Radar Gun Works Great Mar 28, 2010
Works great on baseballs & softballs. I used the digital speedometer in my car as a test of the gun's accuracy. The gun and my car always agreed to within 1 MPH. The case appears to be very durable - the front end of the gun is rubber armored. I am perfectly satisfied.
Be sure to read the instructions to avoid erroneous readings.

Bushnell Velocity Speed Gun,Gray Mar 26, 2010
Recently i purchased a Bushnell Velocity Speed Gun to test out it's accuracy. I have been in law enforcement since 1985 & i am certified in the use of radar.I read several reviews from customers on how they were dissatisfied beacause their radar gun did not work properly for one reason or another. My partners patrol car has a MPH radar & i decided to see just how accurate a Bushnell hand radar compared with it.I have 2 different speed tuning forks to test my MPH with & tested both of them on the Bushnell as well.The Bushnell tested accurate & gave the correct reading on both tuning forks i tested with.i then took it on the road & compared it against my partners MPH radar system against oncoming traffic & it worked as well matching vehicle speed with my MPH as well.
Although i used it on traffic,it should work on any moving object such as baseball,softball,tennis balls etc.Just remember that these objects are of course much smaller than a vehicle & you must be in direct line of sight to the object to get a true & accurate reading of speed.I would reccomend this particular unit to anyone interested in purchasing one.

Working great for baseball / Little League Feb 15, 2010
Having read the reviews, and realizing that they were somewhat mixed, I took a chance on this gun for my kid. The price was irresistible. After about 6 weeks, we're completely satisfied. You do need to read the instructions...mainly about the need to measure the ball as it's coming towards you. If you measure from the side, you will get the wrong (low) reading. I hold the gun in one hand and catch my son's pitches with the other. Works great...and extremely accurate. Or should I say that it's extremely CONSISTENT? Through exercise, practice and work on mechanics, my (just turned 12 year old) son has increased his measured velocity from around 50MPH to 54MPH, in one mile per hour increments as you'd expect. The gun rarely misses a reading (make sure you hold the trigger down for the whole pitch) and the resulting number is always close to what I would predict from observation. (In other words, the change up really does clock in about 5MPH slower than the fast ball. And, yes, when the fastball's popping, the gun's confirming the higher speeds.) Overall, I'm very satisfied. We only use the gun once every 6 or so practices, but at almost every one of those sessions, my son has hit a new personal best. That's super encouraging and motivating for both of us! I have read that the gun may read low vs. Juggs. Since we're not comparing to any "goal" number or any other gun, that doesn't really matter too much to us. The idea here isn't to end up with a big number we can brag about...it's to improve. In that respect the gun is well worth the $75 or so we paid for it!!!
