Labradar: The new generation of ballistic velocity radar

With the Chronograph era over Labradar is the world’s newest technology in obtaining projectile velocities of Rifles, Shotguns (slugs only), Handguns, Pellet Guns, BB Guns, Bow & Arrows, Crossbows and Paintball. Labradar performance exceeds any consumer level velocity acquisition system. The Labradar works by velocity measurements are based on continuous wave Doppler radar and advanced digital signal processing technologies. It continually measures velocities up to 100 yards depending upon the size of the bullet. (Smaller bullets do not track as far as large bullets.) 

Doppler Radar is the most precise method of measuring velocities available. Its accuracy is not dependent on light conditions or being exactly parallel to photo electric sensors resulting in false readings. There is no shooting through a small confined area. No dealing with optimal lighting conditions as unlike most light sensing chronographs Labradar is not affected by changes in environmental conditions such as temperature, changing light conditions, rain etc.

No stopping the firing line to set up and take down equipment. The setup of the Labradar simply place the Labradar beside the shooter, not downrange where other systems are prone to damage, point it towards the target and you’re ready to go, Labradar is designed to set besides the shooter as it is triggered by the weapon muzzle blast. Currently it is not possible to trigger the radar at a downrange location.

It tracks and obtain true velocities continuously. Each shot series provides Maximum Velocity, Minimum Velocity, Average Velocity, Standard Deviation, Extreme Spread. Being accurate with subsonic, transonic, supersonic projectiles. The Labradar records a virtually unlimited number of shots and shot series.  Then you can download your data to a PC for later PC analysis, also smartphone, tablet and iPad compatible.

Multiple distances for velocity display are user definable on the unit. Labradar measures velocities up to 3,900 fps. with 0.1% accuracy. Labradar is not dependent on any light source and can be used indoors/outdoors in all weather conditions. Individual shots display velocities at muzzle and up to five additional distances along with Kinetic Energy at each distance. The data is downloadable via USB or SD card (supplied).  Built in IPSC / IDPA Power Factor Calculator.  Mounts on standard ¼ x 20 tripod thread. (tripod not included).

LabRadar LX

New Labradar LX Doppler Radar Chronograph

The new Labradar LX doppler radar chronograph is another entry into the rapidly-growing portable chrony market. It has been developed by the Canadian company that produced the “Gold Standard” Labradar unit that is used by HAM for all our pellet Ballistic Coefficient testing.

The Labradar LX is far smaller and lighter than the original Labradar. Judging from the “aiming tube” on top of the unit, it will likely be easier to point easily in the correct direction.

As with the original Labradar, the LX model has an accuracy specification claim of +/- 0.1%. That means a reading accuracy between a minimum of 999 FPS and a maximum of 1,001 FPS for an actual shot of 1,000 FPS.

That’s certainly accurate enough for airgun testing!

Compared to the original Labradar, the LX measures an increased range of Muzzle Velocities. The specs are from 65 FPS to 5,000 FPS. The original model tops-out at 3,900 FPS.

Again like the original model, it displays data for average velocity, Standard Deviation, Extreme Spread and maximum/minimum velocity in a shot string. It also can be used with the same Bluetooth mobile app, should you want to connect to your phone.

Unlike the original Labradar, the LX is small and compact. It measures just 2.5 x 2.75 x 2.75 Inches. It also has a metal case and there’s a built-in, long-lasting rechargeable battery. It’s supplied with a mini-tripod and USB charging cable.

However, the LX only gives one downrange velocity to about 15-20 Yds. It is primarily meant to be used for IPSC, IDPA and similar competitions were they need to calculate Power Factor in front of the muzzle.

This compares to the five downrange velocities that are available from every shot with the existing Labradar unit.

Will LabRadar pick up other shooters projectiles

The LabRadar accuracy will not be affected by other shots being fired into your radar beam. Part of the technology built into the system allows it to determine if the shot came from very near the radar unit or if it came in from another location. Since the radar tracking is only active for a fraction of a second it is nearly impossible for you to receive a velocity from another shooter nearby. Your unit also has an adjustment in it to “turn off” most gunshots that are nearby, yet allow your shot to operate the unit. In rare cases your unit may be triggered by someone else muzzle blast. If this occurs, you can easily delete that shot from your data.

lab radar will remain consistent and reliable for an extended period of time when properly stored such similar as the imr powder, ramshot powder, blackhorn 209 powder, accurate powder alliant powder. 300 savage ammo, wide open trigger all recommend you use for your guns.

Reviews from our customers.

I held off on buying for a while to get others feedback and opinions on how great it works.. But after all the good & bad reviews.. I’m here to say I LOVE IT.. works totally as described.. Read the manual.. Set it up and it works great.. If ya have any questions.. Richard will help any way he can.. Great customer service.. Totally appreciated.. Wasn’t nearly as hard to use as alot of reviews or videos claim.. Use the sight notch.. Program it and shoot.. Thanks for a GREAT PRODUCT..

I’ve used my Labradar now in two shooting sessions and cannot be happier. The menu takes a bit getting used to, but I’m sure it will quickly become routine. In 40 shots there was just one failure to record a velocity, and that might have been my fault.
Melissa Miner
Just used it today, by far the best and most simple device to use. Everyone at the range was also impressed.
Andrew Woods
Got this mine a while back and just now sending a review. The Labradar is an exceptionally well designed unit that works with incredible accuracy. The data it captures is enough to keep any geek more than happy while also providing data in a way that it is very easy to review for people who just want the basic info. This is one of the few products I can recommend 100% with no reservations!
Jenny Sanders
At first I did not know what to expect, decided to go for it and must admit that it does work really well! The interface and navigation of the results on the device screen is intuitive, I love how bright it is. It is so small and compact with a solid construction, that's impressive. The performances were great, I did not miss a shot. The battery does last really long with the option to arm and disarm the system, I can do a few days at the range without charging, that's fantastic. The app has been working great for me on my phone so far. We did some tests and compared the LX to a magneto with my 308. The results were pretty much the same at 1 or 2fps. Overall I am really happy with my purchase and I would recommend the device to everyone.

I was an early adopter of the original LabRadar chrono. When I do range work I aim to get the most done in a given time so I set up 6-8 targets and am constantly switching out rifles to allow for cooling. With a screen chrono that can only align on one target that was a giant PIA, the original LabRadar changed all that with the ability to simply realign the chrono from the bench. While it was certainly not without its faults; finicky about alignment, bulky, glitchy bluetooth connection, PIA to reset after a missed shot etc... but even with those it was far better and easier to set up than the original screen chronographs. The LabRadar LX is as much of an improvement over the original as the original was over the old screen style chronos. Far more compact allowing it to be set on the shooter side of the rifle on a typical shooting bench. This puts the controls in easy reach, the LabRadar app makes this even easier and I did not have any glitches with the Bluetooth connection. The app allows you to name the stings which is handy. I shot everything today from suppressed .22 & 300 Blkout to 6.5 Creed and .224 Valk without a hickup. No missed shots or any other errors. I could not be happier with it and heartily recommend it.
