IN response to the number of requests for more information about the jugs
gun I am posting this information to the list.

JUGS advertises as a radar gun to measure the speed of a baseball.  If
major league baseball ever returns you will notice a person behind the
batter who tracks every pitch of every game with the jugs gun.
It claims and accuracy of +- 1/2 mph.  It has two settings one which
takes the speed as it leaves the pitchers hand and one which measures the
pitch as it crosses home plate.  The one we use came from our athletic
department and the manual was not available.  The gun has a mass of about
2.5 kg and requires either a 110 V AC power or a 2kg rechargeable battery
pack.
The list price is $1300 US dollars.  We acquired ours by selling 300
shirts in a fund raising effort.
To get a JUGS catalog call 1-800-547-6843

You may want to check with your athletic director as he/she probably
already has this catalog and may be interested in a cost sharing
arrangement to acquire one...
