Lab Radar over heating?

[haisardao]

Question for the group, I've been dialing some loads in the Texas heat and my Labradar keeps missing shots after the first 15-20 minutes at the range. This has happened in very hot days, 105F or above, never had this issue before. Have you guys seen this?
Thanks

It's possible especially if you are in the sun.

I don't know about the Labradar but I would be over-heating.

So true but I can't go all summer without getting out to shoot! That's the only thing keeping my mental health in check

Review the manufacturer's specifications. Or call the manufacturer's Rep.

The operable temperature range is specified. I remember reading the temp range in the specs.

Good point, I'll give them a call. Hopefully we just have a few weeks left of this heat

No, but I am overheating thinking about it.

You guys stay cool and hydrated. I was in Houston in June; OMG, 104 and 100 humidity - I still managed to have lunch with Brother @asd9055, though I have worked in 120+ weather (in humid and dry heat); now I have a choice, no thanks! Anything over 68 is hot for me.

117 heat index here today. I shot about 30 mts before dark.
I don't know what this heat is good for, but it's not my guns or crops in the field. Has to be stressful on our deer too.

Man, if I only shot under 104°, I would have to take 4 months off! We went 31 days straight over 110°. And it hasn't been under 90° since early June.

I have run mine up to 117°F actual temp.

I hear you, I guess mine is from Vermont , hates the heat.

Yeah, but SCREW single digit (or lower) temps. I HATE the cold.

I have the same problem. I bought a small fan that runs off a battery and pointed it straight at the Labradar and that solved my problem.
