Shot timer app for dry fire?

[masterdekoy]

Does anyone know of a timer app that gives a beep for start and another beep after a set amount of time (adjustable to tenths of seconds)? I’m using http://timer.dryfire.ninja/ but it constantly bugs out and I don’t get a start beep or end beep and have to reload the webpage and reset all my settings. Just looking for other options, I feel like this should be fairly simple to program but I don’t have a way to do this myself.

I struggled with this when first starting. In the end I just had to buy a shot timer. Essential tool if you want to practice. Unfortunately, a bit $$.
Good luck

There are several out there if you search for shot timer on Android. Shoot utilities IPSC - USPSA is what I used for a bit.

As longbeard said, none of them will be as good/convenient as a dedicated timer but it'll work if you are just starting out or if you forgot your timer and are at the range.

I have been using Dry Fire Par Time Tracker.

I used Gun Shot Timer by Innovative Applications for iOS until I got an actual shot timer and it worked fine.

Unfortunately in IOS so I don’t have access to the android apps. I’ve tried the one pgt mentioned but it’s a pain sliding the bar to stop the timer. Was hoping to just hit a button to start.

Will probably just just break down and buy a timer. Going to need one anyway...

In the iOS app, if you go into settings, you have to click the slider for “par time” and then set it to however many seconds and then it will beep for you automatically.

EDIT: Oh, never mind. You said to stop the timer, yes that is a little annoying but workable.

So I tried this at the range today. Wow. So much better than what these apps were a few years ago.

i have an older (1990's) CED 6000.

it has a random start, and easy to set par time.

$100, or probably less, at the time. most of the timers i see around and a little over $100 now

Understand where you're coming from, but dedicated shooting timers are the way to go. It is the same as with music metronomes, I have a way better one on my phone, but many times just don't want to screw with it and end up grabbing my old Amish quartz metro. Purpose-built, always works and never lets me down.
