#POCKET PRO TIMER 1 VS 2 PRO#
Well, none of that is true but if you are in the market for a solid shot timer that won’t break the bank, the Pocket Pro is certainly worth looking at.

I have been using this timer to teach a variety of classes as well as to train myself, and since I have brought it into the mix, my time has been cut by 80% and my students all graduate as Grand Masters. Running a match can get hectic as all get out, so easily accessing the information while lessening the chance of pressing the wrong button is what I am all about. Personally I tend to gravitate toward simple. Some have more features than the control panel of the Space Shuttle and some are pretty simple. The brand name shot timers made today are all quality units but they all differ in many areas.

The beep can even be heard over gun fire so if they are in the middle of a string, the time’s up beep is still audible. Being able to set up a second beep to indicate the time is up really gives students an idea of how much time they have. When using it to teach a class the par time is invaluable. The latter option works perfect when training by yourself. You have the option of starting the timer when you press the start button when timing an event, or you can hang it off your pocket and set the timer up for a random interval. It is also loud, 105 decibels to be exact, and that is loud enough for you or who you are timing to easily hear over hearing protection. Instead of having to press a button a certain number of times the Pocket Pro has specific buttons for specific functions. The Pocket Pro is pretty good size, simple to operate, and the buttons are large and spaced far apart.

We were running a smaller one that hung around your neck and it worked great but was small, the buttons were close together and the screen was small.Īs you can see the screen is plenty large and easy to read. I started using the Competition Electronics Pocket Pro about six months ago and I have really begun to favor it over the other one we were using in class. Now days “there’s an app for that”, but honestly that is not an ideal set up. Whether you are trying to get better for your local matches or get more competent with your self defense pistol a quality shot timer is a must. I bought a Competition Electronics ProChrono chronograph around 1996 and it is still going strong so I have faith in the brand so I looked into their Pocket pro shot timer. I have used a few different shot timers over the years attempting to get “just a little faster” and still get accurate hits on target. Competition Electronics, Pocket Pro shot timer
