I was going to use my LabRadar this past Saturday and a friend threw his Garmin to me and said to try it. Easiest thing in the world to use, I'm sold.

Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

Used my Xero for the first time yesterday... All I can say is WOW! The Xero is brilliant. Easy to use, and easy to set up. I stood behind my dad holding the Xero while he shoot ten shots standing. I recorded every shot.
Coming from the LabRadar, it's a huge improvement. The LR worked but was finicky and fussy. The Xero is simple and easy.

Hawkins Heavy one piece mount, 1.27” 34mm in gold anodizing. They did a limited run of colored mounts back in August I believe it was.
Got mine from GAP during their black friday sale (thanks for the great deal) and used it last weekend. Honestly this has to be one of the coolest pieces of tech that I've used in a long time. So incredibly simple to use. I'm really excited to see if/how the UI changes over time in the app and the device itself as it gets use and feedback from users gets to Garmin.
Even helped a couple random guys at the range get some data. Set it down next to them, let them shoot, then just had them type their cell # in and texted them the CSV file.
I would love to see Garmin make something to compete with Kestrels.

They do. The Garmin 901. It does not gather wind data, but TBH, I hardly ever use my kestrel to gather wind, unless it's really blowing.
I got in on the same deal. I was in no hurry but I’m going to take some time off the week before Christmas and plan to do some shooting. It would be really nice to have by then.
In addition to my iphone I connected my iPad to the xero today. Unfortunately it doesn't sync the data that is in both the xero and my phone.
I tried everything.
Here’s to hoping for an update…. Not holding my breath though. Hoping to get out tomorrow to put the Garmin through its paces.
My first session this morning. CZ457 .22 caliber suppressed with Wolf Match Extra ammunition. One shot out of 20 was dropped. Looking at the time recorded I think it would have been the 3rd shot. The Xero is a pretty neat tool. So easy to set up and use.
sportsmans guide has them backordered until 1/10 but you can get 50$ off with SG4541I’m still trying to find a deal
I got my new Xero out today for the first time. Took it to an NRA Small Bore Silhouette match that we started at 28* and finished at 40*. Everything worked great.
These new units look amazing! Definitely on my wish-list. My ol magneto-speed may be living on borrowed time!

I've been seeing and hearing of a lot of Magneto Speeds and Lab Radar's going up on the second hand market. This device is making waves. Big ones.
Thanks! She’s an oldie but a goodie
. Marlin ‘39 built in the 1920’s. Came home with a second place AA shooter with 41/60 hits. Missed getting a 15 Pig by an inch. Hit the Silhouette but only turned it instead of making it fall. 2 minute string with 60 seconds between each string, 3 per yardage. No problem with transferring the chronograph between positions. No other shooters shot recorded. And plenty of battery left at the end of the match.They have had that out for a while now before these, it's called the approach. Link Here
My father has one and swings into a net in his basement for winter practice. I have used it a few times and it is awesome.
Curious if pewpewsolutions came through for those that ordered from them? I recalled some questioning their legitimacy.
I bought a Garmin Chrony from them when they had them discounted by $120. Placed the order on the 25th of Oct. They immediately billed my CC and I waited. Contacted them a couple of weeks later after no shipment and was told that it would be the first of Dec before they would ship. Then it became the last of Dec. or possibly January.
Contacted Josh today and he said I was way down in the que for delivery and I asked about the original date of the first part of Dec. and got the "I'm working as fast as I can". BTW, this was all email jibber jabber.
He apparently didn't like my demeanor cause he unilaterally cancelled my order.
So while I have no emperical data to question the business's legitimacy, I am a bit miffed because I could have bought one 6 weeks ago and avoided the hassle.
Draw your own conclusions.

I was pissed I missed out on his discount code - thanks for making me feel better!
That’s unfortunate. I’ve seen this shit before. When a new product comes out and the interest is high, bunch of stores pop up all of a sudden. I have zero knowledge of pewpew whatever but that sucks. Again I have zero knowledge of this store or how long they’ve been around. At this point F preorders.
Mine just shipped today, figured it would ship later so was a nice surprise.
Good reminder that there are always 2 sides to interactions.
I'm glad pew replied. However, he DIDN'T include ALL the email messages, kinda cherry picked from the last one's. You can do business with him, as a matter of fact I encourage it. From what I understand I'm not the only (ex) customer that's voiced an opinion about his "attention" to business.
I'm not worried about my refund, I'll get it back one way or another.

Just something to keep in mind.
Credit card companies and processors are setup to process charges almost instantly.
A credit to your credit card could take 3 to 5 business days to show up after the merchant processes it, depending on the bank and payment processor. Normally it's much faster, but it can take a bit.
If you are really itchy about a refund, you'd need to call Customer Service (after at least a day) for your card and see if they show a pending credit that has not yet been processed.
Your reply is noted. However it seems a bit untimely since I expressed that I have confirmation of a refund.
That’s literally how it works. It takes some time to process at each party. You have serious confirmation bias and paranoia.
Just got a notification from EO that they have it in stock. If any of you all is still looking.

Thank you for the free medical diagnosis. Actually I have a deep seated hatred for incompetence and unethical businesses and no tolerance for "gamesmanship"; that's the cleanest word I could use.
Screw with me once, there's NEVER a second chance. I learned my lesson.

AND; Psychology is a subset of Medicine, not Voodoo. I spent 45 years in Medicine, how many years have you been in the Art? I'll answer for you, NONE. Now leave me alone I've got a 100 6 ARC to load.
Got "mine" a week ago. Went straight down into the basement. Grabbed and old air rifle, pumped out 5 shots, and got 5 values. I think it tells it all. What a performer. Had it on the range last Saturday, and there was several shooters wanting one.
The Garmin Boys have tried to make language packs with the Xero C1 with their left hand. Since I'm good in programming I ripped the Norwegian translation and created a "new" version that's working... Besides that, I'm impressed. Will check next Saturday how accurate two of those are, I plan to measure BC with two units in the future.

Hey, happy for ya, now go buy a lotto ticket you're one of the lucky ones.

I got mine from Hoyt due to a nice member sending me a pm after I had my order canceled from scheels.
Here is another archery place that shows stock, Hoyt is out.

Little bit of an update and maybe others have seen this with 22 long rifle.
Ammo, CCI Standard Velovity, 40g, advertised 1040 fps. elevation ~3200 feet, Temp 28*-40* F, 60 Shots, stock marlin 39
I love how easy it was to use and would resume after the gap of two relays and never miss a shot. Not sure what was up with #60 since I fired one too quick in the first bank of animals.

Been using Xero and I've got several readings where the velocity is abnormally low. Wasn't sure if it's the Xero or the shot itself. They were all on air rifle pellet readings and always seem to happen after a change in ammo or first use or use after a long break. The impact didn't seem to be out of ordinary though. Granted some of these were shot in very short distance, about the minimum distance the Xero says you need.
