Labradar Help

Mine has worked flawlessly.  The only time I havent got reads was when I forgot to change the bullet weight when shooting two different rifles.

What’s your setup for positioning the unit?

Sounds like adjusting the bullet weight setting is a definite factor. I’ll start doing that. I remember using my buddies tho, and it wasn’t finicky with any of these preferences.

I don't think Labradar is going to get a five star review from this LR owner.

I read this wrong and came here expecting a dog related topic. 

I read labrador too, lol!

Lab Radar sucks, that muzzle blast will break it and then it will cost quite a bit to fix. The blast off a 10" 5.56 is enough to cause problems. Placing further back or behind blast shield might work, wish the company would build something a bit stronger.

Been using mine now for 3yrs along side just about everything in my safe with zero issues.

get a battery brick, don't bother with batteries. setup must be proper for bullet weight. There is also a new mount that is a pod mount that straddles your rifle, seems like something i may get vs the flat plate stand

I got a battery brick and that had eliminated some problems with shutting off. I shot today and went 17 of 18 velocity’s registered. My last trip was about the same results. I have it set 6 inches behind the break and 6 inches off the barrel. I tried at 12 inches off and it wouldn’t catch.

So as it’s not 100% yet, it’s reliable enough at the moment anyway.

Thanks all.

What is this new mount you speak of? 

I bought a cheap amazon backpack and have a cheap tripod I use with mine.  I liek the backpack as it will also fit my reloading notebook, targets, paper etc as well as the labradar and usb battery pack and the tripod straps right to the side of it, so one bag to grab and throw over my shoulder for everything.  Leaves hands free for gun cases and range bags.
