Construction and Design
The Competition Electronics Pocket Pro II is very similar to the original Pocket Pro. However, it has more features and abilities to modify it to your liking than the original Pocket Pro. The device comes with a backlit screen to make it easier for you to see the shot timer’s readings. It lets users view and compare their performance at once through shot counts, times, and splits.
The sensitivity of the device can be adjusted to prevent the timer from picking up other shots or missing your shot completely. The unit’s internal memory is capable of storing up to 100 shots at a time. Competition Electronics have modified the shape of the Pocket Pro II to make it easy to operate. They have rounded the edges of the shot timer to avoid snags on your shirt or clothes.
Performance
It is one of the most advanced and accurate shot timers in the industry. It may not be ergonomically designed, but it is lightweight and conveniently shaped for ease of use. The unit’s buttons have been adjusted to make it easier to adjust your display screen without losing your focus. The display of the unit helps showcase shot times and numbers. The shot timer lets you compare individual counts on your screen instead of writing down individual counts for comparison, thus saving you time at the range.

Conclusion

It provides you with important features that you need to improve your shooting skills. The design of the shot timer could have been improved to make it lighter and smaller, but it is still a great device that can be excellent for practicing shooting at a range. This is considerably one of the best shot timers for beginners or one of the best budget shot timers as I shared in the previous post here.
It performs well and is therefore ideal if you are not concerned about its size and design. We hope that the review was informative and helpful in making a decision on whether to buy it or not.
