    Shooters global listened to complaints. New magnetic mount was released. It has a port to make it considerably louder and the magnet is stronger. $30. They keep updating the software based on feedback and shooting modes. Watch their TH-cam videos before buying to see if it is for you. Ty for this review.

      Yep they are sending me one to try out, looking forward to playing with it. Still, it's seems to be the quietest timer I own even off the base. And I suspect the stronger magnet will make the false extra shot issue worse, but we'll see.

    • @chrisosterfund9784

      Try the silicone case they sell now. I imagine it will hurt the volume (not sure if it is ported) but remove the false extra shots. I don't remove it from the magnet while shooting so I have not run into that as a problem.@@SpecTrain

      @@chrisosterfund9784 Did all the testing. SG is 82db on the old base, 88db on the new one. So slight improvement. I measured it at 99db with no base which is actually slightly louder than the AMG even though it doesn't sound like it. I assume the perceived difference is due to the SG being so high pitched. Kestrel and pact both over 100.

    What I will say is for those who only have access to an indoor range, the Shooters Global seems to be a game changer from the reports I'm hearing. I've just bought one so we'll see. But my pact is just not feasible at a busy indoor range.

    • @calitovegas408
      @calitovegas408 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have both shooters global and I don’t see how they are any better in an indoor range. They pick up every shot within pretty much the whole range even with the sensitivity low. I’m curious why you say they are better for indoor?

    • @cultcirca
      @cultcirca 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@calitovegas408 that's very odd. Mine works for detecting mostly only my shots when the sensitivity is dialed down.
      Granted I request a stall away from most shooters, but it's a small range.

    Very curious about the newer Shooters Global "Go" version, its a smaller timer with a top screen like the PACT, but all the smart app features as the full size $300 timer for about the same price as the PACT (150 I think)

    The PACT timer is not the best for suppressed pistols or rimfire rifle (youth programs) because of shot sensitivity.

    What version of Practiscore were you referencing in the video?

    • @upStomp
      @upStomp 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you read the support pages of Practiscore, you'll see that the mobile developer is a volunteer and kind of a nutjob. Good CS for software has always been hard to find, but this company still lives in the 00's. According to the site, they're still on 1.x. The other "versions" available through the Play store are likely counterfeit.

    Why dont you just put a retractable lanyard with steel wire on the AMG? Use a d ring or similar thing to clip to your belt? It will flop around if yoir running. But if your static it should be gtg.

  • @misplaced_hoosier
    @misplaced_hoosier 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I find the AMG is the best middle ground, and especially shines as a dry fire aid. It works on the range, has adjustable sensitivity for indoors, and it works well for dry fire. Unlike the Pact, the AMG will pick up dry fire, has adjustable volume, and it's nearly half the price of the other more customizable units (SG and Kestrel). You can also set multiple par times which I don't think the Pact can do. It's closest match I think is the CED700, but that won't pick up dry fire, and has more annoying buttons.
    Yes it's a bit of a message in a bottle when you order one, and AMG absolutely needs to be better about that, but it offers a lot of functionality in a small package for a mid-range price. Lack of belt clip is definitely annoying though.

    • @EverythingisFire

      I cancelled my AMG order after waiting 8 months & no communication. It's probably good & probably durable but not worth that shitty wait. Who knows if you'd get warranty support either. I couldn't recommend them. SG's newest affordable timer would be a better choice, in my opinion.
