My Lab Radar is shipping yay!

The Lab Radar is awesome! I've had a chance to use it and now want one badly!

OP - Where did you order it from and how long did it take?

s>
 
Still waiting on mine. After playing with my shooting partner's MS for a week, this is definitely the way I want to go.
 
Let us know how it works.

Where did you get it and how much?

Ordered it for suppressor testing as there is alot of gear to set up and take readings from and reset ect .this will be a welcome addition. So tired of using chronographs and the MS can be finicky on suppressors although you can fabricate your own mounts but becomes a big PITA!

Of course I will also use it for personel load development and will test it at Uncle Swissinn's 1200m spot "The Farm" in a few days or so. I will let you know how it works so will Swissinn.

Price no comment! ;)
 
Glad to hear they are finally being shipped .
They have had a deposit from our club for a few months now and hope they ship soon.
A club member used one recently and was impressed with it.
With the accessories the total incl shipping and tax was $1008 .57

And I love farming .....grew up on one in Alta in fact ...lol
 
I bought one only to find downrange measurements only good to about 100yards and I need 2-300. eagerly waiting for my 2nd unit to arrive. They work great!! but like I said don't expect to get past 100 yards

I thought there is no way to place on down range yet? Unless your スマート half modified it to do so lol!
 
Can anyone tell me how far away the muzzle has to be for a reading, also can it be used by two shooters from both sides? I tried asking the lab radar guys that a while back and never did get a response. I'm very interested in this unit.
 
It can be set pretty closely to the muzzle, within a few inches or a couple feet from my experience. It should pick up 2 guns that are close to the unit if that is what you wanted. Or you can set the sensitivity of the device to not pick up other shooters that are close by.
It can be set to fire the radar when a shot is fired or it can be turned on for a predetermined amount of time, if a shot is not detected in that time the radar will go dormant again. If a shot is detected the timer will reset, it will continue to reset the timer and keep the radar "on" as long as you keep shooting inside the time limit.

The unit wants to know the weight of the projectile that is being shot, I am not entirely sure how picky it is about this. I saw it pick up and give accurate numbers on a 338 while it was programmed for a 700 grain (.50) projectile.

I was very impressed with the unit, it was great to just pick it up and set it down beside a gun on the line, take 2 seconds to roughly aim it at the target and start getting MV numbers. With this thing there is virtually no reason not to track your MV at almost every range session.
It had a decently sized memory capacity even without the SD card installed, you could go back to a string of fire and check all the data as you pleased. We had 27 different strings of fire on it, some with 15+ rounds per string, was easy to go back and check data if I wanted to.

I will say that it took me a little of playing with the unit to figure out the controls, but even without reading the instructions and a short brief from the owner of the unit I was able to fiddle my way through the options and have the unit up and running in under 20 mins the first time. After that it was maybe 2-3 mins from the time I took it out of the case until it was ready to collect data.

Long story short. I want one.
 
Thanks for the response, do you think the unit can read from 4-6 feet away? Be nice to have a bit of room between my friend and I, you know muzzle blast and all.
 
OP - congrats on getting yours. When did you send payment and get in the queue? I paid for mine in August and am wondering how much longer I will be waiting.
