As my past experience with Bushnell, their products offer an excellent balance of cost vs. quality. I like the Speedster II Radar Gun overall quite a bit. It is accurate, rugged, and CORDLESS. I do not like, however, the fact that it cannot read speeds below 10 m.p.h. For many applications this is not an issue. It is, in my opinion, a rather annoying limitation. For the price, it can't be beat.

I've had 3 of these guns. The first one went back on warranty after about a year (just stopped working). It's replacement broke after the warrranty expired (LCD screen cracked, not sure how). I bought the third one and it didn't work at all so I returned it. I don't know if I'll try again. When it did work, I only got good readings about 60-75% of the time standing directly behind the pitching machine I was calibrating.

Has never read speed accurately, consistely 15-20mph off of real speed. Doesn't read at all through fence...For things like this, you just have to pay the big bucks for a legitimate gun. You get what you pay for here, and in this case, it was a bad idea.

You get what you pay for here..I bought this for use on a baseball team I coach. It does not read any pitches, and has never been accurate. This was a waste of money, and I will be returning it. I have pitchers that throw in the high 80's to low 90's...the gun has never read higher than 71....Terrible buy. I am going to have to spend the $600+ for a good gun.... Sometimes cheaper is not better....

I purchased the gun to use with not only our pitching but our batting and throwing as well. I have'nt as yet been able to use it my self because our head coach likes to use it, so I don'nt get the chance as he is using it. It looks as though we may be ordering another in the near future if he won'nt let me use it. Again a great piece of equipment.

Got this to measure speed of RC planes. It works great! I am very impressed with the quality of the unit both mechanically and performance wise.

I've been using it for 3 weeks now without a bit of trouble. There's a real problem with speeders on our street where the speed limit is 25. I've clocked some cars at 60, but lately, when they see me standing out there with the "gun" they tend to slow way down.
