Can anyone feedback on the Labradar Chronograph unit please?

Very good IMHO. Only miner issues are that it has to be "aimed" at the target. (There is a signal strength indication to show how well you have done this) However it either gives correct speed or nothing. The unit needs to be positioned close to the end of the barrel to pick up the sound of firing. The microphones are deliberately insensitive so that the guy next door doesn't set your labrador off. Mic sensitivity is adjustable within limits. Basically if it does nothing then it didn't pick up the sound wave. If it fails to track because it is not aimed properly then it tells you.

Once you get the hang of it then it works perfectly.

That's great feedback. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Have you compared the accuracy against another Chronograph?

 

Many thanks

I compared a Labradar with my Magnetospeed last week - slight variation but only single figure.

Agreed. I compared mine with magnetospeed and found <5fps differences. It does eat batteries however and I would recommend getting a power pack to run it. It has a sleep mode to save power which turns off the signal if you don't shoot. This can be a pain if you don't notice. With a power pack you can extend this time so that it doesn't catch you out!

Thank you guys.
