Garmin Chronograph

[ndwind]

All I use anymore is the Garmin. Small easy to use recharbale on board battery.. My friend and I each have the FX and we had a Labradar. We sold the Labradar. that was the most cumbeersome user unfriendly thing Ive ever used and a battery eater!
In fact if someone wants an FX ill sell mine.

I wonder how well it works for low speeds ? 450 FPS or 590 FPS .

Beerthief;
It will clock archery equipment. The speeds you list shouldn't be a problem.

Mine showed up last night. I successfully clocked a shot string averaging 397fps from a CO2 pistol. These measurements agree with my AirChrony. Also, the manual says you should ensure that you have at least 20 yards of flight to clock something - made the aforementioned measurements at 15 ft and it seemed to work fine. Perhaps higher velocities require more capture distance?

It is my inderstanding that the Garmin C 1;s batteries are not replaceable. If so, wouldn't that mean a limited life span? Any informed feedback will be appreciated.

All batteries are replaceable, it comes down to $$.

Found a picture of the battery. Looks replaceable to me. Same battery as a dog collar.

I use the
https://www.caldwellshooting.com/ra...tic-precision-chronograph/720001.html#start=1 chrono and just jot down the shot FPS #s as I don't even use the iPhone app anymore. I use an excel APP with my WIN 11 PC which gives all of the data I need after I input the FPS & pellet weight. I don't use it with my PB rifles as it they make no difference to me as long as they shoot. The Caldwell has been excellent without many errors. I use the data as a bench mark to know when my air rifle needs maintenance/checking. APP example.

FPS = Feet Per Second, MPS = Meters Per Second, FPE = Foot Pounds of Energy.
To convert to Joules multiply FPE by 1.3558, Joules to FPE multiply by .7376
To convert MPS to FPS, MPS x 3.2808399 = FPS .
To convert FPS to MPS, FPS x .3048 = MPS.
