Garmin Xero C1: new chronograph

[hereinaz]

Anyone else seen that Garmin is releasing a new chronograph this week? The app is already available.

I have seen a few reviews that it is super easy to use, even holding it while standing behind the shooter. I have one on order and hoping to get it in early November. I'll be posting up a review when I get it.

Gonna replace my magnetospeed with it.

I’ve been watching it and thinking about doing the same as well so I can get data without worrying about poi shift.

My hangup with the labradar (haven’t used one) is the common complaints about difficulty of aiming and getting them to catch shots. If these garmin units work as well as they are hyped up to, I’ll likely make the switch from the v3.

 

[hereinaz]

Most complaints about the Labradar are user error, IMO. I ran one for a year in most all the conditions people complained about.

Radar is easier than Magnetospeed, but the difference isn’t huge.I was doing less shooting so I sold it and went with the Magnetospeed for the last few years.

The Xero is priced right and sounds better than both. I shot my bayonet like an idiot, so I already needed to drop a couple hundred…

Not saying that this product exists.. But if it did, and i had some experience with it and the Shotview app I would likely post something on the day they became available. I would probably have a limited number of said product available too.

In my experience with their marine products, if they bring something to market, it's normally pretty solid. I've purchased some of their high end freshwater equipment and it's generally solid. If there are problems, it's some of the best customer service I've experienced. If my budget allowed, I would be all over this.

I'm planning on picking one up to replace my magnetospeed just to avoid POI shifts and save me some time. From what I can tell it should be releasing tomorrow the 19th.

If this product did exist... is there some way one could preorder one of your limited number?

You can all thank me. I plunked down $$$ on a labradar so of course the next best thing gets released.

I'm also taking credit for the Rokstock since as soon as I bought the VG stockys committed to fast track the new design.

PM for Venmo donations and what you'd like me to buy next to spur new products.

 

[hereinaz]

Sounds like a call to S&S would be fruitful…

I already hypothetically talked with a different hypothetical vendor about the possibility, otherwise I would maybe call.

If I thought there was anything to the rumors.

I'd give me a call in the morning.

Just ordered one from your website! Really looking forward to the portability of this over the labradar.

Looks like my labradar may be for sale!

Congrats! You may have gotten the last one, says sold out.

Thanks for the support guys.. Those went way faster than i expected. I did get the opportunity to use one last weekend.. Tested multiple rounds on multiple guns. Even tested my buddies 6.5cr with a can and without. Super easy to use, and the app makes it easy to organize.

I am expecting quite a few more in early November. And you can expect a full review and some video content in the next couple weeks.

They appear to be in stock on Garmin's website and Area419 if anyone is looking. I want one but it will have to wait til spring.

In stock at Scheels as well

@hereinaz @S&S Archery (Rob)

I've used a magneto speed to this point, so I've never worried about the Shooter App input for "distance from chronograph". I assumed that was needed for a lab radar, which as I understood it, measured velocity some distance beyond the muzzle. What is the appropriate distance from chronograph measurement for this Garmin?

 

[shtrbc]

Scheel's has them on the shelf.

I never used that feature in LR when I had it. I usually had the end of my suppressor within 12 inches of my LR, so I didn't pay attention at all.

Looks like the Garmin will be easier to set up and capture the bullet.
