Athlon Optics
Best value Doppler chronograph at $399.99. Athlon delivers a 65 to 5,000 fps range, 2.4-inch LCD, and clean reads on suppressed and braked rifles for $100 less than the Garmin C1 Pro and $300 less than the C2.
Athlon entered the Doppler chronograph market in 2025 with the Rangecraft Velocity Pro, and on Sniper's Hide and Rokslide testing it lands within the noise floor of the Garmin Xero C1 Pro for muzzle velocity readings. The unit measures 3.5 by 2.7 by 1.2 inches, weighs 4.7 ounces, and runs a 2.4-inch LCD that is brighter and a touch larger than the Garmin's. The 65 to 5,000 fps range catches subsonic .22 LR and air rifle loads that the Garmin's 100 fps floor cuts off. Where the Xero C1 wins is the ShotView app and Garmin's broader ecosystem; where the Rangecraft wins is price, screen size, and a slightly wider velocity envelope.
