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.

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!

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.
