Are any of you running a stop watch during stages? I want to but can't come up with a good location for one. Seems like one on my wrist won't be accessible with a rifle in one hand and a bag in the other. And I already have a data card hanging off one side of my scope,not that I use it for every stage, but it gets used quite often. Thoughts? I hate timing out stages!!!!
Stage timers?

Do you have any kind of smart watch with timer or a standard old Casio with stopwatch?
I’d think a watch is about the easiest and out of the way item you could have.
You should be able to call for time as well while shooting a stage.
Either way you should spend time practicing g with your chosen timer and see how long it takes you to shoot a given stage of some kind or another.
Once you have somewhat of an idea how long it takes you, you will have the ability to know if you can execute a stage in the given time.
If you think timing out is going to happen, game the stage so you leave your hardest positions for last.

Yeah I just looked it up, guess I remembered wrong.
I have not seen a pic rail mount version of one then.
I found a cheap Wal-Mart watch with the timer button on the front face. It's a little weird to hold the rifle+ bags\equipment and press the button, but its do-able. I wear it on my support hand. Worked well enough this past weekend at a match here in Florida. My first top 10 finish! of 54 shooters
