[QUOTE="sep, post: 2942825, member: 34774"] I've owned a Labradar for quite some time. I'm on my second Magnetospeed (sold the first one) and have had several optical chronographs over the years too. The Labradar works okay but it needs to be aimed correctly to read properly (I lay a small metal tube on the V notch and look through it to center the Labradar on the target) and I have had issues with it trying to pick up other shooters' shots. That was resolved by adjusting the sensitivity. Same for trying to get it to read 44 magnum hard cast lead bullets. Just need to play with the sensitivity. I shoot muzzle braked 338 Win Mags and the muzzle blast interfered with the readings. So, I built a wooden barrier I could place between the rifle and the Labaradar and that seems to have worked. The muzzle blast is now stopped from shaking the Labradar. As others have said, the new kid on the chronograph block is the Garmin. Lots of guys are selling their Labradars. If you want a good deal on a Labradar, now is the time to buy a used one at a discount. I am going to buy a Garmin in the future, once they are back in stock. It looks like they have produced an excellent product but we'll see if it has the same problem with 338 Win Mag muzzle blast as the Labarader. If so, I'll just use my wooden barrier. [/QUOTE]
