shot timer preference

[hog slayer]

My old competition works blue body is a fair weather training baby. She finally had enough of my shooting in the rain and has called it quits. Any preference in shot timers and why?

I still lean to the CED 7k.
Search for shot timer and my username and I'm sure you'll find lots of threads with "why"

You are late, but appreciated Ryan. My CED 7k should arrive today. I do look forward to the compact size. I'll dig up your threads and posts to see what I learn.

Thanks again.

no shot timer from the UPS man today. well, I guess its more accuracy shooting tomorrow... again. I got hooked on my blue body. Used it nearly every session.

You will love the CED7000. I got one for Christmas last year and I really like it. Buy the cover for it if you haven't already just a extra measure in case you drop it. -Jason

I didn't realize that I needed a bent clip for it until I started reading what Ryan wrote in previous pages. I've got a cover and belt clip in my cart.

comstock, repetitive, combined

What's all this? Should I care?

Oh yeah, it arrived today! Woohoo!

The CED 7k is great but I hate that it does not have a spring clip like other timers. I'm going to try pinching the metal together to be more secure on my pants pocket. If that doesn't work, it may be assigned to dry fire only and I'll pick up a different timer for live fire.

I bent mine to hold the pocket better. Worked good actually on the belt as it came. I've thought about sticking some Velcro in the clip to hold better...

comstock would be your typical timer use. Whether you use the other modes depends how you plan to use it... I use repetitive a lot when I dryfire.

I'm getting a shot timer soon and it seems the 2 top options from what I've read here are the CED 7000 or CE Pocket Pro (II). It appears the former you must buy a clip and unless you're going to clip it on your belt (why wouldn't you?) that it may not hold on too well. I also read it doesn't like rain, and I'll pretty much only be using it outdoors. Thus, I'm leaning toward one of the Pocket Pros and see those used in many videos, however, the CED 7000 is lighter and you can see more on the screen.

Anything else I should know about either choice?

i would have thought you would be fine with a quality sun dial

Except you can't count on sunny (or even partly cloudy) skies living here. Perhaps calculating the rate of flow into a rain gauge... hmmm.

I use a CED 7000. I’m about 4 years in to it and haven’t had any issues. I bought a case and belt clip with it as a package and that brought the price to around $130. Battery life has been strong - I usually leave it in my range bag and charge it on the way to the range. I’ve been able to go multiple 2 hr range trips before the battery needs to be charged back up. No complaints from me. YMMV.

I use the Make Ready app on my IPhone 8Plus. I have yet to see any errors throw it on a belt holster and your good to go! I think I paid $2.99 for the ad free version/enhanced log.
