Barms 98 Posted August 6, 2016 Since I'm tired of shooting paper by itself, and after reading the NRA magazine about timers I think that's the next thing I want to add to my training. But then it occurred to me. If I'm shooting at a public range and booms are going off all around me the timer will pick up those sounds. Is that righ? So if my only range is public indoor range the timer is useless right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alec.mc 180 Posted August 6, 2016 Pretty much, there is sensitivity control on it, but I doubt very very much you'd be able to lower it enough just to pick up your shots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

67gtonut 847 Posted August 6, 2016 Indoors I use my Timer for "PAR " times.... I will do a drill where I draw, complete a sequence of shots before the Timer "beeps" again..... I get a lot of my drills from http://pistol-training.com/drills Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barms 98 Posted August 6, 2016 Now that's not a bad idea. Set it for X Sexonds, beep, start the drill and then see if IV complete before next beep Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamM 42 Posted August 6, 2016 You may want a Shotmaxx timer. It can work by inertia too. I still have a couple left if you want one. Look at DoubleAlpha for details on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
