[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2713352, member: 123604"] I've used optical chronographs, a magnetospeed, and a Labradar. The labradar is the only one I've kept. Setting up optical chronos is a pain. If the lighting isn't right they don't work well. They take longer to set up. On a public range they're a pain since you can't just walk down range whenever you want. The magnetospeed solves those issues, but doesn't work well with handguns. I got it to work on songle shots, but never even tried on a revolver. The labradar solves the issues with optical chronos and works well with handguns. The two main downsides are battery life and trigger sensitivity with some quiet firearms like 22lrs. The battery life issue can be resolved with a USB battery pack and the trigger issue can be resolved with an external mic. I've found the downrange velocity provided by my labradar to be very useful with cast bullets. I can calculate BC using velocity at the muzzle and at 100 yards which gets my drop close when I start shooting out to 200 or 500. [/QUOTE]
