Recoil Shot Timer vs Blast Buddy

Time drills with your Apple Watch and track performance on your phone. Our recoil-driven, AI-powered app succeeds where traditional acoustic timers fail, giving you the ability to confidently time shots next to other shooters, in the rain, and with suppressed firearms. Track every shot. See every split. Your data is yours, forever. Easily view shot times from your watch as you're training. Dive deeper post-practice and view shot stats on your phone including number of rounds fired, fastest draw, and fastest split for any given day or period. You can also view stats by weapon type (pistol or rifle). Recoil Shot Timer was developed in partnership with the Office of Naval Research as part of the Joint Marksmanship Assessment Package for the Marine Corps. Trained with over 20,000 shots from hundreds of Marines and civilians, Recoil has become a fully functional shot timer with remarkable accuracy. Works best on centerfire rifles and pistols.
