Fast shipping. Arrived quick and well packed.
Good product. Easy to use, accurate velocity readings, works great with rifles and pistols.
Great customer service!

This unit appears to be accurate, compact and very, very simple to use. No detailed ballistic curve info, just bullet speed at muzzle which is exactly what I am looking for. Huge upgrade from the old style chrono on a tripod. the simplicity has made me revisit handloading again. I would absolutely buy again.

Ok. I have to say that I already knew about the Athlon Rangecraft, and that i wanted one, and that I am extremely pleased with it. What I didn't know was that I would be so happy to have bought it from OpticsPlanet. Those folks really delivered. Not only did I get it at a discount, I got it much faster that i would have believed. From order on Friday to delivery on Monday, 4 days. AWESOME service guys. Thank you.

Used this with rifles, such as 5.56 and 308, and handguns in 9mm and 5.7. no issues and works great.

The Chrono works fine, but is a little limited in how you can notate the shooting session. The app that you download to your phone is a bit clunky. Does not always work the intuitive way and does not always sync the new sessions you just fired at the range. If you like keeping detailed complete records of your loads and shooting sessions, this is probably not for you, it is not easy to use and is really lacking in features to edit bullet and rifle data and specs, my opinion. Got it on sale, but still not sure it was worth it..

The Athlon chronograph is amazing! It captures every shot without fail so far and in any weather conditions unlike the finicky chronos of yesteryear. Setup is simple and fast. It's small enough to carry in a range bag easily yet big enough to read and operate without struggling. The tripod is well made and superior to the Garmins. I highly recommend the Athlon chrono, there's really nothing I have found to dislike about it. It does it's job extremely well and looks good while doing it. Great must have piece of kit!

The rangecraft works great for me. It seems to have a fast response. I use it to chrono my rifle shots. It hasn’t missed any readings from the shots I have fired. It’s a great tool for reloading. I recommend this chronograph. I would buy it again if needed.

This chronograph is very easy to use very cool it calculates KE when you enter cartridge data

I have been extremely impressed with the Athlon Optics Rangecraft Velocity Pro Radar Chronograph. This chronograph has become an important tool in my shooting setup, especially for reload development and fine-tuning ammunition performance.

The accuracy and consistency of the velocity readings have given me confidence when testing different loads, comparing powder charges, and evaluating bullet performance. During load development, having reliable velocity data is critical for understanding pressure changes, calculating ballistic performance, and identifying the loads that produce the best combination of accuracy and consistency.

I have used the Rangecraft Velocity Pro extensively during my shooting sessions and have found it to provide excellent results. It allows me to quickly gather dependable data without the hassle of traditional chronographs, and it has helped me make better decisions when developing loads for my rifles.

For anyone serious about precision shooting, handloading, and improving their understanding of their ammunition’s performance, this chronograph is an excellent investment. The combination of accuracy, ease of use, and reliable data collection makes it a valuable piece of equipment for both experienced reloaders and precision shooters.

Easy to use but, has a short learning curve. Seems accurate. So far I’m impressed. Need more use time to fully appreciate it.
