While it may not apply to most folks needs, I was recently able to use my Labradar to chrono all shots taken at targets every 100yds out to 1200yds. That helped initially to make the right calls on that day with that weather at that location and then confirmed or eliminated MV as a factor in missed shots.

Given that all the targets were at different angles at this range/cattle farm, it would have taken two people a fair amount of time to do that with an optical chrono. That just isn't practical with any other than perhaps the initial test shots. And a MagnetoSpeed would have impacted POI and most likely group size.
