This has exceeded my expectations as an affordable solution for measuring the speed of baseball pitches. The only downside is that it sometimes does not get a reading, but with just a little practice we are able to get fairly consistent results.

I have bought some one Bushnell speed gun about two years ago, I think I just want to try it in sports field and look at it whether easy to use and whether working reliable, and till now they are working well for about two years! It is good! So, I introduce them to my friend to buy some one. I think it can not make me and my friend disappointed.

I purchased the Bushnell Speed Gun to record my Little League teams pitching speed. It is extremely accurate . This product performs as well as the most expensive speed guns without the cost and most of all the kids have fun . I had a little problem with my original purchase, but Optics Planet replaced it with no hassle. The other coaches loved it too. I end up buying three more guns.

I have been able to clock vechicles at distances up to 1/4 mile. I live on a street with a 30 mph speed limit and long 1/4 mile straight run with many speed merchants using it. One or two saw me using the radar gun and abruptly slowed down. :)

I bought this to see how fast my team was pitching. I also bought it for other uses. I wanted to see how accurate it was. so I was riding in the car and pointed it on the road. It was accurate up to the mark. It ships fast and does not cost much. I saw the same gun at a sporting goods store for $140.99 so it's a good deal here.

Would recommend:  yes

I purchased the Speed Gun for my son's baseball trianing and it has been very helpful. The radar is not very good at seeing wood baseball bats, while swinging ,but sees aluminun very well (good tool for measuring bat speed) The gun is capable of reading speeds of arrows from a Bow and BBs from Air riffles or a Slingshot as long as you are near (standing behind) the shooter and the projectile is under the 200 mph speed. The radar gun will read automobiles out to about 1/4 mile or more . This has been a very helpful tool and a fun toy for me!

Pros:  great price and very consistent readings
Cons:  light up panel would be nice
Would recommend:  yes

This is a fairly basic and simple gun, but i get consistent reading from it with only the slightest variance of 1 mph up or down. Of course if you're looking for something that is 100% totally accurate all the time you'll have to spend a little more than $70. For the price, this gun is super!!!! I use it for all kinds of stuff andf think its the perfect gun for everyday use, unless you're from NASA and trying to clock a rocket launch or something. you can't beat teh price.

I purchased this gun to measure my son's pitching speed. It certainly seems to be very easy to use and appears well made. The display is large. It's easy to turn on/off. I've used it on 2 separate occasions to measure pitching speed and on 2 occasions to measure the speed of my car (my son pointed it out of the windshield at the road while I was driving). Using the speedometer as a guide, it seemed to measure the speed of the car within 1 or 2 mph up to 70mph. For measuring pitching speed, it was inconsistent at speeds above about 65mph (curiously, it seemed to be pretty accurate when I was throwing about 50-53mph from about 50 feet). One time we measured standing behind the backstop, the other time I held the gun in 1 hand and caught my son's pitches with the other. I did this because I read a review that said the gun didn't seem to work very well when trying to use it from behind a metal fence. On both occasions, the readings seemed inconsistent, varying as much as 8 mph between ...
