Folks,
I ordered an Athlon Rangecraft yesterday. I'm only looking for an easy setup to check my reloads.
Setting up my Oehler 35P wasn't really a big deal but this new one should fit in my pocket. I wasn't opposed to the
$700.00 Garmin but for what I'm doing I'll give this one a try.
Anyone having GOOD or BAD issues with the Athlon please chime in; because I can send it back.
Have a nice weekend.

Personally I think you will be pleased.
I don't have one, and only base that on a conversation I had with two guys whom shoot together. One had the Garmin the other the Athlon. When they compared them both noted that the accuracy was extremely close. And ended with either brands was a good choice.
 
I haven't been able to use my Athlon a whole lot, but I'm impressed so far. It has picked up every shot from air rifles, rimfires, pistols, rifles, bows and crossbow. I have seen some complaints of the app having some issues but I haven't even tried it so I can't comment on that.
Good luck. I think you will be happy with the unit.
 
I'm also saving money for an Athlon/Garmin, mainly because setting up my chronograph at the range is best done with no one around. Because many shooters want to check their "guns" and I don't trust them to be able to shoot without hitting the unit/tripod 10' feet away. The rangecraft has a 1 year warranty, for some that is a consideration.
