Remember at the NFOA meeting when I said "get the gun out in time"?

You just aren't going to leave the Pincus thing alone, are you?

Watch out---pretty soon I'll start wearing Walmart-brand MMA muscle shirts, and grow my beard out (the balding part is working out without any extra help from me), and then I'll start talking in meaningless doublespeak that sounds almost like intelligent rational discussion, and never actually give my students any meaningful objective information about their skill level so that they can improve their skills---and THEN what will you do?

Humph!

Besides, NO ONE is more tactical than RICK TAYLOR.

A decent or good shot timer for Android.  Some of us dislike Apple koolaid :laugh:

What size are the targets used in USPSA matches?

A shot timer for Android---I'm not really sure.  Here are a couple I've heard of:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marzig.shottimer&feature=also_installed

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stimer&hl=en

...but I don't have an Android, so I couldn't tell you how well they work.

That being said, for me personally, I've found any phone shot timer works best for setting par times for dryfire practice instead of for live fire practice, simply because the numbers you get tend not to be actual.  In other words, you can use the times given as relative references (for example, to see if you are getting faster), but aren't good absolute references (as in, if you compared the numbers to a real shot timer, they would be wrong).

You mileage may vary, of course.  I've still used them for both dry and live fire---but a real shot timer simply works much better.

I know, I know----free is good.   But seriously, just biting the bullet and buying a CED 7000 or something similar will give you a lot less headaches, and much better data.

(I will say, though, just getting a timer of ANY type (free or not) makes for better practice than NOT having a timer, so excellent, keep it up, good choice!)

RLMoeller:
This one works well for dry practice.   It's simple but functional.  The downside is you can't adjust the par time.  Cost is free.

Doesn't have the features that those Thomas posted, but depending on what you are wanting the app to do . . . .


I agree with Thomas about buying a good shot timer if you are wanting to use it at the range and not strictly dry practice.
