Given that the Labradar records a file with distance and velocity every mil second or so, you would be able to get the velocity in the rough position of the 35P. that would be an interesting comparison if you kept the track files.

Example:
Time (s) Vel (fps) Dist (yd) SNR
0.008021 2712.39 7.26 40.12

Great test though.

Just saved me the cost of buying a Magnetospeed to make a comparison with my LabRadar.

Very well done, thank you. Also verifies the accuracy of these devices.

The LabRadar unit is currently available thru several outlets for $500 with discount coupon / code . The Magneto-speed V3 can be had for about $179….Can’t tell you the price of the Oehler Unit , sorry .

haha 23 feet out with Oehler.

Editor: Look at the photo. The Oehler needed to be placed that far away (7.5 yards) to get natural light over the sensors. The shooting range had a covered firing line.

Sorry to see no mention that barrel strap on models will cause you point of impact to change and barrel harmonics. And it would have been nice to list Retail price on each. But good job overall. Thanks for posting it.

Very interesting and reassuring. Clearly 12fps isn’t enough offset for vel loss over 23 feet
