Absolutely a good thing. Why are you not a competitive shooter? Do you want to be?

I'll ask another question ...
Which timer should I purchase? I need something for Dry practice and range practice .

I absolutely love my CED. Small, easy to use and love the two level setting on the beep. The quieter setting doesnt bother my dogs as much when I practice in the house.

Yes they/we have senior divisions. Competition is what you make it. Trigger time, competition against yourself, competition against others.


The main thing is that a time has a random start feature for practice and an instant start feature for use with a partner. The timer should also do fixed time. Other than that it is up to you.

It will definitely make you a better/ safer gun handler under stress.
The best reason for coming though is because it's fun

If you have an iPhone, SureFire has a free shot timer app you can download in the app store. I have it and it works great. Plus, you always have your shot timer with you.

I got the CED 7000
I have just gone through the instruction manual and it looks like it will do much more than I need right now
Thanks for all the suggestions

Mine has worked fine for me. Was trying to figure out when I got it. Looking at the date on old digital pics it looks like either 2001 or 2002.
