I bought one of the Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronographs recently and it arrived two days ago. I took it to the indoor range today for the first time and tried it out.
The shot noise from the other shooters would try to trip it, I could see that it was trying to do something but it didn't see the bullet so it didn't record, but the guy next to me was tripping it and it was reading his shots. Not a big deal because I could delete them. I had prior knowledge of this so I was expecting it.
It takes about a second to read individual shot data. As Walkalong said, it is stupid simple. I really like it.
Well, when I got home and tried to pull my data from it into the app in my phone, it didn't work, than I tried the laptop, No Bueno!
It turns out I have to have my phone on and synced to it before I start shooting. That may be in the directions but I must have missed it.
I called Garmin and asked them why I can't get my shot data out of my C1 Pro into the APP after the fact and they apoligized and said that function doesn't work yet. They know about it and they are working on it.
So I thought I could get that data out of the C1 Pro itself but I couldn't see the individual shots. Garmin said: No you can't see them, only the app can see them after their recorded.
All I could get was the average, lo, high, SD and ES. I thought I should be able to see the individual shots in there for $600.00, so I told him that.
The Garmin tech told me that an update would be coming out in a few days to fix the App so we don't have to be paired with it to get all of our data out of it, when we get home from our session.
So watch your Garmin Express for an update for your C1, if you have one. You will have to plug it in to your computer and start Garmin Xpress to see if it's available yet.
.
He told me it will make the system be able to pull in all the data whether your phone is synced up or not. So you can just go shoot, go home and pull in 100% of your data even if your phone is not paired to it when you shoot.
That will be a much better system.
He told me not to delete the range sessions I already have in there, because when the update is installed in the APP, it will pull in everything that is in there, including the individual shot data.
Just wanted you Garmin Xero C1 Pro users to know.
