[QUOTE="shinbone, post: 3012726, member: 15248"] I have a LabRadar unit. After an initial learning curve, it has worked very well for me. I am very interested in the Garmin unit because it will measure velocities above 3900fps, which is the limit for the LabRadar device. The Garmin's ease of setup (little-to-no aiming required) and reliability (folks report that it pretty much never misses a shot or false triggers) would be welcome features, too. Reports are that the Garmin unit works great just by pointing it downrange with no precise aiming required. Looking at the photo of the new LabRadar unit, I see a little aiming tube on top of it. This is making it look like the unit is sensitive to being aimed correctly, which brings back bad memories of the original Labradar chronograph. I carry and mount an old Weaver scope to my Labradar so that I can be sure it is aimed correctly - more things to carry, more steps to get the thing in operation. That LabRadar went so long without any improvements, and now the proposed new unit still needs a janky aiming device is not filling me with great confidence that the new LabRadar is going to be much of an improvement over the old LabRadar. I hope I am pleasantly surprised, though. JMHO [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_5206-XL.jpg"]535942[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
