I did some testing today on Quantico's Range 4. It's always a 1,000yd day on Sunday, but I wanted to try the Garmins against the Labradar. Unfortunately, I only captured one shot on the LR, which is the problem and why I looked forward to testing the new Garmin doppler chrono (in fairness, I only tried aligning the LR a couple of times before I just went back to shooting). I shot 10rds of factory Hornady 225gr ELD-Ms unsuppressed and then suppressed with a TBAC Ultra 338. I also chrono'd 3 other rifles on the line, there were no missed shots for 30-06, 6.5 and .223 rifles, as well as my 300PRC.
The Xero C1 Pro is simply a game changer. It was the discussion point for everyone one the line and I hope I helped sell a few more units as shooters were so impressed with the size, ease of use and reliability of the unit.
ETA - A couple of suggestions for
@Garmin:
- Increase the brightness of the unit
- Add a sequential number to the history in the session summary on the device. Even though the latest session appears at the top of the summary (and has a timestamp in the app), it will become confusing when multiple entries are saved when not using the app.
ETA II - F' daylight savings time, geeeeeezeus, it's 5:30pm and dark...
I positioned the two units to the left and right of my AXMC in 300PRC with a TBAC brake.
I repeated the testing with the TBAC Ultra 338 suppressor, which added some distance back to the units.
The results:
We were shooting steel from 637yds to 1,000yds.
