[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 1226978, member: 7848"] Radar technology has the potential to be 'all that'. But not all radar's are not created equal. The unit shown in Hornady's videos is a Infinition BR-29015 [url=http://www.infinition.com/site/index.php/us/products-us/10-ghz-en-us/br-29015-en-us#performances]BR-29015[/url] It states a max range of 800m-1000m for 5.56mm rounds. It is not capable of gathering all the complex data that some more expensive, multi-frequency radar systems with tracking heads, etc. Any tool is only as good as the people using it, and the tool. Hornady's promotion claims their radar can, in good conditions, reach to a mile (1760 yards). Earlier this year, we employed our 'low cost' acoustic system to measure time of flight with +/-0.0005 ms resolution at 2400 yards. Once again, the issue here isn't with the potential of Radar vs. other technologies. The issue is with false claims made under the guise of marketing hype. Anything they've stated that's true, we aren't taking issue with. This has turned into something it was never intended to be. [/QUOTE]
