They plugged in and did something but I have not been out to shoot since that happened.I have some powder coming tomorrow and have to be here for that so I can't go tomorrow morning.As soon as I can go I will report. Edit to add it was working very well be fore the update.I went out 4 different...

Sunday evening I went to charge my Garmin watch and got a message there was an update for my Gamin Chronograph and so I did the update. This morning I went to the range and set up to shoot and the Garmin did NOT pick up a single shot! I have a message going to Garmin now and will see what they say.

When I lived in the south and traveled to the northwest to hunt elk and mule deer at first I used Nosler Partition but at one time they became hard to find so I switched to Nosler Accubond 180 gr 30 cal bullets and have never gone back to Partitions.Never recovered an Accubond,all pass through's...

For the past 2 years I have not shot as much as I wanted due to health problems but I have tested some. In my rifle,my loads and Lapua brass I found using a mandrell made very little to no difference in group sizes but with Hornady brass it did make a difference.I took a ball mic and checked the...

For many years I used a Chrony and built a dope card on the info the Chrony gave me for velocity. The Chrony LIED like a rug!I had to throw out all my previous load workup as it was inaccurate. This year I am re-starting load work up and know the Garmin will tell me the truth.Wasted many years...

Several years ago my wife worked as a Pharmacy Tech and was getting ready for work,sneezed and had a bad nose bleed that would not stop.I took her to the ER and they did the caurterazing thing also,twice!Went home and called into work and they said to stay home and try not to sneeze. Seems it...

I have a self imposed limit of 600 yards.I went a tad over that a few years back and took a nice muley but I too would love to have more distance. Thats why I have not pulled the trigger yet. But I don't like a 56 mm objective either.34mm tube would be nice.I may need to make a comprimise and go...

Trying to decide between the Burris Veracity and Trijicon Tenmile scope.The Tenmile is about 600.00 more but it's a scope I know will work and I don't know anything about the Burris.Still trying to decide...

I have had 1 Leupold scopes go bad in all my years of using them but when you hear how it got damaged you will understand. Hunting Colorado with friends in the early 1980's and walked on a high mountain side.Walked to the edge to look over the side and didn't know the bank was undercut from...

Welcome.

The last time I went to the range I had to wait until a fellow shooter set his labradar up.He noticed my Garmin and said he was going to get one as soon as they come down in price but had too much in Labradar to jump ship on it right now. Took him forever to set up correctly.But I have to say...

Who is LR? Never mind,I get it.Labradar. Thanks

Looks good!

Been eyeing them for a while now.Good to hear positive reviews. Burris does have a good warnety I am told.

I sure have learned a lot!Thanks to all that have informed us with backable data.
