Kestrel Ballistics KST1000 Shot Timer

Known for its innovative ballistics meters and weather gauges, Kestrel is now expanding with its first-ever shot timer in the KST1000. Designed to be the most rugged shot timer available today, this USA-made product features two screens that can be seen easily from inside the hand or when clipped onto a belt.

The extra-loud buzzer means it’ll be heard clearly, even on a busy range, and the waterproof, dustproof housing ensures it’ll handle any kind of environment. The unit is Bluetooth Link-enabled, features five setting presets and has been drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G standards.

Suggested retail price is $299. For more information, please visit kestrelballstics.com.
