   It’s just EASY.

   This is the third chrono I own and will be dumping the other two.
   I have a PACT sky screen type that worked good but was a pain to set up at a crowded range. I also have a FX pocket chrono. That one was also a pain. it missed a lot of shots and went through batteries fast. Also only worked for airgun type velocities.

   The Garmin is just not picky. Turn it on and set it next to your gun like the directions say (They are overly conservative).
   and shoot. The only thing you have to do is not fire faster than about every two seconds. It just works, no drama, no shooting sky screens. Makes the other two redundant. handles speed ranges for anything from airsoft to 220 swift and beyond. I like high end air rifles and tuning them is an art. This unit makes it way easier.
   Always liked Garmin products and this one keeps that going.

   I had delayed buying this chrono because of the price.
   PROS: Small, Light and easy to carry. Setup is a snap. Checking reloads is so easy. The Blue Tooth syncing to my phone and the app makes keeping track of your loading data easy.

   CONS: If someone is shooting next to you, it will pick up their shots. You must shoot in a slow cadence. The Price.

   CONCLUSION: If you have an older chrono, give it to a new reloader and get this. Yes the price is high but it has been worth every penny. I have been able to really streamline my testing with this.

   This unit worked flawlessly and measuring low data and velocities. This give me the much needed data that I needed to perform the best. This chronograph is such a game changer.

   Nutze ich primär für GK Langwaffen. Funktioniert besser als alles andere was ich benutzt habe (Labradar, Magnetospeed, Pro Chrono DX) und die Menüführung ist sehr durchdacht. Verbindung mit meinem Samsung Tablet geht super. Die Materialoberfläche ist etwas empfindlich, hab schon ein paar Kratzer drin und weiß nicht wovon. Man hätte für das Geld eine Schutzhülle beilegen können. Wenn es etwas dunkler wird, reicht die Hintergrundbeleuchtung für meine schlechten Augen je nach Situation nicht. Bei normalem Tageslicht ist das Display aber sehr gut zu lesen. Hab das Gerät erst seit kurzem, aber so ca. 800 Messungen ohne Auffälligkeiten. Wenn der Nachbar zu dicht ist, also direkt neben einem liegt nur durch ein Brett getrennt, ist sein Schuss auch schon mal mit drauf. Die konnte ich aber immer leicht identifizieren und aus der Liste löschen. Das Dreibein ist sehr einfach und hat kein Gelenk für Neigung. Wenn man das braucht, kann man alternativ irgend ein anderes Stativ nutzen. Irgendwie scheint jetzt jeder so ein Teil zu haben und alle sind begesitert. Nur einer hatte bemängelt, dass in der deutschen Menüführung irgendetwas missverständlich sei und er deshalb auf englisch umstellen musste. Ich selber habe das Menü nur auf englisch benutzt.

   Absolutely fantastic. Lived up to my expectations. Small, accurate. Simple setup. Put it on a stool in a snow-covered field and shot over it today with my pistol in 20 degree weather. Easy to read display. My old chronograph was hard to set up, shoot between the hoops and sunshades. It’s going in the trash. Yes. It’s pricey. Worth it? Yes. Keep an eye out for sales.

   I hesitated buy the Garmin Xero C1 Pro because of the price. It seems way too expensive to get me the velocity information I needed. There are cheaper alternatives and most are of the same old technology as my old Chrony where it reads the bullet (shadow) passing by in order to determine velocity which comes with all sorts of inherent issues such as shade, clouds, muzzle gasses, etc. all resulting in bad readings or errors. Never mind the risk of shooting your chronograph that is down range from the rifle. So I read a bunch of reviews on the Garmin and decided to give it a reluctant try. POOF and $640 was gone, but I had my new chronograph and it is TINY. It is small than the size of my old display unit for my deceased Chrony. After I got it out of the box, on the charger, and turned on for the first time, I did the initial setup (things like picking English as a language and fps instead of mps, etc.) and waited for it to fully charge. I did not read any instructions. I got it to the range, put it on its little tripod and set it up next to the rifle like I saw in other reviews (I now know it needs to be fairly close to the muzzle), turned it on, selected to start a new session, and started shooting. It read each shot fired with no dropped shots and no errors. When I would change to a different load, I would start a new session. I was able to get the data I needed very quickly and then be on my way to hunt. ZERO problems were encountered. I have not used the app, though I did download it. I am not sure what all the app will do, but will explore that in the future. The unit does not require use of the app (which was a concern I had) to get your basic shooting data (see screen display images. The first shows the display after a shot and the 2nd shows the summer of the shots for the given load. If you are going to pay a premium price for a bit of kit, you want that bit of kit to be hassle-free and in my experience so far, the Garmin Xero C1 Pro has been hassle free and not only that, soooo much easier to use than my old chronograph. Setup and breakdown are literally only seconds. I would spend several minutes each range session aligning my chronograph perfectly and trying a test shot or two to make sure it is set up where it can read my shots and if not, make more adjustments. Setup for the Garmin Xero C1 Pro was simply a matter of setting it out on the shooting bench next to the rifle out by the muzzle (where you would likely place it so you could readily read the display anyways) and pointing it down range, pressing a button to turn on the power and a button to start a new session. Even if you don’t use the app and forgot to bring a pen to write down the data, no worries, it will save it for you. As I am a night hunter (hogs and pests), it would be nice to be able to use a chronograph after dark. As the Garmin uses radar to ‘see” the bullet, I should be able to do my range work after dark if I need to do so. I paid a lot of money for this chronograph, but it has not disappointed me in any way thus far. I am quite pleased with my purchase.

    Outstanding price!
    It accurately measures the speed of my projectiles. Extremely handy for making up my own reloads.
