TriggerLog turns your watch on your shooting hand into a precision shot timer — and pairs it with your iPhone for splits, par times, scoring, and full session history. Replace your $150 dedicated timer with the gear you already own. HOW IT WORKS Your watch has a high-rate accelerometer. TriggerLog reads it. Every shot drives a recoil impulse straight through your wrist into the watch — and TriggerLog timestamps it the instant it happens. Splits stream over Bluetooth to the iPhone app in real time. WHY G-FORCE BEATS A MICROPHONE Mic-based timers listen to the whole range. They false-trigger on the shooter next to you, miss shots when you run a suppressor, and choke on wind, brass, and crowd noise. TriggerLog only fires on recoil running through your wrist — not on sound. That single physical fact rewrites everything that's wrong with mic-based timers. • No false triggers from the shooter on the next bay • Works perfectly indoors, outdoors, and suppressed • Calibrate sensitivity to your exact platform — from .22 LR to .45 ACP to rifle • Immune to wind, plate falls, brass clatter, and RO commands • Always with you — lives on your wrist and in your pocket FEATURES • Stage Timer — random start delay, beep, and live elapsed clock on watch and phone • Par Times — configurable par with end-tone signal for drilling against a hard stop • Splits & First Shot — millisecond resolution on draw, splits, transitions, and total • Stage Scoring — log A/C/D, points down, and penalties; hit factor calculated automatically • History & Analytics — every session saved; compare drills, track PRs, see trends over time • Calibration — live G-meter and adjustable threshold so the watch never confuses brass for shots • Multiple modes — Timer, Par, Countdown, and Stopwatch BUILT FOR PRACTICAL SHOOTERS Whether you shoot IPSC, IDPA, USPSA, 3-Gun, Steel Challenge, or you're just running drills on your home range, TriggerLog gives you match-grade timing without the match-grade price tag. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone running iOS 15 or later • A compatible watch on Connect IQ 3.2+ (fenix 7+, epix 2+, Forerunner 255+, venu 3+, vivoactive 5+, instinct 3, MARQ 2, enduro 3, descent mk2/mk3, and more) • The TriggerLog watch app Stop spending $150 on a single-purpose box that lives in your range bag. Bring your own grip — TriggerLog brings the timer. Privacy Policy: https://triggerlog.co.za/privacy.html Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Golden Delta

Features
Read full description

Golden Delta helps practical shooters train at home and see on video where a stage loses time. SHADOW STAGE: DRY-FIRE TRAINING • A generated home stage: targets, movement and reloads against the clock. • Single drills on a par time: draw, target transitions, reload, strong-hand and support-hand shooting. • Your own drills: a name, a description and your own par time. • After each block you mark the clean reps, and the app picks your next par time. • Handgun or rifle. • Progress: your par time by week and every block you shot. STAGE VIDEO • Two cameras of one run, head cam and phone, sync automatically by the sound of the shots into one frame. • The auto timer finds the start beep and every shot. You can adjust the marks by hand. • Two runs of the same stage side by side: splits, first shot and the delta on every shot. • A stage results card from a PractiScore or WinMSS match export (.cab): time, hits, placing. • Export a vertical 9:16 video for social media, or at full resolution. PRIVACY Videos are processed on your device and never uploaded. No account needed. Anonymous usage statistics can be turned off in Settings. Golden Delta is made for sport shooters. Dry-fire only with an unloaded firearm and follow the safety rules.
