Source: athlonoptics.com (verified 2026-08-11). CORRECTED FROM SEED: "Athlon Rangecraft" is shorthand for Athlon Optics' actual current product, the Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph (full name used here). Athlon's own product page and corroborating retailer listings (Cabela's, Scheels, MidwayUSA) confirm Doppler-radar sensing (no barrel mount needed), a 65-5,000 fps range, 2.4 in. LCD display, IP67 rating, 14-122 F operating range, 50-session x 100-shot memory, internal rechargeable Li-ion battery, Athlon Ballistics App pairing, and a combined chronograph+tripod weight of 9 oz. A specific stated accuracy percentage was not found on any fetched source and is left null rather than assumed from competing radar units.
