Labradar and Gamin owners

[Weldor]

Can anyone tell after using both that there is a advantage one over the other, besides size? Just curious. I have used the Labradar a few times worked just fine, have not had a chance to use the Garmin yet.

Garmin all the way. Hated my Labradar- missed shots despite the external recoil trigger and all the other tricks. The app was terrible as well.

The Garmin has ran without a hiccup since day 1.

Had both. Not even close, the garmin is light years ahead. Horse drawn carriage vs a Toyota tundra. They both have wheels and get you from point a to b…other than that they have nothing in common.

I have the labradar with bluetooth and the garmin. The labradar isn't as easy to set up, but I have had great results with it. I prefer the garmin simply over size and setup alone. I'm probably going to sell my Labradar because I don't use it anymore. If you want to save some cheese get a labradar with bluetooth.

As mentioned…..no comparison. Garmin removes the “sensitivity” factor with my muzzleloader and certain rifles. Garmin measures every shot, 99% of the time (I have had no misses yet)……Labradar was like 85% rifle and 40% with my ML.

I think the only real comparison would be the new labradar lx.

I haven’t used one but I’d still stick with the Garmin just because labradar should’ve released the LX years ago and missed the boat. My Garmin has been fantastic.

The old labradar is a dinosaur and was notorious for being a pain to set up and missing shots.

Garmin is way more compact and reliable.

Labradar is very affordable now and will be useful to measure the MV down range, in case you need to calculate BC.

I sold my lab radar.

The Garmin is a much better, easier, more user friendly unit.

Owned both. I prefer the Garmin for all the reasons mentioned above. Sold the Labradar and do not miss it.

One thing I had in the Labradar that the Garmin doesn't, the ability to report velocity at distances.
When the ballistic calculators were not matching that was happening on paper at distances, I used the velocities the Labradar recorded to correct the calculators.

However, I don't regret getting rid of the Labradar. Garmin app is stable, device doesn't care if I'm shooting suppressed, and doesn't require an additional external trigger.

Labradar also released its compact version. Wondering how does that work compared to Garmin
