Bullseye Timer

Anatoly Andrianov

About this app

Timer application for Bullseye (Conventional Pistol) competitions and training.
Gives voice range commands ("load", "ready on the firing line", etc...). May be used for a training session or to run a line in actual competition. Shows countdown in "ready" phase and elapsed time in "firing" phase. Supports slow/timed/rapid strings.
Training modes:
- one shot drill (in 2 seconds)
- two shots drill (in 4 seconds)
- continuous "loop" mode

Starting from version 1.5 can control physical target turners (PTTC by Freedom Technologies). More info available at http://freedomtech.duckdns.org/index_files/pttc.htm

Ratings and reviews

It's good, but could use a couple features that would really make it better. 1-a pause and play button during the commands. That way you don't have to start from the beginning every time. 2-ability to make a custom event or the option to change the amount of time for a sequence (ex. ability to change the slow fire from 10 minutes down to 5 minutes). Otherwise it does what it's supposed to.

Solid training app. I use it on low speaker volume to simulate a quiet range officer calling the line. Optional loop feature for rapid fire training works nice.

The commands aren't right. The NRA Precision Pistol Rules gives “Ten shots slow fire - ten shots in ten minutes. Load.” At matches, it’s customarily, “This is a string of slow fire - ten shots in ten minutes. Load.” The others are, “This is a string of timed fire, five shots in twenty seconds. With five rounds, load” and “This is a string of rapid fire, five shots in ten seconds. With five rounds, load.” The app simply gives “With five rounds, load.” That’s wrong or incomplete.
