Thanks for taking the time to give us your take on the Garmin, it sounds interesting. Its size, battery life & easy of operation sounds good.
I've had my LabRadar for about a year now & while I'd like to see them make some improvements to it I guess I'll be sticking with it until it breaks, considering its investment.
The LabRadar's SDHC card probably seems old school but I find it handy to just plug it in my desktop PC, save its CSV files to the PC & then import them into Excel to a format of my choosing, with or without graphs (see below).
Being able to readily visualize & compare data means everything to me in having such a device.
Hopefully Garmin will see fit to add better PC compatibility to the Xero in the future but I realize that's not for everybody.
One question, do you have any idea what is the closest distance at which the Garmin will track & record the velocity at?
The LabRadar has a file, which I only look at occasionally, that shows at what distance it started tracking the bullet. Typically it's ~11yds.
I mainly test at a 25yd indoor range so its not a problem unless I want to check grouping at 10yds while checking velocity.
Not a biggie, just curious.
