Reply to "Caution on Speedtrac and Bushnell radar"

I put the original Bushnell side by side with a Stalker Sport, but at 60' from gun to pitcher (e.g., as you might do working with a pitcher in a bullpen). It was extremely repeatable. It always read 2 mph lower than the Stalker. Forget trying to read anything from behind a backstop, though. Absolutely worthless for that. And there was some technique to releasing the trigger at the proper time.

I have not put the new Bushnell (called Velocity?) up against a Stalker. It is supposed to have a little longer range, but again I wouldn't expect it to work any farther away than the catcher. And its accuracy & repeatability should be verified against a Stalker.

Radar can be useful for working with pitchers. Provided it doesn't become the focus. And it isn't needed at every bullpen.
