If you own firearms, especially if you carry one daily or keep one for home defense, you need to train with it. Part of that training includes tracking your progress. In the shooting community, that means doing timed drills. Usually, this requires a specialized timer that registers the firearm’s report for tracking.
In reality, there hasn’t been much innovation in this market for quite some time. Most options are similar, offering just better screens and data. But what if something completely new were introduced? That’s what Walker’s has done. Yes, one of the leaders in hearing and eye protection is now offering a shot timer: the SHOTSYNC.
FEATURES
Equipped with a microphone and accelerometer working together, SHOTSYNC accurately counts shots and records split times, capturing everything from draw-to-first-shot time to each subsequent round by syncing sound with recoil-driven motion.
Bluetooth 5.2 low-energy connectivity connects the device to the Walker’s Link app, where shooters can customize par times, start delays, audible cues, and shot sensitivity, while automatically logging each session into a growing performance history. Training begins with a phone tone paired with a simultaneous vibration from the wearable, ensuring nothing is missed.
User-adjustable firearm profiles accommodate everything from pellet guns and .22s to full-power competition calibers, maintaining consistent data across platforms. With up to 5.5 hours of battery life and a quick 60-minute recharge, SHOTSYNC stays ready for focused, repeatable improvement.
ZOOMING OUT
Unfortunately, pricing and availability haven’t been released. But this is high on my get list of new products. I really like the ability to track and tune your training, and this is the tool to help with that.
