Skeeter44 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 So is it consensus that the PACT Club timer 3 is probably one of the best ones available atm??? Trying to decide between that and the CED 7000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to decide between that and the CED 7000 I believe the Pact has a lifetime warranty, but I think that may be the only way it beats any of the others. I haven’t used ours in many years, it seems we always grab one of the others instead, but I don’t remember why we never use it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyGlock Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Wondering why no mention of Shotmaxx 2 by Double Alpha in later posts. I had the Sm 1 and its still working for 3 yrs now and counting anf Ive given to my shooter-son, only the rubber strap broke but cannot be replaced so I improvised a strap from other wristwatches. Im on Sm 2 now w/ no questions asked 3 yrs warranty. The things I like are the features that are very usefull to live and dry fire trainings like the Par times, splits, 3 and 5min. countdown timers for dfire, stopwatch to time movers in matches, records 10 Lfire strings for review later, buzzer vol adjustability for live fire while double plugged and late night df in the house, good battery, backlight, and a lot lot more, all in my wrist. Very handy, wearable in all shooting occasions and doesnt get in the way. Ive had belt clipped timers but most of the time they got dislodged when Im shooting in awkward positions and lots of running. If not dislodged the buttons are inadvertently pushed by my body part activating another start beep in the middle of a string/run, etc. Very annoying and inconvenient. AMG is not available to me so I cant compare it. Even then waiting for several weeks/mos. upon purchase is not for me. Maybe they are ok for ROing other shooters but the SM is also good if not better for its handiness sans a bluetooth connectivity.

After some time of daily use I can say its very unreliable. The features are great but at times they cannot be used properly due to malfunctioning button or not recording the times in case of live fire. Or both. Its quite a dissappointment considering the fine features it has that I like very much. They warranty the units but the replacement suffer the same fate. At least in my case.

Twilk73 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Amg commander vs shooters global? Anyone use both and have advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilk73 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Can the buzzard volume be adjusted on the shooters global? I mean for dry fire, I don’t need it to go off at max volume. The answer is yes. Edited November 1, 2022 by Twilk73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunachaser Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I like the AMG commander for dry fire as it can pick up dry fire or racking the slide, etc. This allows you to time your draw to the first trigger pull or picking up the gun, inserting mag and racking slide (unloaded start) as well as other exercises. Also the beep on the lowest setting does not bother others in the house. And at the range the sensitivity can be turned down so other shooters shots are rarely recorded.

Blueknight749 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I purchased a non-Bluetooth PP2 last year and the screen gave out recently. I friend gifted me a CED7000 right as I bought the Bluetooth version of the PP2 and just last month I got to see a Commander up close. Overall, I think the PP2 was more user-friendly than the CED7000 so I like the PP2. I think in the future I'll save up for a Commander cuz you can never have enough timers!

Realize above is from 11/2022 but after talking to GM & B owners of the AMG & their experiences w/ their AMG's @ both Nats & at SC ordered my AMG this past Feb. to supplement my Pact Pro II for both USPSA & SC.

clw42 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Any thoughts on the Kestrel timer KST1000? Seems it's been out a while, but I've only just started seeing them. It's a bit pricey at $299 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRunner Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) @euxx TY for that pic, my current CE Pro Timer looks massive compared to the AMG. Must say when using a buds AMG for the 1st time last yr. in a match I didn't like the smaller size, especially the smaller display but learned to really like how the time is sent to our tablets so no mistake in getting the time recorded correctly. That coupled w/ their excellent reputation in picking up RF in SC pushed me over the edge in ordering an AMG this Feb.

I ordered one and it's on the way. I've also got an AMG on order with the new display. I'll probably keep whichever one I like better. I've got two PP's now, one original and one BT. If I'm wearing my shooting prescriptions, I just can't see the smaller numbers on the screen. I didn't have that problem with my original AMG. Unfortunately that was "lost" at a large east coast match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRunner Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 @euxx thx for the new comparo shot & clearly I was mistaken on the display size of the AMG vs. the PP.

See https://www.amg-lab.com/collections/all As far as I know, the battery life for OLED model is only slightly less comparing to LCD one. I've changed batteries in LCD after a year or moderate use, but I don't have specific numbers for the OLED one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep i have owned one for a couple of years now. They are reliable and have good features. If you read some of the reviews on Amazon you will see the negative reviews are largely people that dont understand the instructions. I didnt have a problem, its a case of understanding the menu hierarchy. Why did i buy mine? price was the main driver, i later found out that it can do so much more than i need, and can be used with all calibers. A guy from my club said there were only used for airsoft, thats absolute rubbish. They have adjustment settings for the calibers i shoot and more. I have never used it with airsoft. and always used it at outdoor ranges. I love the large display, and the price. The price of other shot timers have seriously got way out of control. Here is a review: Edited February 4 by whitepointer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenC Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Thanks for the reply @whitepointer Also happy you have had yours for 2 years and its still working. Here in the Philippines, ROs actually use these in matches in IPSC sanctioned matches. They do seem a good buy for the money. Am saving up to get one and waiting for them to go on sale. More established timer brands usually go for twice as much. Though I would like to get an AMG Commander, considering the shipping and tax cost, I think the Special Pie would do just fine for the price.
