The Shield (for Garmin Xero Chronograph)

Not very often do I think of a product that I need for a very specific problem that someone develops a solution for. In this case, BowBars nocked it out of the park. I use my Garmin Xero C1 Pro chrono for both archery and rifle. When I use it for archery I get arrow speeds out of my bow and then again at 60 yards to develop sight tapes. Shooting over a fragile piece of equipment with an arrow at 60 yards is a little nerve racking. I was setting up a shooting block in front of my Garmin to avoid hitting it in the event I made a terrible shot. The BowBars shield takes the worry out of me inadvertently ruining something worth >$500. It is extremely well made, will easily stop an arrow of any speed or weight, and very easy to use. Thanks for building such a useful and well made product.

Only recommendations would be to make the threaded hole in the bottom of the plate 3/8” instead of 1/4” and include a threaded reducer that someone can install is seconds. This way the plate can be used with both 3/8” and 1/4” tripod screws. Second would be to put a threaded hole in the bottom of the half of the quick release plate so that you could leave it mounted to your Garmin and still use the little Garmin tripod without taking the quick release off.

Smart idea, well executed. I particularly like the quick release attachment for the Chronograph.

Inexpensive way to protect investment in your chrono. Allows shooters to get more down range chrono data without fear of wrecking it.

The Shield is a great product to protect the Garmin chronograph. Heavy gauge steel that covers the front of your chronograph from potential hits from arrows or other flying objects. If using for the precision cut archery sight tapes it’s a must!

Great deal for what you get. I would still buy this if it was double the price.
