Can someone describe to me the different types of timers used to time your shots .
What do you consider to be quality brands?What are some of the options included in the different timers.
How much should I pay?

Have been using a Pact Mk 4 for years. Functions as a chrony as well as a very good timer. Worth the price.

Another Happy MK iv user here. I was kind of leery, due to the high price but it beats everything out there for usage. It's programmable for dryfiring, and range practice. Has a Chrony and ballistics computer built-in. It is a extremely multipurpose tool!!

PS At many of the matches another brand of timer will break/not work so I whip my MK iv out so we can keep shooting and not fuss with a cheap timer.

Currently, I use a CED 6000. I am very happy with it. The Pocket Pro is cheaper, and is also very good.

I am also happy with my CED.

The pocket pro is the simple one to use and most used at matches. Standard price is $129.
