Have any of you played with the Bushnell Velocity radar guns yet? There was a guy at Mid Ohio with one and it was rather neat to see the straightaway speeds for some of the race classes, so I thought I should own one someday. That day is today. I ran across a deal on them through my friend the FFL (where I purchase all of my firearms). One of his catalogs had the radar guns in with the Bushnell scopes, so I ordered one. It reads from 6-200 mph and will clock a car from 1,500 feet away (per the manual). It will also clock a baseball from 6-110 mph and 90 feet.

I need to get outside to test this thing, it looks neat. All I can say so far is that it drives my radar detector insane when I squeze the trigger, I guess that's a good sign.

Basic test, the cars on my road were doing 48 mph (all three) which is about right for a 40 mph speed limit (nobody actually drives 40, it's usually more like 50). That doesn't tell me that it's truly accurate, but it's a good sign that it wasn't showing 96 mph (and since it's snowing currently, I'd not believe it if it did). It seems to have great range as well.

Now, what to do with it???? :drive:
