The shot timer never lies. Such a common statement in the competitive shooting world, and such a true statement. Anyone can claim to be fast, but a shot timer definitely shows the exact speed of a shooter.
This training tool is a fantastic tool to put your skills to the test and measure them in an extremely quantifiable way.
For those of us who also practice with airguns, Double Alpha has a wristwatch size timer that hears airguns.

My poor man’s shot timer: Hold your hand out straight in front of you, palm down. Place a quarter on the bak of your hand. If you can tip the quarter off and draw and fire before it hits the ground, it’s a good start. If you get 2 shots off, even better.
