Which Timer to Buy? Where?

[jaycee]

I was just wondering which timers members are using, and what advantages of disadvantages various ones might have.

Also, anyone in Canada selling them, or are people just ordering from accross the line?

Thanks

These are the most common timers in IPSC...and are made in Canada

You can buy direct, or from the the IPSC Store

+2 on RU-Ready.
Have one, use it in CAS.
It is simple to use.
Even an old fart like me could figure it out and make it work!

+3 for the RU ready.

Remember to get the velcro carry case as well.

I use a RU Ready timer and like it, but find it far too basic. I'd like them to make something with instant start (press the button and go, not release the button), I'd also like a longer delay setting, a repeat setting (for using on your own practicing multiple draws), and with that repeat setting a running string that you can review later. I know that these are all options available on other timers, but I'd like to see RU do it, as I think they could learn from the others out there and make it better.

+1!
Other timers are way ahead. It is time consuming righting down times and transitions unless you want to keep strict records.

I like the simplicity and lightweight of the RU Ready, but I'm prejudiced -

Jack, the owner of RU Ready - has always been a huge supporter of IPSC matches in the country and worldwide, so those yellow timers can pretty much do no wrong in my eyes.

I sell both the RU Ready timer and the CED 8000 timer (as well as the other CED products - http://www.cedhk.com/show.php/Object518). PM me if you're interested.
