Its happened twice on separate occasions. I'm on version 3.21. Haven't been out with it since the latest software update.

Well, that's what it did before, and if you don't catch it you will miss the next shot (like i did). If that is the "upgrade" it doesn't address the problem.It will now prompt you and you can cancel.
Sort of... You have yours sitting on a padded mat, as do I. The OK button is on the far left. When I press it, it has the effect of trying to tilt the unit by compressing the left leg into the mat, so using the same amount of pressing force on it results in some of it getting absorbed by the mat vs transferred directly to the button. Holding the Garmin solidly in my hand, the buttons all take the same amount of force, but sitting on a padded mat the OK button has to be pressed harder to overcome the compression/absorption of the mat. The buttons in the center don't have this issue because you're putting the force on the center of the unit and all three legs are supporting it evenly (less mat compression). The DOWN button on the far right probably behaves similarly to the OK button if you press it with the unit on the mat, but I haven't noticed that because I rarely press that button when the unit is on the mat recording shots.Got mine yesterday and took it to the range today. 66 shots and not a single unrecorded shot. But I did notice something. The OK button needs to be pressed much harder than the rest of the buttons for it to function. Anyone else has that issue or is that normal?
Thanks. Mine has the same issue even when when it's out of the tripod and in my hands. The OK button is definitely harder to press than the rest. Also the other buttons have a tactile/audible click when pressed but OK doesn't.Sort of... You have yours sitting on a padded mat, as do I. The OK button is on the far left.

Might want to start a warranty action if its that unusually hard to press.Got mine yesterday and took it to the range today. 66 shots and not a single unrecorded shot. But I did notice something.

Actually, I want to amend my statement in my last post. You made me realize he said "much harder", and I only read it as "harder". If it's really MUCH harder, then yes I'd initiate a warranty action.Might want to start a warranty action if its that unusually hard to press.

By the by, love your Vision chassis....just got one recently and will build a rifle on it. They are just wonderful.
At risk of hijacking this thread....eh, I'm about to burn the Proof SS barrel out on the Seekins Havak action gun. The Deviant/Bartlein rifle is still going strong and is what I had up at Mifflin last year.Building a new rifle...thought you were done
Session "Summary" shows Min, Max, Avg, ES, and SD all on one screen. Am I misunderstanding what you meant?Finally had a chance to get mine out to the range for the first time. I used it on both my Vudoo .22 and my 6GT. I ran 15 rounds through the 6GT and it failed to read one shot. When using it on the Vudoo, it registered two shots that were actually fail to fire rounds. It would register about 250 FPS for those two rounds. I don't think I've read anyone posting about that. Maybe I've missed it. It was rifle mounted for both rifles.
My only real complaint is that you can't have it read Min, Max, SD, ES and Average velocity on the same screen. I had to go into the settings to get. I would be happy to just have Min, Max, SD, and Average as I can easily calculate ES with those reading.
Send that remington into LRI: https://www.longriflesinc.com/products/group-buy-remington-m700-accurizing-barreling-coating-serviceWhen that happens, I'll send it in to Seekins for their free product improvement upgrade and will either sell it or build a deer rifle with it as I'm not happy with my late model Remington 5R SS Gen 2 (love those long names..sigh). I put a Jewel trigger in it and a KMW comb kit but the barrel sucks, in my limited opinion. I could rebarrel the 700 but the whole frakin' rifle only cost $1k.
I realize that, I'm speaking to the screen on the unit while taking shots.Session "Summary" shows Min, Max, Avg, ES, and SD all on one screen. Am I misunderstanding what you meant?
Of course, it won't do that when the session is actively recording shots - then it only reads the current shot and the shot number.
Does it answer?I realize that, I'm speaking to the screen on the unit while taking shots.
Q1 is over right? Anxiously waiting for the silicon cover. Otherwise hoping Pelican, Otterbox etc jump on this ship!
Take the median of the extreme spread from all combined groups. A side note, if temps are relatively consistent and all other load data is the same, avg velocity should remain relatively constant. However as sample size increases, the es will likely grow. If velocity continues to climb session after session there could be something else happening.Stupid question. I have been using Garmin for a few sessions now and have a stupid question. When taking the average speed for use in a calculator like Strelok Pro or Shooter do you average the muzzle velocity speed from each session or just use the most recent muzzle velocity average? So far I have been combining the average from each session and dividing by the number of sessions to getva muzzle velocity for the app. I do wish you could go back and add more shots to a previous session. Other than that I have no complaints about the Garmin.
Okay factory ammo will have some variations especially if not within the same lots.The temperatures were within 10 degrees of each other for the 4 sessions. I am only using factory ammo on this rifle at the moment.
Can a person USB to a laptop and pull the info direct off the garmin unit?Quick response...
Currently, if a session is synced from the Xero C1 to the ShotView app but then deleted from the app, it will not sync back to the app from the C1.
Thank you for choosing Garmin,
Steven

But do you reload? Serious bug smashers reload and do ladder tests and use tuners and whatnot.Just got in from vacation. Haven't had time to get to the range with it, but had to play with it. It clocked the salt from a freaking bug assault. It's a wild time to be alive.

Oh I get it. Sort of like 000 buck versus 00 buck. Ingenious! Bravo sir!Kosher, slightly bigger and heavier.
Yep, pretty much. I've heard cornmeal works great too. Gonna try that next.Oh I get it. Sort of like 000 buck versus 00 buck. Ingenious! Bravo sir!
Laser, Garmin 24GHZ Zero C1?Is anyone moving one of these around different setups? It seems like the laser would be off if they didn’t share the same height over bore. Is my understanding correct?
It doesn't use a laser. It's a Doppler chronograph.Is anyone moving one of these around different setups? It seems like the laser would be off if they didn’t share the same height over bore. Is my understanding correct?
