Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

There was an old episode of the Twilight Zone. “To serve Man.” Basically aliens, (real outer space aliens) landed on earth and supposedly there to help human kind on Earth. They gave them a book, to translate.

Everyone was going on vacation to the alien planet as it seemed to be a big thing. Finally the skeptic scientist decided to go there. As he was boarding and could not get off, his assistant ran up and said they finally translated it, To Serve Man, was a cookbook.

I am the skeptic. I’ve used Garmin products for several decades now and always know, don’t buy Garmin early because they are famous for letting the customers do the beta testing. I warned all y’all, wait. No one listened. Dumped your Labradar’s like last nights whore.

Well the skeptic finally thought, it’s been a while, surely they got it right by now, so I pulled the trigger and got mine delivered last Wednesday. Sure enough, as soon as I get a Garmin, the complaints start piling in. Best thing, I’ve gone though two sessions, with no issues. (And not one dropped shot).
Dude, right out of the box on the original release the Garmin was SO much better than the LR it wasn’t even a fair comparison. It just worked, with no crutches like the LR needed (I ran a LR for 7 years). The problem only arose recently with a buggy update which it appears they fixed quickly.
Edit - everyone who dumped their LR “like last night’s whore” - I haven’t heard of any considering going back. Most of us still have them because they are worth next to nothing now because of the Garmin.

Yes, seriously I was doing load development for a 375 Chi tech and I need to know my standard deviation of a string of 10 or 20 rounds if I delete one or two. And how else are you gonna figure it out without doing the calculations one way or another if the device fails to account for the change after the shot is deleted?
If you were synched to the App, and deleted the shot in the App, it would have done it for you correctly. But you are correct about the unit. I was one of the first here to point out the error, and believe it or not, took a lot of flak for “whining”. All I did was say, “Hey, if you delete a shot from a string, it will recalculate the ES but not the SD.” Another member then clued me in that the App would do it correctly, and it did.

Radioactive consequences?

I wonder if there is any serious radiation leaking from any of the destruction in Iran? I haven't heard any mention of this

Iranians removed it a few days or possibly weeks ago

I think it's obvious this was a lesson, they thumbed their noses at Trump so he and the Israelis walk over there and blow stuff up with impunity

Optics Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25 mill in box with extras

Scope is basically in perfect condition. It was on my wife’s 22rimfire with very little use. Glass is flawless, no scratches or damage. EBR-7C mill reticle! Still in original box with sunshade and the others stuff it came with. Also included is a vortex throw lever, mkm level and a single turret tape installed already. I’ll take $550 with the added accessories shipped for it all.

Even though I work in computers, I am apparently tech challenged and I can't figure out how to send you a PM. But I am interested.

I will keep trying to figure it out, but I may be better able to reply if you would like to initiate a PM.
I think it may be since you have a new account. You can double check the forum rules to make sure.

Hypothetical: 1x fired --> annealed

No, you misunderstand. Didn't disregard your data, and in fact, thank you for sharing it. It's just a very small sample size. That data may prove out over a thousand rounds, or ten-thousand, but you know 10 rounds isn't a large enough sample size to make any declarations. I've shot 10rd groups back to back with no changes and seen noticeable changes in group size and SD and the like. Thank you for your spreadsheet, and it does as much as anything I've seen as far as reasonable testing, just needs more. Ten groups of ten shots each way would probably be enough to tell the truth.
I agree about 10 rounds given the statistics for that number. That's why I combined each of the 10 sets for 20 on my spreadsheet as 20 is a much better telling figure. There's an error factor for 20 too, but. . . but it's getting pretty small and I think, small enough to answer the question as to whether the theory(s) is valid . . . especially given the many testimonies from some pretty good sources. It just doesn't seem to me that something like a 1,000 round test is going to answer the question any better. After all, we're not trying to put a lander on Mars. ;)

Hmmmm??? I wonder if a Monte Carlo simulation software could answer the question well?

You're very welcome, about the spreadsheet. As I've collected my own data or the last 8 years, it's been interesting to me to see what works and what doesn't. When I initially started annealing, I saw a distinct improvement in my overall data. But, because I was (and still am) playing with various components, I think it would be too confusing for anyone to look at my data and draw any conclusion about annealing since I didn't actually record this aspect for annealing.
