Athlon Optics Rangecraft Velocity Pro Radar Chronograph

Anyone have any experience with this chrony? It's about $200 less than the Garmin, thinking about replacing my MagnetoSpeed Sporter if I get it.

We did side by side comparisons with the Garmin. The Athlon was very close to the Garmin across the board regardless of rifle or handgun cartridge. I only experienced one time the Athlon missed a shot, and it was because it was too far to one side of the rifle. Moved it closer, and it never missed a shot.

It is easier to manipulate than the Garmin, less buttons to push and the screen is larger, easier to see.

It gets a very good grade here, and I found no issues with it at all. If I did not have the Garmin already I would go with the Athlon for sure. Larger screen and less button pushing is a huge plus.

I bought the Athlon a month or so ago and have been pleased with it. It is the first/only chronograph that I’ve ever owned so I can’t compare it to any of the others. I bought it mainly to confirm MV of different ammo/rifle combos before ordering CDS turrets for my Leupold scopes.

I have the Garmin and can't be happier.

I picked one up a month or so ago—works great!
