Labradar LX - I guess they have an answer for the Garmin Zero. Maybe?

[lyotehunter]

1. I see an aiming device on top. That's not a good sign.

2. I wonder if this is a working model or if they "threw" something together to announce since their sales are probably down 100%.

"Made in North America". What the heck does that mean??

Canada not china

Mike If you have the link to the video, please post. I'd like to see it.

Here you go Tim.

Wonder how long they have been sitting on that. Harmon has created healthy competition for sure. It has forced the market forward

Thanks

Buck

Right question Buck!!!!! Now we need to wait for the reviews.....Garmin knocked the HELLLO out of the original LR!

I am glad Garmin came out with their chronograph I will keep mine. Labradar appears to have rested on their laurel's too long. Hopefully the LabRadar lighter and smaller entry will bring more innovation and lower the price.

Its OKAY TO SAY: MADE IN CANADA!!!!

 

[skipglo]

At scrap prices.

Or less!

 

[skipglo]

Not made in the USA…if that matters and probably Mexico.

Canada!

Exactly. I feel like they're trying to be sneaky. Why put "made in NA". Just put "made in Canada"

"Made in the western hemisphere"

I have Garmin and really like it. I will say this, the temperature range that Garmin says it will operate in, is probably spot on. I used it yesterday in 16F, which is two degrees above the min of 14F Garmin lists in the manual. For 45 minutes of use, it drained a little more than I expected. It probably also didn't help that after my first shot, it told me an update was available.
I'm still happy with it though. It is not my Magneetospeed Sporter that I had to retighten on the barrel every 2-3 shots on most of my rifles.

Here you go Tim.

Thank you Mike! Great Info!

Now, for sure, this makes Garmin look even better if you can get downrange velocity to True BC.

True, the LR can do it from the bench w/o any danger of a bullet hitting the unit, but I was really surprised it worked.

Only question is, how far over or to the side was he shooting? How close to the unit to get it to work?

That's the 600 dollar question right there!

Both could be $600 Questions...

 

[Coyote Shadow Tracker]

Just a question. Why would you want to physically move your Chronograph from shooting station up to100 yds to get the velocity and walk back and forth when a Dopler Chronograph (Labradar) can do that from positioning it next to you shooting platform?

Yes, that is true. Hoping Garmin will fix this with a firmware update.

Sure like convenience and ease of use on Garmin. Now can get BC true w some extra leg work.....
Think I might still prefer Garmin unless truing BC ectensively all the time.
