Competition Electronics ProTimer BT CEI-4720 Bluetooth Shot Timer — Built in USA, PractiScore 2 Compatible
The Competition Electronics ProTimer BT (CEI-4720) is the Bluetooth-enabled version of the ProTimer — the same trusted USA-made shot timer platform with BLE wireless connectivity added for PTLink app integration, remote settings control, PractiScore 2 compatibility, and firmware updates over the air. If you're deciding between the ProTimer and the ProTimer BT, the BT is worth the $15 difference for anyone who uses PractiScore at matches or wants to manage timer settings from their phone.
Everything the Standard ProTimer Has — Plus
The ProTimer BT starts with the same proven foundation as the ProTimer CEI-4730 and adds:
- BLE Bluetooth — low power connectivity to the free PTLink app (iOS and Android)
- PTLink app — review shot data on your phone, add notes, attach target photos to each string, and manage all timer settings remotely. Free download, no subscription.
- PractiScore 2 integration — the ProTimer BT is fully compatible with PractiScore 2 and PractiScore Log for match timing and practice session logging
- Free firmware updates via PTLink app — new features and improvements pushed wirelessly; no cables, no manufacturer returns
- 5 par time settings — up to 5 beeper alerts at specified time intervals (the standard ProTimer has 1 par time)
- LED start signal — bright white 850mcd LED fires at the start beep; useful as an alternative signal for shooters with hearing loss or in noisy environments
- 3.5mm headset jack — route the start beep privately to earbuds or hearing protection during dry fire at home without disturbing others
- Increased sensitivity — can pick up the snap of a finger; improved detection over the standard ProTimer

The Repair Guarantee
Competition Electronics will repair any ProTimer BT they've ever manufactured — regardless of condition — for no more than half the current retail price. That means any repair for $74.97 or less, guaranteed. This is the reason competition shooters stay loyal to Competition Electronics timers for decades.
ProTimer BT vs ProTimer — Which Should You Buy?
At $15 more than the standard ProTimer ($134.95), the BT is the better choice for almost everyone. PractiScore integration alone justifies the difference if you shoot sanctioned matches. The 5 par times, LED start signal, headset jack, and over-the-air firmware updates are all practical upgrades you'll use regularly.
If you're primarily a dry fire practitioner who doesn't need app integration or PractiScore, consider the AMG Lab Sidekick ($66) — purpose-built for dry fire detection. For app-based video analysis, step up to the SG Timer GO ($164.99).
