ProTimer Electronic Shot Timer by Competition Electronics - CEI-4730

The Competition Electronics ProTimer (CEI-4730) is the no-nonsense competition shot timer that serious USPSA, IPSC, and IDPA shooters have trusted for decades. Designed and built in the USA in Rockford, Illinois, the ProTimer takes everything that made the Pocket Pro II a range staple and adds a better interface, 50-string memory, and built-in hit factor scoring. No app required. No Bluetooth. No subscription. Just reliable shot timing you can run at a match tomorrow.

What Makes the ProTimer Stand Out

Built in the USA — designed and manufactured in Rockford, IL by Competition Electronics
50-string memory with date/time stamps — review all your shot data directly on the timer display; strings stored in chronological order
Built-in hit factor scoring — after a stage, enter your points down and the timer calculates your hit factor (points per second) on screen. No phone, no app, no extra steps
70 shots per string — handles 3-gun and multi-gun stages, not just pistol
Instant, Delayed, or Random start — full start signal control for drills and match simulation
Shot Dead Time filter — reduces false readings from echoes in indoor ranges; adjustable from .05 to .12 seconds
Rate-of-fire mode — measures rounds per minute up to 1,800 RPM
Par time — set a second beep for draw and reload drill work
Accuracy: ±0.01 seconds
Operating temperature: 30–110°F
Battery: One 9V alkaline or lithium (not included) — standard, widely available, no proprietary charging
Auto-shutoff: 10 minutes of inactivity

The Repair Guarantee — Read This

Competition Electronics offers something no other shot timer manufacturer does: they will repair any ProTimer they've ever made, regardless of condition, for no more than half the current retail price. That means the ProTimer you buy today — or the one you bought ten years ago — can be repaired and returned to service for $67 or less. This is why competition shooters keep coming back to Competition Electronics. It's not just a timer, it's a long-term investment with a repair safety net.

Who the ProTimer Is For

The ProTimer is the right timer for competitors and coaches who want a proven, self-contained device that works without a smartphone. If you run a squad at a USPSA match and need a reliable beeper that any RO can pick up and use immediately — this is it. If you're a newer competitor setting up your first range bag and don't want to spend $165–$300 on a smart timer — this is your starting point.

It does not detect dry fire clicks (use the AMG Lab Sidekick for dry fire), and it doesn't sync to an app for video analysis (see the SG Timer GO or SG Timer 2 for that). What it does, it does exceptionally well: accurately record every shot, review your strings, calculate your hit factor, and beep reliably every single time you pull it out of your range bag.
