Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph

Newest advancement in chronograph technology provides easy and accurate velocity measurements for projectiles ranging from 100 to 5000 feet per second

 

OLATHE, Kan.– Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced the Xero® C1 Pro, a pocket-sized chronograph that accurately measures projectile velocities from 100 to 5,000 feet per second. Remarkably fast and simple to set up, Xero C1 Pro features a button-operated design and intuitive user interface. Thanks to the new ShotView™ smartphone app, comprehensive velocity data is organized and easily accessible directly from the user’s phone.

“With the Xero C1 Pro, Garmin is proud to introduce a new benchmark for chronograph technology. Combining performance and reliability into a pocket-sized package, this highly adaptable device represents the innovation and accuracy that has become synonymous with Garmin engineering. Just shoot and immediately receive speed data and statistics for that string of shots. Simply put, gone are the days of cumbersome, fussy chronograph setups and missed shots.” – Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales

Accuracy through Innovation

In addition to bullets, Xero C1 Pro can capture velocity data for arrows, crossbow bolts, shotgun slugs, and paintballs – as well as airsoft devices. During a shooting session, Xero C1 Pro will display the speed of the projectile and shot count, average speed, as well as standard deviation and extreme spread after each shot.

Once the session is complete, the unit will provide an on-screen Session Summary including the minimum, maximum, and average speed of the shots, as well as extreme spread and standard deviation. Users can even customize the display to show Power Factor and Kinetic Energy when projectile grain weight is entered. Read more

Michigan’s early-season elk hunters find success

Hunt period 1 proved to be successful for 72% of early-season elk hunters. The 97 state hunters who took to the field over the 12-day season harvested 29 bull elk and 41 antlerless elk, including four calves. Additionally, one Pure Michigan Hunt winner harvested a bull. The success rate of this season is comparable with previous seasons.

The season began in late August and spanned 12 days throughout September and into early October. The hunting conditions were consistently warm, with temperatures above average during the second and third hunting windows.

The early season is designed to remove elk living outside of the designated elk management area, which is primarily the Pigeon River Country State Forest. The second hunt period will begin Dec. 9 for 160 hunters.

What’s a forest product? Tiny particles, massive buildings and more

A rendering of the DNR’s new customer service center in Newberry, Michigan, which is being built using mass timber construction.

Say “forest products” and most people will probably conjure up a mental picture of a pile of lumber.

National Forest Products Week – the third week of October every year – is aimed at showing us how much more forest products can be.

If you don’t think you use forest products every day, you’re sorely mistaken. There’s toilet paper, copy paper, cardboard, craft paper and much more.

Then we’ll move on to that pile of lumber, used in building houses, furniture and other products we use daily. Wood fibers and cellulose, a material derived from wood, are used in everything from clothing (you’ll see viscose, Lyocell and Tencel on content tags) to makeup and some food products.

Because of wood’s versatility and sustainability, new forest products are always being invented. Read more
