Bushnell Velocity Speed Gun -

I bought the Bushnell Velocity Speed Gun on a whim to settle a family debate over who throws the fastest fastball—and now it's the MVP of our backyard games. This thing is ridiculously easy to use: just point, click, and boom—instant speed readout. It’s accurate, responsive, and works from a good distance, which means I don’t have to stand in the line of fire (thank goodness). We’ve used it for baseball, soccer kicks, and even to clock how fast the dog runs chasing squirrels. It’s become a party trick and a training tool all in one. Battery life is solid, build quality feels durable, and it’s light enough to carry around without feeling like you’re lugging a radar station. If you’re a coach, a parent, or just someone who wants to prove they still “got it,” this speed gun delivers. Highly recommend!

Works best for larger items with no moving parts (cars, baseballs). Didn't work so well trying to read running speeds as it wouldn't read the person's overall position, but would catch the flailing appendages. Found that it reads best when in front of what your trying to read. Either off to side at 20-30° or behind a net. I imagine the type of net or the distance you are behind it would affect the accuracy. Works well, had fun with it reading whatever we could throw at it.

I was led to believe it was possible to mount the speed gun on a tripod. This is not true. There are no screws nor threads nor 1/4” mount to put this on a tripod. I was led to believe it was supported by some reviews or answers here on Amazon but that is not true. I do have duct tape so I will make it work one way or another. The plan I have for this radar gun is for baseball (throwing and batting off a tee for velocity), hockey (shot speed on dry land), and tennis (serve and stroke speed). Tripod would be important for some of these activities to be self-monitored (for example if my son is hitting balls off the tee then I’d want him to be able to do that on his own time). I’m now skeptical about some of the other features I read about including continuous speed readings (again so it can be used solo). I can say that when we used it it seemed easy and fairly accurate and picked up the object (ball thrown) easily so that’s a plus.

I didn't have the accuracy problems others were having. There is a small learning curve with the gun though. I found that you either have to be directly behind or in front of the object your clocking, in my case, baseballs. I bought the case that is sold separately. We've used it at several practices and have not had any issues. It feels like its built pretty well. It takes 2 C batteries that last forever almost. Fits perfectly in my coaches bucket. Try it out. If you dont like it, you can always return it but be patient.

Works great. Only issue I have is when I put the batteries in, after giving it to my boys for Christmas, it wouldn't turn on. I thought there was something wrong with it. Worked fine when I got this in the mail, last month, but would work now. Batteries were good, then started to inspect. After playing with the batteries and the cover, it started to work. I then took the batteries out, and back in, and wouldn't turn on again. Opened the cover and saw a small tab that looks to make the connection on the inside, near the cover. Bent it slightly, put the cover back on, and it worked. Gonna keep my fingers crossed, and hope that was it. Otherwise, this is a fun item, and my boys are gonna enjoy seeing how fast they pitch.

I found this very easy to operate and use, and it appears to work well for tracking car speeds, assuming the car is coming straight toward or away from you. I would have given five stars, but the battery door IMHO has a defective design which makes it very fragile: The door is a small disk that latches into the base of the handle, and has a very strong spring to hold the batteries in place. Maybe too strong: I had left it sitting on its side on a table, and when I came back the battery door was on the other side of the room, and the plastic at the base of the handle that holds the door in place had broken apart where the tab in the door presses against the handle. The device had never been dropped, and I'd used it a total of maybe 15 minutes. I'm going to try some super glue to see if I can repair it, and if not will investigate whether it can be replaced under warranty. Update: It broke again due to stress from the battery cover. The entire handle cracked in the middle and separated from the body (it was just sitting on my desk unused). So that's three different places it broke. I sent it in for repair and they rejected it, claiming that I must have dropped it (which is not what happened). They sent it back to me, I'll have to see if I can duct-tape it together. I would have been happy if they had just sent the plastic case so I could fix it myself, along with a warning to clip the too-long spring. Added some pictures showing some of the places it broke as well as how far the spring sticks out.

Excellent. Precision A1. Exactly what I wanted.

Incredible accuracy.

Accurate and affordable - highly recommended.

Arrived very fast and in great condition. Works very well. Able to test it on a few vehicles to see what reads out, etc. Has a nice finish on the body, sort of matte and softer than typical plastic to allow grip in cold or wet conditions. The LCD readout is okay but I found in bright sunlight it is hard to read the letters ( a minor complaint). The batteries are not included. The Speed Gun takes 2 "C" cell batteries and the manual says they must be alkaline so no recharged. This speed gun is simple to use. Squeeze trigger while aimed at ball, car, whatever, release trigger, see speed in either KMPH or MPH. The gun will display the highest speed captured during the trigger squeeze which to me is handy. The Speed Gun uses a 24.150 (give or take) radar and claims to read a speed on larger objects such as cars from about 1500 feet. All in all, not bad for the money. There is a way to adjust the frequency (that likely voids the warranty) and does require some basic skills to do and it isn't in the owners manual but can be found on-line.
