Athlon Rangecraft Velocity Pro Radar Chronograph ($472)

Athlon Optics makes its move into the precision tools category with the Rangecraft Velocity Pro — a compact radar-based chronograph designed to provide fast, accurate velocity data without the bulky setup associated with traditional systems. Whether you’re slinging lead or losing arrows, this device has you covered.

Utilizing Doppler radar, the Velocity Pro captures projectile velocities from 65 to 5,000 feet per second — covering everything from rimfire to magnum, archery, and airguns. Its small size and cordless operation make it incredibly range-friendly: no tripod required, no sky screens to fuss with. Just drop it down and shoot.

A rechargeable lithium-ion battery offers over six hours of runtime, while a crisp 2.4-inch display shows velocity, standard deviation, extreme spread, energy, and more. It also syncs via Bluetooth with Athlon’s Ballistics Lite app, allowing users to save session data and analyze performance on the fly. Weighing less than five ounces, this is one tool you won’t leave behind. If you’re serious about your shooting, you should be just as serious about your data.
