    The Garmin Xero Pro is my fifth chronograph, and the top in price but the smallest in size. I can't wait to put it to work. Truly a fantastic piece!

      The Garmin Xero C1 Pro is my 4th chronograph, after the Shooting Chrony, ProChrono, and the Caldwell. It is so nice to not have to go in front of the firing line with other shooters waiting to have one align the unit with the shooting position and the target. Also, very nice to not have to repeat the mantra, "Don't shoot the chronograph!" over and over. I hit a small burble with transferring the data to a spreadsheet as the numbers came over as text. I had to massage them a bit to be able to run math functions. But ... all things considered, I am really happy with the performance.

    Don't forget to mention if you add garmin chrono directly to ur rifle it voids warranty , it states on their warranty website , it was not tested for recoil , I bet its safe for low recoiling rifles , but on their website it states it wa not tested and will void warranty if not used as designed ( tripod)

      Hi Jason. The sad part here is that Joshua Chapman, the owner of CFT was killed in a head on collision just the other day when two teenagers came across the centerline (initial reports). From what Rich told me, Joshua was a good guy, who, when the machining business he owned started to slow down, decided to go into the firearms business and was building a name for himself and his company. He leaves behind 2 children and a wife. A sad ending for this man and his family.

    The evolution of technology is advancing at such a rate I have to wonder how many shooters on limited budgets are hesitant to ever buy new gear like this because using Lab Radar as an example, there's always a new better cheaper gadget around the corner. I think the Garmin will be a huge hit in the PRS community. As more and more companies listen to customer demands new products will be competing hard to meet them in order to survive the market place. This product is a going to be a hot seller for sure in 2024 as word gets out more.

    • @The4GunGuy
      @The4GunGuy  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Rimfire! Yeah, I really do think this has changed the chronograph game. I did a video on the good, bad and ugly of 2022 last year and some of those bad products just shocked me at how little QA/QC went into them, or even basic design considerations. I hope these companies learn. Thanks for watching my friend!

    Thanks for the test using both the Magneto and Garmin. Agree that the Magneto is also great, but this takes it to another level. Garmin + Magneto + Chrony Pro will be my tests tomorrow, just for fun. Question- Can you add shots to a "session" after moving to another session which would allow round robin shooting of multiple loads at different targets? I have not found a way to do this yet and nobody mentions it in their YT vids. Y'all DO do load development and are familiar with round robin shooting, right?

    Let's be honest on the price of a labradar, midway USA was selling them for 624.99 but now they are 499.99 none of those prices are close to 1000.00. I own all three of these chronographs and they each have there place. I agree with you on the significant improvements with the Garmin, I only have around 100 shots with it so far so good. That being said I have around 2000 with the labradar with no complaints other than its size.

      Hi Red! I totally agree with you here. Look, each has its place as you say, and as Rich and I discussed in the video, they'll each do what we need done. It's the compactness, ease of use and different mounting options to me that set the Garmin apart. To each his own I say! Thanks for watching my friend!

    Not sure the Magnetospeed can keep up with the Garmin. Where i see the benefit of the Garmin over the Magneto is with trying to get speeds on my gas guns. I dont have enough area between the brake and the handguard for the bayonet to fit on the barrel, using the Magnetospeed. Nice job Garmin!

    The only thing stopping me from buying one is the plastic casing around the guts. For $699 Garmin could have ponied up and gone with a nice strong metal case around the guts. One drop from the bench (this thing is a featherweight) and it could be curtains for the unit. If they ever put it in a proper housing, I'd consider one. I've seen a bunch of side by side testing v the mono Lab Radar and the big LR. The Garmin clearly holds its own and has the best display out of all of them IMHO. The plastic housing though, for me at least was a big miss. Just one more opinion

    • @The4GunGuy
      @The4GunGuy  26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi TheRange7! I totally understand where you're coming from. I've used mine steadily (probably at least 100 times now) and have knocked it off a shooting bench onto a concrete floor about 5 times with no issues. I was thinking of buying a protective cover that some sell, but, I don't treat it too badly (unless I drop it off a bench!), so haven't. I also attach it to an ARCA clamp and then to my rifles since my comp rifles have ARCA rails. NOW, Gamin will say that voids the warranty, so I'd deny ever telling you this!

