Recoil Shot Timer vs PractAlert

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.

Match alerts built for practical shooters. PractAlert is the fastest way to find practical shooting matches and competitions near you so you can grab a slot the moment registration opens. We aggregate USPSA, IDPA, Steel Challenge, 3-Gun, Multigun, PCC, Service Rifle, Match Pistol, Garand, Springfield, Vintage Military, and everything else in between into one searchable list. • Radar — every match within whatever radius you set, sorted by Recently Added or Starting Soon. Filter by discipline, by clubs you follow, or by "near me." • Map — same dataset, plotted with clustered pins. Pinch to zoom into a city; tap a cluster to see every match at the same range. • Watchlist — bookmark matches and get local reminders 24 hours, 2 hours, and 30 minutes before registration opens, plus a louder alarm at the open moment. Stays in sync across your devices when you sign in. • Clubs — search clubs, sort by distance, and follow the ones that matter. The instant a new match gets posted at a club you follow, you get a push notification. • Alerts — a 30-day rolling log of every reminder and push the app has sent you. Accidentally swipe a notification away or miss it in a busy stretch? Open the Alerts tab to find it again and tap straight back to the match or club. CROSS-DEVICE SYNC (OPTIONAL) Sign in with Apple or Google and your watchlist + club follows travel with you. Sign out and the app keeps a local-only watchlist on the device — no account required. WHAT IT COSTS Free, with a small banner ad above the match list. No subscriptions, no paywalls, no upsells. The ad slot keeps the lights on while we work on adding new sources and features. PractAlert is an independent third-party app. Not affiliated with other shooting sites.
