A kitchen countdown timer from Target/ Walmart will work, as will bundled phone apps.

I thought of that route, but my phone isn't very loud. I thought perhaps someone could recommend a cheap one that has a large display and a buzzer that was loud enough to hear with ear protection.

Audio from a timer is illegal per NRA rules. Go the walmart route, open the back and snip the speaker wire.I'm

I don'r see the value of an audio signal that tells me my 22 minutes has ended. I want to be able to visually monitor the time throughout my string.

I thought it may help with practice, but if audio is a no-no I guess I'll just pick a cheap one with a larger display and be done with it. Thanks.

Rule
3.22 Electronic Devices—Competitors are responsible to ensure that all

electronic communications and audio devices in their possession forward of

the ready line are silenced and communication disabled.


If timers are considered audio devices, they have been given scant attention at any match I've attended. I've never heard them mentioned proactively, or in protest.

That said, I don't see the value of any audio signal as I shoot.
The purpose of a timer is to aid in time management....in essence - clock watching.

Most smart phones have a timer built in

NBRSA won't allow phone use (even as timer) during matches due to possible comunications with target pits. Dont know about others.

This works very good but I turn the sound off. Vibrates and flashes red lights.

Which discipline do you shoot that has 22 minutes?

A typical mid, and long range F Class match is 2 sighters, and 20 shots for record with a 22 minute time limit.
