Lab Radar Chronograph

[IceAxe]

Www.labradar.com

I saw this mentioned on another forum and after looking it up realized I had to have one. It potentially eliminates all MY biggest drawbacks of using a chronograph. Setup is aft of the firing line, you don't shoot over it, it works without regard to illumination, and runs on 6 double A's. You can select where velocity is taken, muzzle, etc. up to five locations. I tried to purchase it online but it won't be available for another few weeks. They said the price was expected to be under $550. I would be happy to let you how it goes when it shows up.

I have been waiting for some impartial reviews, but it looks like they haven't started shipping out a lot of demo models to industry folks yet. It definitely looks interesting - I've been holding off buying a chronograph because I was thinking about getting one of these. A week or two ago, this was the latest update posted on another forum:



Update from labradar:

Since many of you saw our product at Shot Show 2014 we have made some changes to enhance the users experience.

• We have added the ability for the user to input the projectile weight so the Kinetic Energy is automatically calculated at the distances you preselect.
• Added Power Factor Calculations for the IPSC, USPSA Shooters.
• Added a removable SD card port for easy download of data to a PC. You can also download via USB cable.
• Five downrange velocities are reported in user selected distances in increments of one (yards, meters, etc).

LabRadar will become available in Fall 2014. While we had planned on an earlier release, one of the key personnel became critically ill during the final stages of development and was unable to work for over three months. Fortunately he is recovering and is back to work on a limited basis. We thank you for your patience and support. We will continue to update you when firm delivery date is established.

This remarkable device will be worth the wait.


Best regards,

Richard

Yea, I received that email too. I plan to get one and see how it does. I also heard that they are looking to add bc calculation. Now it's just a waiting game.

Bumping a zombie thread...

Have been looking at these doppler units recently and was wondering if anyone had feedback from running one (other than I hear they are a pain to sight-in/align), or had seen any updates at SHOT this year...

Appreciate any info or perspective, thanks!

They are great and are not a pain to use at all. Read the instructions and follow them

Only drawback I see is if you are shooting where others are shooting (it may pick up their shots) or indoors. I tested against my Magnetospeed and got good agreement.

Thanks, that was exactly the feedback I was hoping for!
