For you pew pew purchasers…

How long did it take to get actual shipping date after label created notification?

Finally got my arrival date for tomorrow. Label created Friday and left Pew Pew last night.

Ordered Jan 2, 2024 got it yesterday (Jan 23rd) from Garmin....

Can't wait to try it out!

 

[Marbles]

Well, they are not a fan of cold (most electronics are not).

My range conditions today



I got 32 shots in, then the Garmin flashed message that read something like "internal temp nearing critical" and shut off.

In all fairness, the LCD screen on my Kestrel was freezing up.

The one I ordered from front range gun dog last week showed up today, not sure if they still have any left

Yes, we just received 60 units.

This is one of those situations where profanity should be allowed.

**** the lab radar!

how are you guys finding the speeds compare to the magnato? i have seen reports that the garmins is slightly slower pretty consistently.

Yeah, but only 2-5 fps. That is mostly due to the fact that the Magnetospeed is right at the end of your barrel and the Garmin is picking up the shot a few feet from the muzzle.

If 2-5 fps is enough for you to continue to have to continually f-around with keeping the Magneto tight around your barrel/suppressor, the wired connection, and no bluetooth, then don't make the switch.

i have the garmin. I was just wondering. Its been flawless, some stuff just slower than expected....

 

[ljalberta]

I had the MS sporter and now the Garmin. I never did a same-time head to head. But have noticed the Garmin reporting speeds about 20-30 fps slower. Based on previous trueing, the speeds from the Garmin are more accurate.

I tried to find the answer here and elsewhere.

Can a session be paused/ended and the restarted later on?

I.e. can I shoot 10 500gr arrows, switch sessions and shoot 400grain arrows 100x, then go back to the 500gr arrow session a week later and shoot 100x for a total of 110 500gr arrows' worth of data?

Nope, not that I’ve found.

Is the data easily downloaded to the app or a computer so the data can be combined in those locations?

I borrowed @Ucsdryder 's for a week and liked it, but did not download the app. I had read various places that what I am asking about wasn't possible on the unit. At the same time @TheViking stopped by and thought it was possible on the app itself.

It would be nice if within the app there was a data set (session) I could label Kyle's 30-06 180berger, and add data to it anytime. Then also have a data set Cindy's 7-08 145barnes and add to that anytime. Whether it's months apart or just at the range taking turns.

 

[ljalberta]

I haven’t found a way to stop and restart sessions later even in the app. Maybe that will come later, but it does not appear possible right now.

You can export sessions as a CSV. I tried to attach one here as an example, but it wouldn’t let me.

No dice on merging or continuing sessions as far as I can tell at this point.

You can export to Excel and manipulate there on your computer. It’s easy if your loads are different enough to see which group is which.

If you're shooting loads with similar velocities then it’s really up your record keeping to keep it all straight.

The lack of start/stop sessions is Garmin’s biggest drawback, and I suspect they’ll fix that in a software update

Edit: Bjorn16 pointed out you can name sessions — I forgot about that.

In the iPhone app, you can rename the session to keep everything “straight” as well as add bullet weight after you have ended the session on the Garmin.

I have merged several sessions into Excel by exporting the csv

I totally forgot about that. You’re right.

I love mine. I have used it for both archery and rifle. My only complaint, which others may love, is that I don't need fps to the 10th. Just give me whole numbers.

I did not wait and ordered mine today.

 

[MtnW]

Love mine. One of the best products to come along in quite sometime for anyone into shooting/hand loading . Started with a Oehler 35P which was a excellent chronograph and used it for 25 years. Some of the ranges I used were public and didn’t allow down range sky screens. Went to a LabRadar and used it one time, what a hassle to set up and use. A year later after purchasing the LabRadar the Garmin became available and I couldn’t get rid of the LabRadar fast enough. It takes me all of two minutes to have the Garmin set up and running.
