I just order this shot timer in the last week from Brownell's and used a 10% off coupon. Many users prefer this model over the other Shooters Global shot timer that costs twice as much because this one is louder. Some found that the more expensive timer is not loud enough for them when they are on a noisy gun range. Some prefer the location of the display on this model because they can look down to their belt and read it without removing it. The more expensive model must be removed from the magnetic belt holder to read. Any training that involve more vigorous movement will cause the more expensive model to fall off the mounting bracket. The magnetic hold is not strong enough for some usage cases. The rechargeable battery can go a long time between charge cycles on both models.
The coolest feature by far is the fact that you can record video of yourself shooting and have the timer, overlay your shot times into the video in my opinion
Just got mine. It is nice, only miss a simple steel clip without needing velcro (may come this year) and bluetooth pass through for the beep to headset (maybe never).
We used these at the 2024 NRL22 National Championship Match. They worked flawless. They picked every shot from the 22lr. Though we did have to get a bit closer for them to pick up the Suppressed 22lr but they did it.
i have never competed before and have no idea how those even work or the concept.. i see them in videos a lot.. Caleb should do a Berny style an what and why someone would use them or buy one.. like what and how does it work..that would be cool..then i could get one and look cool?
Shot timers are also useful for those that carry a firearm for protection. One who conceals carries should be able to draw and fire within 2 seconds and with some training just about anyone should be able to reduce that to 1.5 seconds. This time is critical for someone to be able to defend themselves. The key is to look for opportunity when the attacker turns their head in a different direction. 1.5 seconds is the amount of time it may take them to respond to seeing someone draw their firearm. Subscribe to the Active Self Protection channel and their other channel called Active Self Protection Extra. Even if one does not conceal carry they should be able to work toward getting multiple shots on target in a short time frame.
Maybe, maybe not. The USB-charged lithium ion batt in my Streamlight flash lights are going on 10 years, no reduction is performance I can detect. And they get used pretty hard. Also, the internal lithium batts are much less likely to corrode and kill your device than are you-replace-em alkaline batts. That latter bit alone accounted for many of my batt powered devices going tango uniform.
@@practicalplinking6133 Yes, in tens years the current shot timers may be 1/4 the size of this one and have the same price while everything else is double the price of what it is today. The timer could even fit on our wrists. Shot timer apps for Apple and Android phones are available today but the speakers and microphones are not very good on phones. If they were to improve we the apps may worker better.

Thanks for the review!

Hope this is water resistant so you can still use it when its drizzling and not worry about it conking off at you.
Remember slide out pagers? 😂
👍👍
Wait, is Caleb wearing ear pro that is flattening the doo? Now do some drills from IWB.
Schwigidee!
How about a link when you post items you sell.
YT won't allow the links, unfortunately. Probably something to do with the video being associated with guns & gun accessories.🙄
So it’s got a rechargeable battery that will be dead in 7-10 years and I can purchase it again…cool 🙄
I guess you gotta figure out how much it'll cost you in batteries over the same time period for a similar device.
Maybe, maybe not. The USB-charged lithium ion batt in my Streamlight flash lights are going on 10 years, no reduction is performance I can detect. And they get used pretty hard.

You will have spent more on batteries for sure.
Not ta worry, they'll quit makin 'em long before then !!

Booo give me a shot timer for under 50 bucks... Don't need freakin app
Stop tying stuff to my phone. I rarely carry it. It is not my electronic tether and I don't live my life around it.
You don't really need the phone/app to use it.
Steve head to head lol
