Athlon Optics Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph with Tripod
The Athlon Optics Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph delivers precision velocity readings from 65–5000 FPS with ±0.1% accuracy, suitable for rifles, airguns, pistols, and archery.
Its compact, waterproof (IP67) design and 6+ hour rechargeable battery make it ideal for the range or field.
Featuring a 2.4” backlit LCD, intuitive interface, and full integration with the Athlon Ballistics Lite app, it allows you to track, manage, and analyse your shots with ease and point-and-shoot simplicity.
Important - Designed for outdoors use. Does not work on indoor ranges unless they are huge. Radar chronographs like the Athlon Rangecraft aren’t great indoors because their main tool—radar—has problems with enclosed spaces (think bouncing about all over). If your indoor range is tight and reflective, it’s going to struggle. See FAQs for details

Q: How accurate is it compared to older chronographs?
A: It delivers highly consistent readings with ±0.1% accuracy, ideal for fine-tuning loads or preparing for competition.
Q: Can I store and review my shooting data later?
A: Yes – it holds up to 50 sessions with 100 shots each, and the companion app makes managing your data straightforward.
Q: Is it quick to set up at the range?
A: Very – just power it on, aim it at your target area, and you’re ready to go. It can also be mounted on a tripod for extra stability.
Q: Will it work indoors as well as outdoors?
A: No – While claimed to be OK indoors in practice, on all but the largest indoor spaces it will, at best, function badly and on small ranges not work at all.
So, Why Doesn’t It Work Indoors? In Plain Speak:
-
Radar reflections from surrounding surfaces confuse the device.
-
The signal-to-noise ratio plummets—your shot becomes just one jumbled echo among many.
-
Limited space amplifies those echoes, with no escape for clean readings.
-
The manual covers placement near the muzzle—but not real-world indoor constraints.
Q: What kind of data does it record?
A: The chronograph provides detailed metrics including:
Average Velocity
Minimum/Maximum Velocity
Standard Deviation
Extreme Spread
Kinetic Energy
Power Factor
Q: What are the physical dimensions and weight?
A: Chronograph Dimensions: 3.5" (L) x 2.7" (H) x 1.2" (W) - Chronograph Weight: 4.7 oz - Tripod Weight: 4.3 oz
