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).

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 elses muzzle blast. If this occurs, you can easily delete that shot from your data.
