What is the current shot timer of choice? The threads on here discussing shot timer brands are old, but it looks like the same brands mentioned are all that I can find using Brownells or Midway. Besides using a smart phone app, is there much of anything new concerning shot timers?
My use is strictly general and concealed carry training, and not competitive shooting. Of the options that I have found and seen discussed, the Pact Club Timer III has caught my attention. It seems rugged and easy to use. Is there any info in this particular unit that I need to be aware of, or is there another unit that I should consider?
I’m not sure if you would be interested, but I utilize a shot timer app on my iPhone. It works accurately and does what I need it to do for stationary drills and training. It was only like $8 or $9 so it might be worth a shot before buying a standalone unit.
I ran across one awhile back that looked like a wristwatch and you wore it on your firing wrist. You could set it to start off of the beep of the official shot timer at a match, set it to operate off of recoil impulse or sound or both if you were shooting in an already loud environment like an indoor range. I don’t remember the brand off of the top of my head. I considered getting one as they were like $170 IIRC but, I went with the cheaper blue box off of midwayusa
In that case I would suggest Competition Electronics based on my experience with their chronograph and friends glowing reviews of their shot timer. Also, the watch I think usmc2014 was referencing is the Shot Maxx from Double Alpha. My buddy ordered one but I guess it takes awhile to arrive as he ordered directly from Double Alpha.
