Thank you sirThe guys name is Greg Piet. There is a labradar owners group and there were some posts about it there.
If so, Do you need the air gun trigger adapter? I'm considering investing in this unit but I don't know if I'll need that adapter. I MOSTLY only shoot rimfire and I prefer it to be suppressed when I do.
I use my Labradar often with 22lr. I initially had issues with not picking up many shots but I now have it sorted out. I have both the air gun external mic and the recoil trigger neither of which I could get to work well. I ended up finding that the position of the unit vs muzzle was the missing link. I put it just off the side of the bullet path (like really close) and forward of the muzzle by a few inches. Works great as long as no one else is shooting around me.
Yes, 90% - 95% of them. I really haven’t spent the time to get the recoil trigger or the external microphone sorted out. Maybe I can have it be a bit more reliable with one of them. But honestly for my needs only dropping a few shots out of a 15-20 round string is all I need.By doing this does it pick up most of the shots?
You don't need the external mic or recoil trigger etc with the lab radar to pick up every shot with a .22lr even suppressed. Place the lab radar about 6" in front of the muzzle and a few inches to the side. Make sure to have the velocity set to pistol instead of rifle since .22 velocities are low. This position of the lab radar works for every type of gun I've ever tried up to 50 BMG. With the larger calibers I put it a bit further in front of the muzzle to make sure it doesn't catch any muzzle blast but maybe 12" at most.
Yes makes perfect sense and I agree that can be an issue in that scenario. The trigger is a great solution for that instance.That's not the problem. If other shooters are at the range, it sometimes picks up the sound of other gunfire and the device is triggered.
Then when it doesn't see a bullet come out of your rifle, you will get an error message or false reading.
That's why I got the trigger.
