[QUOTE="Dr. Mac, post: 1761662, member: 104530"] I too was initially impressed with the LabRadar. I don't like it so much any more. The Achilles heel of the unit is aiming it to reliably detect shots. It takes multiple attempts and clever add-ons like straws, other small tubes, or scope mounts attached to the unit to get it aligned for rifle shots at 100 yds. As such, it's not reliable for short strings such as when working up loads in 3 shot groups. Mine usually misses some if not most of them ruining the testing. The software for the Bluetooth iPhone app is clunky too. As an avid rifle shooter I have all but abandoned mine in favor of the MagnetoSpeed unit. It detects every shot, every time and is reliable. I live with the issue of having something hanging off the end of the barrel since I'm first shooting to measure velocity. They even have attachments which will eliminate barrel contact if desired. But there is hope. MK Machining makes off barrel mounts for the MagnetoSpeed as well as a carbon fiber add on sighting fixture for the LabRadar [URL]https://mkmachining.com/product-category/chronographs/[/URL]. I just saw this new LabRadar sighting device and will be purchasing one ASAP. Without an aftermarket sighting solution, the LabRadar is practically worthless. Buyer beware!!! [/QUOTE]
