[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2972226, member: 313"] I took the little Garmin with me on a trip to the [B]indoor[/B] range where rifles & pistols are fired. The range looks like most other indoor ranges with shallow partitions between shooters. This range has concrete walls without any sound deadening material. Muzzle blast bounces all over the place. We had 4 shooters in the section where I was shooting. I brought a H&K USP 40 and a S&W 629. The Garmin was just placed on the platform in front of me and pointed down range. I had no problem picking up every shot. The blast from the mighty 44mag cylinder didn't seem to adversely affect the Garmin at all. I did notice one thing that I didn't expect. All the heavy gunfire around me kept triggering the Garmin. I think it was probably blast bouncing off the walls that caused it but I'm not sure about that. The screen on the Garmin would get all squirrely like it was trying to determine the velocity, but it never did. It would take a few seconds for the unit to settle down again. I shot many 5 & 10 shot strings while the guys around me were banging away. I expected this scenario to cause problems with the shot string and summary. To my pleasant surprise, the Garmin seemed to be able to record all of my shots and ignore all the intermittent shots that caused the squirrely screens. Conclusion: The Garmin Xero worked 100% in an incredibly difficult environment. [/QUOTE]