      Hi Aldo! Let's see, you could use the LR as a base on a baseball diamond, put it on a shelf as a reminder of what complacency looks like, or sell it and get what you can for it. As I said in the video, I would have loved to be in the leadership meeting at LR when this thing came out and their sales dwindled in one week. I really don't wish the LR team any harm, it's just that I'm betting they were very proud of their market ownership and just didn't listen to anyone. Thanks for watching my friend!

      @@Aldocello1 Yeah, the challenge for Lab Radar is that once guys like me buy something, we generally stick with it until a real game changer comes along. Garmin already changed the game, so the best LR can do in my opinion is come out with a similar device for say 1/2 to 2/3 of the cost to snag the newer shooters. As you said, might be too little too late.

    Would like more on trueing data. I understand how and have trued at one environmental setting, but how do you adjust for different environmental conditions. Kestrel allows a speed vs temp scale. Do you have to true those speeds at each temp as well?

    • @The4GunGuy
      @The4GunGuy  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Fish! Great question and I'm working on that video right now coincidently...Hoping to have it out before Christmas. MY basic answer is it depends on whether you're using a temp stable powder or not. I use H4350 for my 6.5 Creedmoor and H4895 for my 6mm BRA, so using very temp stable powders like those, I don't need to adjust much if any for temp differences. I did a video on changing powders where I provide some numerical analysis against different velocities, look that one up. Thanks for watching my friend!

    Just curious, I’ve got the new Garmin and I’m curious if anyone has a very easy simple to use app to where I can use the information from the Garmin and chart the velocities without actually manually entering in each velocity numbers, I seen a couple apps but couldn’t figure them out…

    • @The4GunGuy
      @The4GunGuy  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi ShootingCenter! You can go to developer.garmin.com/fit/fitcsvtool/windows/ and read about the conversion from the .fit file to .csv, then you can bring into Excel and chart the data. Try just changing the file extension first from .fit to .csv and see if that works...I think that's what I did when I was fooling around with the .fit files generated by the xero. Hope this at least gives you a start. Thanks for watching my friend!

Now, that is THIS barrel of course, but I run all my rifles slower than normal to extend barrel life more than anything.

      I think he’s stating that it doesn’t track velocities incrementally down range like LR. You could possibly place it down range and shoot into radar from there for down range velocity. That would obviously be limited to a range where that’s possible.
      Possibly the only cons to the Garmin would be no down range velocities and a non replaceable battery? Pretty much non issues for most of us in my mind tho.

      Hi Snakeman! Yep, I heard they had been working on it for a while, but now as you say, late to the game. I spoke with some of my buddies who had friends testing the Garmin...They could only test when no one else was around and some even camouflaged the Garmin as a power pack and used a LabRadar as a prop so others would think the shooter was just using a LabRadar. Crazy stuff, but it paid off for Garmin! Thanks for watching my friend!

    I haven’t run across this yet, but will the Garmin pickup a flintlock rifle shooting patched roundballs or Maxi balls?

      Good question Doug! My thought is that it may pick up the wadding as well and give false readings. Thanks for watching my friend!

    If you have a Kestrel, and "walk out" to the distances you're shooting, I would argue that you don't need a chronograph because you are more than likely going to tweak that chrono data anyway...

      Hi Michael! You just defined one of the videos I'm working on! I totally agree that if you didn't have access to a chrono, you can still true your DOPE and be fine. I think one good benefit from having a chrono is when you've changed lots in powder for example and you want to validate velocity, but honestly you could still not use chrono even for that. Thanks for watching my friend!
