New Chronograph from Garmin

[Wake27]

Also saw this yesterday and became immediately interested. I love my Tactix Delta and have only seen good things about several of their other products so I have high hopes. I ditched the Magneto due to setup being a PITA and didn't want to spend the money on a labradar but for another Garmin product, especially of that size, I will.

Did you find one in stock somewhere? The few places I've looked had them pre-order only.

I’ve got one reserved and paid for on the inbound batch my local dealer is expecting late next week. Assuming it’s the quantity he’s been told, otherwise his second batch is set to arrive on 11/8.

Garmin was noting 5-8 weeks on their website this am.

For those with Magnetospeed POI issues, the MKM and similar mounts eliminate that issue. Still super fiddly to setup compared to this Garmin unit though. Has anyone seen it used with other shooters in close proximity? I do a bunch of early load development on our indoor range, so I’ve been stuck with Magnetospeed since the other units I’ve seen can’t be used next to other shooters.

I would take this over the battery sucking LabRadar I have any day of the week.

$599 isn’t bad at all

It turns out that my friend, who is the number two instructor at Hat Creek, has used one and says they work great.

Are you putting AA batteries IN the LabRadar?
I have this external battery from them:

(Although it seems most any decent external battery would work).
I’ve used it for hours at a time and still had 85% charge remaining.

I’ve done it both ways. Battery pack works but adds to the bulk and form factor. Especially when on a tripod.

For me, the issue usually comes from inadvertent power on press when in the trunk or stacked.

I’ve been meaning to shim a plate to block off the power button but I would have loved a physical power cut off switch or a recessed power button.

I purchased the external battery pack myself. I've been using it and still having troubles. Just a few weeks ago the chronograph was refusing to arm with an error message of low battery. The external battery showed 85% charge still remaining. I then had it happen even with the external battery showing 95% charge still remaining.

I'm getting this as soon as I can.

Does anyone feel like it is a huge vibe shift for Garmin of all companies to get into the weeds with this nerdy shooting sports equipment?

Next they'll put a fully functioning shot timer in their smartwatch.

Don’t tease me.
