Recoil Shot Timer vs ShotPulse

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.

ShotPulse: The Shot Timer That Follows Your Shots Most shot timers rely on a microphone. In busy indoor ranges, they often pick up shots from nearby shooters, making results unreliable. They also struggle with dry fire training, where there is no gunshot to detect, and suppressed firearms or low-recoil platforms often require constant sensitivity adjustments. ShotPulse takes a different approach. Instead of listening for sound, ShotPulse uses a compact Bluetooth motion sensor to detect the movement generated by your firearm or trigger action. By measuring movement rather than noise, it accurately identifies your shots—regardless of what's happening around you. Whether you're training at a crowded range, outdoors, or practising dry fire at home, ShotPulse delivers consistent shot timing you can trust. How It Works Simply attach ShotPulse to your firearm or wear it on your index finger using the included strap. Open the ShotPulse app, connect via Bluetooth, and choose your firearm, training mode, sensor position, and sensitivity. As you train, ShotPulse detects each shot-related movement and instantly sends precise timing data to the app in real time. Track Every Session ShotPulse automatically records key performance metrics, including: First shot time Split times Total shot count Rounds per minute (RPM) Complete session results Every session is saved automatically, making it easy to review previous training, compare performance, and monitor your progress over time. Built for Every Training Style Dry Fire Detect trigger and hammer movement without firing a round, allowing realistic practice without relying on sound. Airsoft & Air Guns Fine-tune sensitivity for low-impulse platforms, including airsoft, CO₂, and air-powered firearms. Live Fire Time only your own shots—even in noisy, crowded shooting ranges—without microphone interference.
