Game Changer?

Holy cow, Garmin has released a highly-portable radar chronograph with a $599 MSRP.

That would be such a game changer for me. I've had articles run right against the ragged edge of a deadline due to needing to wait for a break in the weather so I could set up my old Shooting Chrony Beta in one of the pistol bays at Marion County Fish & Game. 

When the pistol bays were down for maintenance earlier this summer, I had to set up my chrono on a tripod on the main firing line...and hope nobody else got there that early in the morning to turn the process of shooting and recording three ten-round strings into an all-morning festival of tedium of calling the range cold, scuttling down with my notebook, scuttling back, calling the range hot again, et bloody cetera.

With a radar-based chrono, I could use the indoor range at Indy Arms Co. right down the street, weather be damned.
