Garmin Xero C1 Chronograph

[Hooptie]

Greetings McB’ers.

I came across this Garmin chronograph and would like to share. It is pricey. And I’m glad it mentions paintball (we are a relevant sport).

Thanks for sharing this but, $599 for a chronograph....



...I thought $300 for a "Big Red" chrono was expensive. 🤦♂️

It's very worth the extra money. I've used one, and it is far more accurate then anything else on the market. It also records each shot and sends it to your phone via Bluetooth, so you can shoot a bunch and then compare data sets afterwards. Yes it is pricey, but it's justified, especially if you are anal about tuning things in perfectly.

Paging nobbie333 to the thread please....

Paintball is a secondary use for that chrono, Yes it is expensive but does work very well and very easy to use
there are cheaper chrono on the market designed for paintball virtue clock I have an extra one if anybody is looking for one

As cool as it is, I think I'll keep an eye on shop goodwill for one in a few years.

Myrkul since you have used one, do you know if there's any kind of minimum distance past the Chrono the paint has to fly? Like if this thing was directly in front of a catch bucket would that still allow it to read?

I don’t think you will find any used in the next few year

The Garmin is a LabRadar killer

As for minimum distance we tried it shooting into a small box 3 feet away and it still worked

The gun forums I follow swear by this thing. It's huge in the firearm community.

I just picked one up for chronoing real steel but might try it with paintball. Now to find some paint....
