Timer to Test Yourself

• Timers I use and Want
  • Have a Competitive Edge Dynamics CED 6000 almost 15 years
  • New CED Timer I want
  • PACT Timers are good too
• Distances and Thoughts
  • Point Blank: 3 yards and in – Hits on target and how fast can you go
  • Short Distances: 3-7 Yards – Cadence becomes what’s important to make hits
  • Intermediate Distances: 7-20 Yards – Front sight focus or seeing th sights where they need to be
  • Long Distances: 20-100 Yards – I still use interrupted trigger control. I want to be able to sweep through the trigger
  • Extreme Distances: 100-300 Yards – Need reset and master the bigginner trigger
