Get'em Duck Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The new guy is looking to pick up a shot timer to practice with. Right now I'm looking at the CED 7000 anyone using this unit if so what do you think. If your using something else what is it and how do you like it? Thanks ~Get'em Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm looking at the CED 7000 anyone using this unit if so what do you think. If your using something else what is it and how do you like it?Thanks ~Get'em Duck I bought my first timer less than a month ago. I bought the CE Pocket Pro II from Shooters Connection. It is American made and has a good track record. A lot of the guys on here really like the CED 7000. Evidently you can use headphones for dryfire with the CED, which my wife would have preferred. I am really happy with the Pocket Pro II and would probably buy it again all things considered. It uses 9volt batteries instead of a rechargeable battery, which I thought was a positive since I have a bazillion electrical items charging in most of my outlets already. The battery life on the Pocket Pro seems good so far...... There is a monster timer thread in the accessories area and a search will bring up several other threads.

h2osport Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I run the CED7000. It is a great timer. The signal is a beep, and the signal on the Pocket Pro is more of a buzz. Something to think about if you have hearing issues. The 7000 will also store strings which is nice. Either one are good timers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get'em Duck Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yeah, I've read the other post, that is what got me to looking at the 7000, was just lookin' for that last bit of info to seal the deal before purchasing. The head phone deal would be a plus since i live in a small house.......Thanks guys ~Get'em Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzygä Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 CED 7000 is great but when you use headphones for dryfire with the CED only the start beeb is quiet (comes from your headphones) and the bar beeb is normal (comes from the timer not from the headphones). That how it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) CED, Pact or Competition Electronics. Buy with confidence. Jim EDIT: if you reload (you will eventually) look close at the Pact as it makes great timer that doubles as a chronograph.

Get'em Duck Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks for the posts, Chrony is not and issue as I already have one of those for the rifle so just looking at a good timer that is compact and user friendly. Anyone use the wrist band or belt loop for the CED 7000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started with the wrist band first, though it's okay I find it a little awkward having something that big on my wrist. Switched to the rotating belt loop and it's kosher.

L9X25 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I think the wrist band is nice because it places the timer close enough to the gun that it can usually pick up an airsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriss044 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have the CED 8000, but wish I had the 7000. The only thing bad I have heard about the 7000 is problems with the battery. That being said I also heard the company make it right for the ones that go bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get'em Duck Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 I would definitely pick up the battery pack to be able to use standard batteries as a back up...Thanks guys for all your help ~ Get'em Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepper Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 There is a great deal on eBay for CED 7000s. $80.00 plus $6.00 shipping. Do a search on CED 7000. I got one from him last week. As of Sunday AM, there was only six left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockcomma Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 A little target tape over the speaker on the Pocket Pro while dry firing will make them wife friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigpops Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Which one is easier to see the numbers on the screen? I have the Pocket Pro II and it can be a PITA sometimes due too the small size of the letters and numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said I also heard the company make it right for the ones that go bad. I have the CED 8000 as well and it works well, but I should have gotten the 7000. It's just too bulky with the clamshell design for practice sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
