Expensive, But XERO Hassles
I hesitated buy the Garmin Xero C1 Pro because of the price. It seems way too expensive to get me the velocity information I needed. There are cheaper alternatives and most are of the same old technology as my old Chrony where it reads the bullet (shadow) passing by in order to determine velocity which comes with all sorts of inherent issues such as shade, clouds, muzzle gasses, etc. all resulting in bad readings or errors. Never mind the risk of shooting your chronograph that is down range from the rifle.So I read a bunch of reviews on the Garmin and decided to give it a reluctant try. POOF and $640 was gone, but I had my new chronograph and it is TINY. It is small than the size of my old display unit for my deceased Chrony. After I got it out of the box, on the charger, and turned on for the first time, I did the initial setup (things like picking English as a language and fps instead of mps, etc.) and waited for it to fully charge.I did not read any instructions.I got it to the range, put it on its little tripod and set it up next to the rifle like I saw in other reviews (I now know it needs to be fairly close to the muzzle), turned it on, selected to start a new session, and started shooting. It read each shot fired with no dropped shots and no errors. When I would change to a different load, I would start a new session. I was able to get the data I needed very quickly and then be on my way to hunt. ZERO problems were encountered.I have not used the app, though I did download it. I am not sure what all the app will do, but will explore that in the future. The unit does not require use of the app (which was a concern I had) to get your basic shooting data (see screen display images. The first shows the display after a shot and the 2nd shows the summer of the shots for the given load.If you are going to pay a premium price for a bit of kit, you want that bit of kit to be hassle-free and in my experience so far, the Garmin Xero C1 Pro has been hassle free and not only that, soooo much easier to use than my old chronograph. Setup and breakdown are literally only seconds. I would spend several minutes each range session aligning my chronograph perfectly and trying a test shot or two to make sure it is set up where it can read my shots and if not, make more adjustments. Setup for the Garmin Xero C1 Pro was simply a matter of setting it out on the shooting bench next to the rifle out by the muzzle (where you would likely place it so you could readily read the display anyways) and pointing it down range, pressing a button to turn on the power and a button to start a new session. Even if you don’t use the app and forgot to bring a pen to write down the data, no worries, it will save it for you.As I am a night hunter (hogs and pests), it would be nice to be able to use a chronograph after dark. As the Garmin uses radar to ‘see” the bullet, I should be able to do my range work after dark if I need to do so.I paid a lot of money for this chronograph, but it has not disappointed me in any way thus far. I am quite pleased with my purchase.

Freedom slug radar
One of the best items I have bought in the most recent days. Very simple to set up, very simple to use, store, data, can make notes on group shots, and overall an A+ for me. It works extremely well, very accurate, and makes target shooting much more fun and eliminates the need for multiple reload rounds. Excellent buy! Recommended 100%

Amazing! Accurate and Reliable
I got this based on the rave reviews of others. I second those! Has not dropped a shot, has not logged shots from shooters next to me. Easy to read. Trivial to set up – place a bit behind and to the side of the muzzle, pointing roughly downrange, and you are good to go. I hope that they get around to tracking the bullet downrange, but muzzle velocity is fine.

Price is high!
Well the price really is on the high side, but no one twisted my arm. Now this is truly amazing how well it works. You get what one pays for. Very easy to use and I received it in new condition. I mean easy didnât even need to open the manual. Same thing for the APP. Took it out of the box and charged it up. Mine took about two hours. Got it up and running with the App in about forty five minutes. I have a rimfire bullet trap. Pulled out one of my PCP airguns and made some tests. This unit isnât to picky weâre itâs placed. Just pointed it in the direction of my trap. I own other Chronographs including a FX. The Garmin is very fast reporting the FPS. Must say I really like this one the best. I always head dynamite comes in small packages, well this it. Works so good for how lite and small it is. If one doesnât mind spending 600.00 dollars this is the best. Is it worth the money? Yes it is, however I really didnât want to. Go to YouTube and learn about all the different ones. You will see for yourself why I choose this one. It was a mental fight. But Garmin won and Iâm glad!!

Best Chrono Out There, Period.
Easiest to use and set up, accurate readings, small but easy to read, long battery life…. This is far better than any other Chrono I have ever owned or used. This is the one you want. I cannot recommend any other chrono after using this. From bb’s to 50BMG this thing picks them up and crunches all the numbers for you. Easy to sync to your phone for more data and syncs your sessions automatically. This thing is such a breeze, I LOVE IT.

Ease of use and steady performance makes this, in my opinion, the only chronograph to consider.

Nutze ich primär für GK Langwaffen. Funktioniert besser als alles andere was ich benutzt habe (Labradar, Magnetospeed, Pro Chrono DX) und die Menüführung ist sehr durchdacht. Verbindung mit meinem Samsung Tablet geht super. Die Materialoberfläche ist etwas empfindlich, hab schon ein paar Kratzer drin und weià nicht wovon. Man hätte für das Geld eine Schutzhülle beilegen können. Wenn es etwas dunkler wird, reicht die Hintergrundbeleuchtung für meine schlechten Augen je nach Situation nicht. Bei normalem Tageslicht ist das Display aber sehr gut zu lesen. Hab das Gerät erst seit kurzem, aber so ca. 800 Messungen ohne Auffälligkeiten. Wenn der Nachbar zu dicht ist, also direkt neben einem liegt nur durch ein Brett getrennt, ist sein Schuss auch schon mal mit drauf. Die konnte ich aber immer leicht identifizieren und aus der Liste löschen. Das Dreibein ist sehr einfach und hat kein Gelenk für Neigung. Wenn man das braucht, kann man alternativ irgend ein anderes Stativ nutzen. Irgendwie scheint jetzt jeder so ein Teil zu haben und alle sind begesitert. Nur einer hatte bemängelt, dass in der deutschen Menüführung irgendetwas missverständlich sei und er deshalb auf englisch umstellen musste. Ich selber habe das Menü nur auf englisch benutzt.

Most of my shooting buddies have switched to the Garmin Chronograph, due to its compact form and ease of use. I also hand load for multiple calibers, and find that being able to accurately track the ballistics gained, is of great benefit. Iâm very happy with my purchase of this unit, and the seller delivered it on time and as described.
