THoff's Review of Labradar V1 Doppler Chronograph
I just used my Labradar for the first time yesterday and it is everything I had hoped for. It was easy to set up at the range, didn’t have any trouble with .223 bullets (the smallest caliber I shoot), and didn’t miss a single shot. I love the large, easy-to-read screen, the ability to control it from my phone, and the wealth of data it collects for every shot.
The only changes I made after the range session is to increase the timeout of the screen saver from the default of 30 seconds. Since I power the Labradar using a USB powerbank, battery life is no concern so I’m keeping the backlit LCD screen on for 600 seconds.
There was a guy with a Magnetospeed chronograph a few lanes to my left, and he was constantly messing with and adjusting it. My primary reason for going to the range yesterday was to zero a new scope, but I was able to collect chronograph information at the same time, which you can’t do with the Magnetospeed because attaching it to your firearm (really just rifle, since using it with a pistol or shotgun isn’t really practical) will shift the point of impact.
Another consideration for me is that I can use the Labradar at my indoor range, where I wouldn’t be allowed to set up anything forward of the shooting table.
