Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

Last weekend I shot 20 rounds of 6.5 suppressed off a tripod with the Xero rifle mounted. Captured all 20 shots without issue. On version 3.32.

Pics of where the Xero is mounted and how far far back from the suppressor it was actually sitting.

FWIW I logged another 10 today with no problems. That makes around 230 rds logged since March, divided between air rifle pellets, hand gun rounds, and rifle rounds. Slowest was 85 fps, fastest was 3344 fps. I used both the included tripod and the Area 419 arca mount. I have installed the updates as they came out, and haven’t had any missed shots or any other issues.
 
I really thought I had dodged a bullet not having installed the 3.30 update. The last one I did was 3.27 and I did that one only at the end of my review cycle when I was making sure I had investigated the various software features thoroughly as I didn't use the app for my own use. Turns out I was wrong. I had not used the Garmin at a crowded indoor range since early in the review process with the original firmware. At that time it worked great. It didn't pick up a single shot from my neighbors and picked most of mine despite the position on the table being a bit further from the bore than recommended. This time... Yikes. I couldn't stop picking up neighboring shots. It even occasionally picked up one from two lanes over. You would think it would be keen to pick up all mine as well wouldn't you. Not so! The Garmin was dropping shots right and left. It wasn't even just the .22lr shots either, it was even dropping 9mm shots which are super easy for chronos to pick up. Meanwhile, the new Athlon didn't miss a shot all day and only picked up one neighboring lane shot...

Hopefully fully updating the Garmin will restore it somewhat to sanity but I really just want the original firmware back. It worked great with that firmware. If it doesn't ima have to update the review. The function today was significantly diminished from the original firmware. Fingers crossed for 3.32.

We are not seeing any missed shots in our testing since v3.32. If anyone is still having issues with missed shots, could you please provide the following information?
  • SW Version (from the Settings | About page on the device, not the app)
  • Number of shots taken vs recorded
  • Indoor vs Outdoor
  • Was the Xero C1 placed within the specified distance behind the muzzle and laterally from the barrel?
  • Caliber and rough expected speed
  • Are you willing to do a factory reset on the device? If yes, does that resolve the issue? Sync to the app first to avoid losing any saved sessions.
Thanks for your help.

I did do a factory reset when I was running into issues and the newest update remained. And continued to miss shot on and off rifle. It was indoors however

A factory reset will not change the software version. Are you on v3.30 or v3.32 now? Have you had a chance to try it outdoors? Is there any difference?
