The Garmin Xero® C2 Chronograph is a compact, radar-based velocity measurement tool built for shooters who need fast, accurate ballistic data without the hassle of traditional chronograph setups. From our perspective, it is one of the most user-friendly and reliable options available, eliminating the need for downrange equipment while still delivering precise shot tracking. Its compact size and simple operation make it ideal for both professional use and range training. It is especially well suited for users who want consistent velocity data across a wide range of platforms without complicated setup.

Features

• Radar-Based Measurement: Uses Doppler radar to track projectile velocity without requiring sensors downrange.
• Wide Velocity Range: Measures projectile speeds from approximately 100 fps to 5,000 fps across multiple platforms.
• Multi-Platform Compatibility: Supports bullets, arrows, slugs, airsoft BBs, and other projectiles.
• Rapid Fire Tracking: Capable of tracking up to 10 shots per second for high-volume or rapid-fire scenarios.
• Simple Setup: No need for tripods downrange—position beside the firearm and begin shooting.
• ShotView App Integration: Syncs with the ShotView app for session tracking, data review, and shot analysis.
• Smartwatch Compatibility: Pairs with compatible Garmin devices to display live shot data in real time.
• Resume Session Functionality: Allows users to switch firearms or loads without losing session data.
• Suppressor Compatibility: Accurately detects shots from suppressed firearms and those with muzzle devices.
• Rugged Construction: Built with a reinforced housing and water-resistant design for field use.
