Shot timer???

I think the CED7000 series are the best, becoz they're small, light and have many optional extras. If it's only for self-practice not working as an RO, some of my friends prefer the CED8000 series with the bigger display.

Also a CGNer "Walter Hornby" sells them as well. you can PM him he's a prtty good guy to deal with (just don't tell him i said that) lol. But you can tell him i sent ya.

If you are looking at using one for training and developing your skills go with a Pact Mk IV timer, it's bigger but it has more features, a full keypad, comes with chronograph programming, and stores all your strings which can be downloaded to your computer. I've been using one for over 10 years and I won't use any thing else.
He's very responsive. He made a special version for Action Air (the orange colored one) and it picks up the shots so we don't need stop plates anymore.

I do sell RU Readys, but primarily to stock for local guys.
Nationally, the easiest thing to do is just go direct; they're in Kingston, Ontario.
I have all the aforementioned timers; CED, PACT and RU Ready.
The CED and RU Ready live in my gunbag and come to the range every day.
The PACT has been relegated to chrono use as a backup to my (surprise) - CED.
The #1 choice of timers at matches in Canada is the RU Ready.
It's KISS principle works very well on a stage. It has a quick beep that you should get used to.
The CED and Pacts are long beeps and won't teach you to react to the beep the same way.
The CED's plethora of extra functions are handy for practice, though.
Some of the Florida Open ROs had the new small PACTs (Club?) this year, while an improvement in portability, I found thier start signal not loud enough and quite long.
I've dealt with all companies and had good service from them all.

I say order it from the manufacturer and ask for the model with 0.1 sec par time increments. It is really handy for the dry fire practice.
The new Pact MKIV XP that I have has an adjustable beep and I find even outdoors I am using it on medium. The new beep is much better than it used to be. My older MKIV was a long beep, you couldn't set a par time of .5 with out just hearing one long beep, but with the new version I can set a par time of .10 and hear two distinct beeps. For dryfire at home this makes a huge difference.
