Frequently Asked Questions

How can a shot timer improve firearms training?

A shot timer, like the Pact timer, introduces objective measurement and stress to training. It allows shooters to set 'part times' for drills or measure raw speed, providing instant feedback to identify areas for improvement in skills like drawing and shooting.

What is a 'part time' on a shot timer?

A 'part time' is a user-defined time limit set on a shot timer for a specific drill. The timer provides a start beep and an end beep after the set duration, indicating if the shooter completed the task within the allotted time.

How does a shot timer help analyze shooting performance?

Shot timers provide crucial data like total time and split times. Split times, the duration between shots (including reloads), are particularly useful for pinpointing inefficiencies in firearm manipulation and improving overall speed.

Where can I find a place to practice shooting drills like those shown?
