Caldwell Velociradar vs. Garmin Xero

[rustyinbend]

Velociradar shows available and ready to buy on the Caldwell site for $499 with free shipping. Decided to order one, even though I love the simplicity and super-small form-factor of my Garmin Xero. If this Caldwell gadget is able to provide multiple programmable down-range drops, velocities, and accurate BC's, that data for me could be a game-changer. I'll let y'all know whether I love it or hate it. Being a "Gadget Guy" ... I just couldn't stop myself.

Thanks for being the tester on this. Looking forward to your reports……

Let us know how stable it is on that tripod. I've seen too many Labradar's tip over like a windsail and I think this Velociradar has a potential to do it too since that that tripod looks so small.

If you have a 12ga, can you see if it's able to measure non-slug shotshell velocities (#7.5, #8, etc.)? It advertises shotgun compatibility but I got a feeling it's slugs only.

I believe the BC's are captured within 100yds which probably aren't very useful depending on what you're doing. Looks like it still needs a trigger and to be pointed properly. I'd be happy to be wrong, but this seems like too little too late.
