One of the most valuable tools a shooter can use to enhance their firearm training is a shot timer. Whether working to perform a skill within a given time, or trying to speed up draws, transitions, reloads or malfunction clearances, a shot timer allows users to collect data that can then be used to track improvement. Competition Electronics is a pioneering company when it comes to personal shot timers, and the company’s Pocket Pro II is an excellent training aid.
