Whether you're running IPSC, USPSA, IDPA, tactical drills or dry fire at home, ITP gives you what you need to train smarter and shoot faster. Key Features ● Precision Shot Detection – Accurately detects shots in dry fire and live fire sessions. ● Pre-Timer Delay – NEW. Set a fixed delay from 0 to 60 seconds, or go random for an unpredictable start. Train real reaction time, not anticipation. ● Par Timer Mode – Set custom par times to sharpen draws, transitions, reloads and drill consistency. ● Series Training Mode – Build and run multi-stage sequences with preset intervals for structured sessions. ● Split Time Tracking – See the time between every shot, instantly. ● Adjustable Sensitivity – Tune microphone sensitivity from 0% up, for quiet indoor dry fire or loud range sessions. Your setting stays saved between sessions. ● Real-Time Display – Total shots, split times, first shot time and best split, at a glance. Optimal Device Positioning For the most accurate detection, place your device so the bottom microphone hangs slightly over the edge of a table or shelf. Don't lay it flat, since that can block sound input and reduce accuracy. Start training like a pro. Download ITP and push your performance. Extcon Group Innovating Training. Improving Performance.

The most advanced par timer for dry-fire practice — you control the voice commands, delays, par times, shot cues, and progression, and drill against the beep to build speed and consistency from home. Par Timer delivers the timing cues you configure through on-screen display, sound, and vibration, so you can run structured dry-fire drills anywhere. Every part of the sequence is yours to set, from the delay before the start signal to how your par times tighten across sets. Note: this is a par timer, not a shot timer. It plays the timing cues you set and you train against them — it does NOT listen for or detect your shots, in dry-fire or live fire. There is no microphone-based shot detection. Key features: • Turn voice commands on or off — hear "Are you ready? Stand by" before each string, or run beeps only • Set the delay before each string of fire to a fixed time, a random range so you can't anticipate the start, or turn it off • Set the par time for the string and the number of strings in a run • Progressively decrease par time across sets with acceleration — either reaching a target time by the final set, or reducing by a fixed amount each set • Add shot cues within the string to practice splits and specific shot cadence • Add or disable reholster time between strings to set your own pace between reps • Get every cue by display, audio, and vibration — toggle audio and haptic cues independently for quiet or vibration-only practice • Review a full history of every run, with a training activity map showing how consistently you practice over time Pro upgrade (one-time purchase): • Save, load, edit, rename, and delete presets for your drill setups • Reload and repeat any past run straight from your history Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://gunzncoffee.com/partimer/privacy-policy/
