Labradar LX - I guess they have an answer for the Garmin Zero. Maybe?

Wonder how long they have been sitting on that. Harmon has created healthy competition for sure. It has forced the market forward

Thanks

Will it read velocity downrange vs. muzzle to true BC?

If so, its gonna make Garmin obsolete.

Now we're really going to see the old units up for sale…

Thay say it records 1 downrange velocity. It doesn't matter for the vast majority of shooters though. You can't get a perfect BC over 100yd, so you're going to have to tune based on actual measured drop anyway. It's useful for cast bullets that don't have a listed BC, but that's about it. Labradar has a tough road rebuilding their reputation after the reports of their CS, while Garmin's pretty well known dor good CS. I'll withhold any other judgement until we see something more than a rendering, but on the surface it seems like the two will coexist just fine.

It looks like the garmin would be easy enough to set up down range for a distant velocity since it works in what seem to be in a wide swathe

Thanks

Not everyone is concerned with velocity down range but to each their own. If you've ever dealt with LR on questions, warranty or service you'll run - not walk - from ever having to deal with LR again when Garmin is the competitor of choice.

At scrap prices.

1. I see an aiming device on top. That's not a good sign.

2. I wonder if this is a working model or if they "threw" something together to announce since their sales are probably down 100%.

"Made in North America". What the heck does that mean??

They were bound to die a quick death if they didn't respond to the Xero.

 

[Rimneck]

Hmm........

 

[VarmintBob]

BC changes as velocity changes anyway. There is no single BC value for a bullet that works for the entire trajectory.

interesting and a quick response from LR. Curious to see some reviews of it.
