Two comments on two very different companies. Baer solutions: fantastic, took a class and was awesome. AMG labs: avoid at all costs. Ordered a timer 7 months ago and have heard nothing, despite multiple emails... email being the only contact method they publicly provide. Even if I did ever receive a timer, I can’t imagine having to deal with them if there was an issue.

Can confirm. I actually finally got my timer.....I can't even count how many months after. Super late. The timer is actually great...really easy to use. Customer service, particularly communication, is absolutely abysmal. I'd rather buy 2 other "inferior" timers within the same timeframe or shell out for the Kestrel than buy another AMG.

Everyone should be training 50%-80% of their rep's with dry fire and air soft. In my experience, the Global and Commander have the sensitivity to pick up the hammer/striker drop. The other two do not. Depending on the phone used, the Ipsc app will also register dry fire if adjusted correctly, however, the app timers have some limitations.

As a frequent visitor to indoor shooting ranges, I've experienced the limitations of sound-based shot timers firsthand. That's why I've decided to work on developing a trigger sensor, which will provide a more reliable and personal solution for tracking shooting times in environments like these. More testing on a variety of weapons in the next two weeks. It shall complement existing shot timers

The SG timer looks really interesting. Is there a way to have the phone app store all the data from a training session so I can review it later (without using the video function)? Currently, my range sessions take twice as long because I write down my times and splits for almost every rep of every drill. Also, it looks like the SG timer’s delayed start can’t be randomized? That’s a major bummer.

I ordered and paid for the Commander 1-6-23. I recieved it in the middle of this January, 2024. I repeatedly contacted the maker with🎉 no response. Last fall, he finally said he had delays in sourcing needed chips, etc.. This is probably true considering the shortage of electronic components recently, but, I gave up on ever getting it. So, when the SG TIMER GO came out, I ordered it. I received it fairly quickly, but, there were no operating instructions from any reliable source. I contacted the company and they said they had not completed any instructions. Finally, they produced a pretty good instructional video in January 2024. Each of these were about $150. Now, I have two high-quality timers to spend many hours with trying to learn how to use them. Based on what I know so far, I believe I will find that one will be good at some things while the other is better in different areas. We'll see.

Not necessarily. I don’t currently own a shot timer and I can run pretty much all of my guns better than most shooters.

@EuropaChronicles Жыл бұрын

@@ethanmccracken6489 lol. You shoot competitions and train with several hundred rounds per week and you don’t use a shot timer? Sounds like your training is unfocused trash. It’s like being a competitive runner and saying that you don’t time your tempo runs or intervals. How do you gauge improvements during live and dry fire? How do you know where to focus your efforts in training to shore up discrepancies? If you aren’t timing yourself during training, you’re pissing into the wind. Serious question: what do your typical dryfire and livefire training sessions look like? How do you know if the dryfire training is carrying over to livefire performance if you aren’t recording times and points?

@ethanmccracken6489 Жыл бұрын

@@EuropaChronicles I’m not saying I don’t have experience on a timer. They use them in pretty much all of the competitions I’ve competed in, so I do gather data when I compete. I can distinguish bad runs from ok runs to good runs based on the amount of reps I do each week. Is it a perfect science? No. But it’s good enough to get me wins and placements if I don’t win. Now to your question regarding my dry fire drills. I use dry fire drills mainly to keep my draws and reloads sharp and consistent. Since I shoot every week, live fire is where I really practice things like shot placement, cadence of fire, control, and trigger resets. I do plan on buying a shot timer soon so I can track things during training more accurately, but don’t assume that someone whom you’ve never shot with has trash training. I guarantee you if we went to the range together, your opinion of my abilities would change. The only shooting sport I don’t have much experience in is PRS, and I’m starting to become more involved in that now as well since I just got a membership to a 1000 yard range a week ago.
