Thanks all. I have made my decision. I really only have two main needs of a shot timer. 1) I really need a training timer that I can use both indoors and outdoors. My closest outdoor range is an hour away so sometimes i just want to practice some double taps at the local indoor range. 2) I also need to practice dry fire and draws at home. Therefore, I have purchased the Shotmaxx Timer. This will work for those two main needs. When I go to the two outdoor ranges that I shot at several times a month and rent one of the practice bays, I will borrow one of their devices. Good luck to all and thanks again for the feedback. Cheers, James

Thanks for the additional responses. I purchased the PP2 and I go tit in the mail yesterday but I don't think I will keep it. I do not like the menu and the buttons because they remind my of a prehistoric electronic device on a toy from the '80s! Having to scroll through the menu to get back to the timer screen is just plan ole' stupid. And before purchasing I didn't realize I could not use it for dry fire practice at home, and no count down. So, I think I will return it. CED 7000 or ShotMaxx...? My biggest need at this point is dry firing at home. Want to practice my draw etc. I will also use it at the range on days when I get a bay to run basic drills. 1) Do both of these devices accommodate DRY FIRE practice? 2) Can the ShotMaxx set Pars easily? 3) What are the differences between the CED 7000, 7000pro, & 8000 models? 4) Can the Shotmaxx countdown? 5) How is the ShotMaxx battery life? Thanks!

Thanks for the input. I was leaning towards the Pocket pro until I watch a video with Keonig who was using one. But now, after some further research I see that the CED has a lot of software features that I will not use, stuff for matches etc, and so I think keeping it simple would be better for my practice. I don't need to be scrolling through a bunch of extra features to get to the two I might used for example. Like you Sarge, I also like the fact that a 9v is all ya need. Thanks bud

I am looking to buy a shot timer but I am not sure which one is the most accurate and best for training etc. I looked at the original thread about shot timers, which was started in 2001, and I had to start this new thread because it seems there should be more and new relevant information since then. Which one is th best? I am leaning towards the CED7000. Any comments from people who have experience with any shot timers would be appreciated. But I am have ing difficulty finding info on the CED as to wether it can countdown for practicing dry fire draws and such. Also, is there any problems reading the color screen in bright sunlight? Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

Why is the PACT timer better than the CED7000? Thanks!
