Top tier competitive and tactical shooters will train with an electronic shot timer while performing shooting drills and training on shooting stages. If you want to improve as a shooter, it’s in your best interest to utilize an electronic shot timer. Shooting with a timer automatically puts you under some stress and allows you to effectively measure your improvement and progress as a shooter. Electronic shot timers are therefore of interest to DefenseReview.

While we were at SHOT Show 2010, we ran into Charles Hardy from Competitive Edge Dynamics, USA (CED), and he showed us a prototype CED7000 Pro electronic shot timer (pictured) that’s currently under development. The new timer will be even more feature-rich than the CED7000 Shot-Activated Timer (MSRP $119.95), which the company (CED) bills as “The Smallest, Most Advanced Shot Timer Ever!”.  It will also out-feature the CED7000RF Shot-Activated Timer, which includes wireless remote capability.

DefenseReview will try to get a sample unit of the new CED7000 Pro for testing, as soon as we can. In the meantime, though, we wouldn’t mind running a CED 7000 at the range, since we’ve never used one.

The following is the CED company literature on the currently-offered CED7000 series electronic shot timers a.k.a. shot-activated timers:

“The CED7000 Shot-Activated Timer is truly a breakthrough in technology. No other timer to date offers the combination of advanced features, compact size and lightweight design. This is truly the “next generation” Shot Timer here today!
