[QUOTE="Jeff Heeg osoh, post: 1793978, member: 111250"] [ATTACH=full]166106[/ATTACH] Terry I didn’t see anyone chiming in so I will try to help some as far as your question. The Lab Radar as well as the Magneto Speed are both great resources to use. In the past folks complained that having the Magneto attached to the barrel was affecting the point of impact while giving the shooter some excellent information, barrel contours would dictate who was seeing the effects of something hooked onto the barrel versus others. At the end of the day you still had some great info versus the old chronographs. Thus the Lab Radar came along another great addition to the shooter who’s tying to get the most valid info in precision yet not affecting the harmonics of the barrel and impacts on a target face. Both are excellent set ups without a doubt but to answer your question as to what your seeing in some ELR videos. We use the Lab Radar when shooting and calibrating our equipment at ELR distances, we will set up the unit and monitor our speeds in relationship to impacts at 800 to 1800 yards for example. We watch our water line on impacts on the target face and if there is a low impact while testing and the speed reflects slower well then you don’t chase your tail because you have valid info stating why. While shooting in Raton, NM at the the KO2M you cannot use any type of devices that monitors anything past the shooting line. Dave as well as his son in-law in turn use the Magneto Speed with a special mount that Dave rigged up that doesn’t mess with the barrel harmonics to still be able to see the speed of every shot fired and be able to use that info in relation to target or rock impacts for calling corrections - so if he had a round that registered slower or faster from his original group he would not over correct and start chasing impacts. The Magneto was legal to use for this because you are not monitoring anything down range from the shooting line yet still having a good base line info for every shot fired when your dealing with a limited amount of rounds to shoot and under a time restraint. Also Dave Tubbs was able to add another option for shooters to obtain for their setups as well with the Magneto Speed mount. As far as the Lab Radar for RnD and testing we have found this simple and cheap quad pod set up to be the best as far as not missing a ping do to movement of the lab or the smoke from the round fired effecting the feedback from the lab. Hopefully this picture works showing the quad pod set up. I hope this info helps Cheers Iamosoh JH [/QUOTE]
