[QUOTE="JohnT, post: 2163457, member: 12485"] I was one of the ones worried about pointing the Labradar to get readings. In practice its not so critical - I've seen the gadgets, the straw etc. Just sight down the V notch to roughly down the centre of your target and you are done. No big deal. Now if you want to get a reading say each 25 yards until 100 or 200 yards you may need assistance to fine tune the positioning. The bigger issue is triggering the **** thing when you have a muzzle brake. I could not get a reading with a brake (V angled one) but normal barrels were OK at my range. Now its only an issue because at my range I could not position the Labradar safely within the range rules that this occurs which would be slightly in front of the firing line. Our range also has side baffles between shooting benches which are bad for the Labradar you have to get the unit in front of the side baffles or move it towards centre of the shooting lane. For me the issue of the unreliability to get readings was rectified when I got a JKL recoil sensor. Now Labradar is super reliable and also eliminates false triggering from other shooters. I've also managed to get readings indoors. Some say don't use full power but I found low power wont give me readings past 3000fps for a 30 cal. For ladder testing always fire a test shot before commencing your ladder. Labradar comes into its own when you have several rifles to test loads for at one range session. [/QUOTE]
