Guys, I need an advice.
I am looking to buy a timer for my IPSC practice/shooting.
And not so sure which one to go with and what to look for?

IPSC store has got Speed-Timer 3000(RF), and I know most
of RO use them at matches.

Also, where I can get best deal.

Thanks in advance.

I got mine directly from R.U. Ready. Shipped directly home and great service. I dropped my timer on cement when ROing a match, they fixed it free of charge and even modified it to add an adjusting screw to eliminate echo recording when shooting inside or ROing those guys with .38Super.
 
Our IDPA club just purchased 5 timers from RU Ready in preparation for the IDPA BC Provincial championship this summer......Great to deal with and a Major sponsor for the shoot
 
I'd go with the CED 7000, much better timer for practice. more functions, more stuff you can do with it.
 
CED 7000 RF Timer

+ 1 on CED. Very handy and not as bulky as R-U-R timers... about 1/3 the size of the yellow R-U-R timers :D:D
 
I used Jacks timers for a long time and they are great, but for good practice you need something with more functions, I use the Pact MK IV and it is great, a bit bulky, but has all the features you need.

The most important feature a timer has to have when choosing one for training is a true random delay start. It varies the start tone randomly, usually catching you off guard. This is a good thing. Otherwise, with a simple repeat delay, you will learn the timing and anticipate the tone. The second feature should be durability. After that, it's personal preference. My 1$.
 
the CED 7000 does what AlexS is talking about. plus the repetitive mode is great for practicing draws, mag changes, or cadence drills.
 
I have both the RU ready, and the CED 7000. RU ready is great for the range, it's easy to use without too many buttons. I use the CED 7000 for dryfire, you can adjust the par times at .1 intervals, and the 2 mode buzzer volume is aweome for home.
 
Personally I prefer to use equipment from companies that support our sport. In this case R U Ready came to the table for our BC Provincials. The R U Ready product will do what most of us require. It certainly meets my needs.

CED supports IPSC and IDPA, Cowboy Action etc etc. The RU Ready timer costs about the same and does 1/100 of the stuff the CED 7000 does. I've talked to Jack numerous times about adding functionality to the yellow timer and he keeps saying the same thing, "no one wants it". Well people do, and we buy better timers from other companies. Yes Jack gives a lot to the local sports enviro, but that doesn't mean his timer is the best. It's not.
 
IYHO, what one wants to remember is you buy what you need. If you need all the features of a higher end timer then by all means buy what you need. If you don't need all the features then you are spending more money than you have to.

They cost the same, just take a good look at both. I have both, and use both. If you are serious about dryfire, CED. If you really don't see yourself doing dryfire at home, RU ready. My 2 cents,
