I was curious about this new breakthrough, so I did some YouTubin as well. The real kicker for me was also discovering truckloads of LabRadar units suddenly for sale on virtually ALL buy and sell forums. Obviously, Garman has an absolute game changer on offer.
I want one to replace my Magnetospeed. The Garmin unit looks slick and the reviews suggest that it addresses the areas of LabRadar’s shortcomings.
I was never impressed with the labradar. I noticed the buy sells full of them before i knew about the garmin. Ill stick with my old faithful magnetospeed as its yet to let me down. The fact the garmin unit is so compact is probably a gamechanger. Area 419 has a slick arca adaptor to mount it to your rifle.
Ballistics AE,simply retired all (3) of my Chronographs.
I KNOW with good components,that ES/SD is going to be minute. Comeups are a quick/hasty DOPE confirmation,on a reticle and erector of repute. Nothing else makes a fuck to me.
It sooooooo fucks guys' heads up...................(grin)

Been using the same method myself, for a while now. Works good. I’m still gonna get one of the Garmin’s though…
I’ve taken my Garmin to the range a few times, now. It’s everything I’d hoped it would be - simple and reliable. Love it!
Yea, I’m excited about it as I just finalized flights and a place to stay!
Now if I can have some luck with the weather and the bears

Kids got me the Garmin for my birthday. It is awesome. Like Stick, I really wasn’t using a chrono much lately, but the Garmin makes it so easy, there’s no reason not to.

I like the ease of use and not missing shots, or having to dick with screens.
Hunts,
I like that little tripod that the Garmin is on. I do think that's the one thing I'm going to change about my Xero. I haven't had any issues with it getting knocked over, but the little tripod it comes with doesn't do much to inspire confidence.
What's the details on the tripod?

FWIW...I thought you guys might get a kick out of this...
Yesterday while I was at my local range, I stopped by the indoor benchrest building to talk with a friend of mine. He was doing some lot testing and we ended up talking for a few minutes.
He asked me if I had any of my rimfires with me and I told him I had on of my Vudoo’s with me. He asked me to get it because he wanted to see how it would shoot on one of their benchrest targets.
I’ve been trying to get him to order a Vudoo for years and thought it might be perfect timing. The Vudoo shot like it always does…great!
I had my Garmin Xero in my range bag, so I decided to set it up and show him that…because he needs one of those too!
Auto-Benchrest is popular at that range and just about every bench has a makeshift barrier to keep ejected rounds from hitting the shooter on the next bench.
After one of my shots, I got the reading below on the Garmin.
I had to laugh because the Garmin picked up a fired round after I ejected it and it ricocheted off the barrier. Check out the velocity of that piece of brass! This happened several more times, and all of them were within 10 FPS.
Look at the average FPS…that’s due to the brass !
One thing is for sure, Vudoo’s shoot really well…and they eject brass with authority!

And then there'd be the folks catching on quick and egging on the slow-witted to see how fast they could get THEM to eject cases as they got pisseder-offer.
FWIW...I didn't tell my buddy what was happening and he's beside himself trying to figure out why that lot of Lapua Polar Biathlon is sooo slow in my Vudoo.
