Garmin xero question

Before I go and purchase one of these i have a question maybe someone with the Garmin could answer:

Does anyone have experience using this chronograph at a gun range where your next to other shooters? Im wondering if the unit would accidentally pick up the bullets of the shooters in the next booth for instance?

Any input is appreciated
Thank you

Mine does.
I go in early and take an end lane.
With a crowd, I have shot while the next guy was reloading after a magazine dump.

Others say not.
I assume mine has a wider beam. Variations in consumer electronics, maybe.

Still a lot easier than trying to get a cease fire to set and remove down range detectors.

Does it have selection of trigger sources and/or levels? I have labradar that has all those options. Occasionally it mistriggers by nearby muzzle brake, but mostly it can be avoided by tweaking the settings.
