The Garmin C1 Pro Chronograph: Game Changer!!

You've been shooting your bow and just kind of wondered how fast is that arrow going anyway? Or maybe you changed a few things on your setup and you want to compare your Phase IV to your RX-7 Carbon. But it's Sunday. All the shops are closed. So you can't just run down, run it through a chrono and see how it's doing. Maybe you don't want to just buy a chronograph for your arrows that you're going to shoot once in a while. Maybe you'd like to have one with it will chronograph your gun, pistol, rifle, pellet gun, slingshot, anything you need. We got the solution coming up next on Trinity Wild. Hey everybody, thanks for coming back. What's the best way to handle not having a chronograph? Well, get one. If you've ever had one, you know, 100 bucks, 150 bucks, they don't last. You end up shooting a hole through them half the time. You've got a stand. You've got all kind of stuff. They're really cumbersome. This is going to solve that for you. The Garmin C1i Pro. Compact. This thing is amazing. We were real excited to get them in and it's way exceeded our expectations. I really like to do all my videos outside, but man, it was like 14 leaf blowers going at one time. So it sounded like an airport out there. So I came inside. So here we go. Zero C1 Pro. Let me just unbox it and kind of show you what the unit looks like. I mean, that's it. I mean, guys, it's pretty solid. You just look at your, this thing, it's small enough to fit in your pocket. There's buttons, a charging port on the side. It does come with a charging cord here. You've got a neat little tripod that comes with it as well. Super simple, pops it out. So you can see, I mean, this whole unit, just how portable this is going to be. I mean, all that just goes right in your pocket. So let's run through how to operate it. And again, you'll see how simple this thing is. So here it is on the tripod. You've got your new session history settings and we'll run through that. So just kind of a rundown with it. It's anywhere from 100 to 5,000 feet per second. So most of us are going to fall somewhere in between there. The buttons, as you'll see in a minute, super, super simple to operate. It's called Shot View. That's an app that downloads to your phone. So you've got all your sessions that will be on your smartphone. It's IPX7 water resistance. I actually looked that up. All that means is basically it can be submerged for a short amount of time in water. But for you and I, all that means is if I'm out on the range and it starts raining, it's going to be fine. Nothing's going to be bad. Super compact. As far as battery life goes, 2,000 shots and I believe six hours of continuous operation, which who's going to do that? None of us are going to do that. So the new session, here's what we're going to want to do first. When you first take this out of the box, you're going to go to settings. You get your units. You can see that you get feet per second. Of course, that's what most of us are going to want. So we go feet per second. Display color, you can go and make it white or black. Awesome. Backlight, you can change how bright it is, how light it is. I found 50% works pretty well. Data fields, I didn't use yet. So the pro settings, you're going to go to pro settings, click okay. Projectile weight entry, see how it's off? So when it comes out of the box, that is going to be factory set to off. All you're going to do is push okay, and that's going to turn that on. So now we're going to go back and we're going to start a new session. Okay. And we go bow. Okay. And it's going to ask you to enter the weight of your projectile. So we push okay again. And right now my arrow weight was 422, the ones I was shooting earlier. It was 422. And I'm going to shoot some more of those and you'll see that in just a second. So at 422 grains, or so now I can go across 400, 300, go all the way up or down and go okay. Then it takes you to the second. So let's say we're shooting a heavier arrow at 455. Okay. And that's it. And now you're going to go back and you're set. Okay. Yes. Go, go, go. That's how that scrolls through. And we're going to go back and we're going to start our new session. All right. So let's go outside and let's run a few shots through this thing. So with this Garmin C1 Pro, you're going to be able to chronograph not just your bow, your archery equipment, bow, crossbow. It'll do a pellet gun. It does rifles. It does pistols, slingshots, whatever you want to set it to. But then also the ability to put in the weight, like we showed you, you're going to get the kinetic energy as well. Syncing it to your phone. You've got all your sessions. You can download it in your computer. You can do all that kind of thing. This really does it all. Now I was going to say too, I'm not much of a gun guy, so I'm not going to use this much for that. A friend of mine was explaining, he's got one of these already and he was talking to me about his, oh, I don't remember what kind of firearm he has. Hang on just a second. I'm going to find out. There it is. It was a Fierce Rogue 300 Win Mag with a 22 inch barrel. I don't know what all that means, but supposedly it's very impressive that this will read that speed. So I think when you shoot your rifle, if it's suppressed, if it's got a muzzle brake, a compensator, any of that stuff on there that usually will give a regular chronograph trouble, doesn't do that. It doesn't read that. It reads the speed as it's going out. At a price tag of $599.99, it's not a toy. It's not just a little gadget that you can go out and just grab. If you are into building your own arrows, you're into building your own, you're into hand reloading, you're doing anything like that, you're a big firearm guy, I'm telling you, if you've ever had to go out and get a chronograph or maybe your buddy's got one and you have to set that thing up, it's a nightmare. This, I mean, look at this. It's so simple. It comes with your Garmin, your C1 Pro. It also comes with a tripod that just screws to the bottom, just like this. Not quite this big, wouldn't fit in the box, but it's got a little bitty one. Also comes with a charging port, all that kind of stuff, but highly recommend it. This thing and Garmin, you know, Garmin does great stuff. Always going to stand behind their products. Anytime I've ever had an issue or even know anybody that had an issue with any kind of Garmin products, man, they are all over it. So it might be a little pricey. Maybe go and get a couple of buddies and you all go in together because it's so simple to transport. You throw it in a bag, easy peasy. So again, hey, thanks for joining us today.
