Read full description

Archers Timer controls timing and the traffic light for archery competitions under World Archery rules – automatically, exactly reproducibly, and including the prescribed horn signals. Recurve and compound are not distinguished. A TRAFFIC LIGHT, NOT A SMALL ICON Instead of a small traffic-light graphic, the current signal colour fills the entire screen – easy to read from a distance and in bright daylight. Preparation time, shooting time and the yellow warning run automatically, with the matching horn signals for preparation, clear to shoot, stop, and collecting arrows.
