norbs007 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I have a pocket pro and it does show splits.You have to hold the split button and scroll through the shots. For personal use it works fine and is priced right. Dave Thanks for the info. Set with the Pocket Pro then. I like the PACT IV but got no use for the chrono feature and I like the size of the Pocket Pro. The CED8000 might be good, I just don't like the folding style. Have you guys seen the chest holder for the CED? http://www.cedhk.com/photo.php?oid=110715&type=image/gif Looks awkward to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aXXman Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Note: The Skyscreen Mounting Bracket is no longer available from PACT Now that there is no mount for the chrony, what good would it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Just screw the sensors onto a target stick or something (default distance between them is 24 inches). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run n Gun Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Note: The Skyscreen Mounting Bracket is no longer available from PACT Now that there is no mount for the chrony, what good would it be? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmmm, while they don't look like the ones I got with my MkIV, Pact's site says a "M5 SkyScreen" is available and at the same price too...

ForrestB Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Anybody got anything on the PACT Club Timer III? Pros and Cons please Thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Got one about 1 month ago and like it alot. Buzzer is loud,can hear real good with muffs on. Easy to set and easy to read. Highly recommend it. Good shooting, Forrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9MX Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I agree with ForrestB, PACT III has a very loud buzzer Downside? For those living in closely knit neighborhoods like some areas here in Manila, you gotta cover the speaker so as not to irritate your household and/or nextdoor neighboors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifter Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Hello, Does anyone know of any software to take the RF output from an 8000 and pull it say, into a computer? I am planning on snagging an 8000. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturmruger Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I have a CED 8000. While it is a kind of a new design I really like having a screen as big as it is. Most of the other timers have small screens plus they don't have quite the shot memory as the 8000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie1947 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Does the Pact MKIV come with the battery installed I just recieved mine and the there was a battery installed and no manual Pact is going to send me the manual.

syme71 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 What's the cheapest timer out there? I want to start practicing using Anderson's book. However, I want to wait for the Pact MkIV XP model to come out. In the meanwhile, looking for something that's cheap and will do the job, i.e. has an adjustable par time.

Flexmoney Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I used to have a Timex watch that would do a repeatable countdown timer. I think it was a Triathlon watch. Something like that might hold you over for dry-fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to see if any of my friends has a digital stopwatch to borrow as it's less trouble than the solution I just found below on Saul Kirsch's web site. RU Ready Timer Works pretty good. Luckily I have a laptop to lug into the garage when I practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckbradley Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I havent seen anything on the new Pocket pro II. I know I am selling a bunch of them since they came out a couple months ago. I havent used it myself yet. I still use a CED 6000 and like it very much. Havent tried the CED 8000 either but they are selling well also. I never did like the yellow speed timers, guess not many did either since I sold them but they moved very slow. I dropped the line. I used to have a pact timer and wasnt impressed. Too bulky and seemed cheaply made. Mine broke and I ended up throwing it away. But that was back in the 90's althugh I thnk they still use the same case/body they did back then.

R/T Performance Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I see Brian has the pact markiv xp listed Thought would try to get more info but pact website doesn't even list it yet??? Adjustable beep would be nice what about sensitivity any insiders here?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5-O Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Any reports on the CE Pocket Pro II? How much better than the first Pocket Pro? b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFD Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I thought the folding screen of the CED8000 would suck. After using it for dry firing, at the range alone (clipped on belt), and ROing my wife in practice, I have no complaints at all. I write everything down as well, and the ability to place it on our range "table" with the large screen adjusted perfectly for me to see is a nice thing.

iweiny Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Question on the New PACT XP? Does it do par times lower than 0.6 sec? I am in no way that fast but that is one of the things I see from the manual of the CED 8000 which I feel could be limiting. Other than that I just got my CED from shooters connection and can't wait to dry fire tonight. Ira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 The CED 'start' beep is 0.5 seconds long. In order to have it not run into the 'stop' beep and be all one beep, there needs to be a gap. Thus the 0.6 limitation. I believe there are timers with 0.3 second 'start' beeps, so then you could get to 0.4 par's, but I don't think it's a big deal either way.

Flexmoney Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I don't know about the XP. With my Pact Mk-IV, I recall setting it at 0.55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Jones Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I have a CED 8000 timer and I thought I would pass on a tip that CED gave me. After using the 8000 for a few months I noticed scratches starting to appear on the display. At first I thought it was possibly from brass hitting the display, but actually the navigation keys touch the screen when the timer is closed. CED recommended using the thin, clear screen protectors for a PDA on the screen. I just bought a dozen pack (which should last a lifetime) for the Palm Tungsten screen and they fit the CED 8000 perfectly. I also applied one to the screen of my CED chronograph as a precautionary measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry in IN Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Thanks for that. I got an 8000 about a month ago, am seeing the same marks, and assumed the same thing. I'll put some film on there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alellis Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I find myself in the market for a new timer and so I do the search of Brians forum. Always plenty of good information. So now I have it narrowed down to the CED 8000 or the Pact mkiv. One question for Pact users which will probably clinch the decision. Is it possible to set the par times up to beep 1.5 sec after the start then 0.6 sec later then 0.6 sec later then 2.5 sec later and then 0.6 sec later and then 0.6 sec later. al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Yeah, the MKIV has that-- it's the "benchmark" feature. You tell it the times you want beeps (as opposed to intervals) and it beeps at those times. So you'd set the benchmark for 1.5, 2.1, 2.7, 5.2, 5.8 and 6.3. It's got a bazillion beep modes-- it'll beep on cadence, start a cadence after some delay, 'key' beep some number of seconds after some shot number, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
