger (not doppler)
Set to pistol speed

That works 98% of the time for me, even with subsonic ammo in 20" barrels.

Depends on the setup, a heavy .22 might not move enough to set it off.

Proper placement and settings are the solution, I've seen Labradars at plenty of .22 matches working reliably.

Thanks for all the input.
I have been using pistol setting with the trigger set at normal.
I have not tried having the unit 6" in front of muzzle.
Next range trip I will give it a go.
