Kestrel KST1000 Shot Timer

Who this is for
Competitive shooters and range officers who need a shot timer that holds up to regular match use and serious training.
Action Gunner Take

If you’ve ever had a shot timer die mid-match because of a cheap nine-volt battery, or struggled to read a tiny screen while RO’ing in direct sunlight, the KST1000 was built to fix those problems. Kestrel brought the same rugged construction from their weather meters into a shot timer designed with Doug Koenig, and it shows. The thing is IP67 rated, drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G, and runs on two CR123A batteries that last roughly 90 hours.

What actually sets it apart from a CED 7000 or Pocket Pro II is usability. Two separate LCD screens — one on top for reading off your belt, one on the front for reviewing splits in your hand. Five nameable presets so you can switch between USPSA, dry fire practice, and par time drills without resetting everything. It picks up dry fire hammer drops, works with suppressed shooting, and now integrates directly with PractiScore 2 via Bluetooth through a firmware update in the Kestrel LiNK app.

It costs more than most timers on the market. But if you’re RO’ing regularly, training with intention, or just tired of replacing gear that can’t survive a range bag, this is a buy-once solution.

Original price was: $398.00.Current price is: $319.00.

Kestrel’s KST1000 Shot Timer is one of the most versatile, rugged, and dependable shot timers on the market. It features 5 namable setting presets that provide 5 bins containing start delays, par times, and more. These setting presets are particularly useful for practice sessions where the shooter has to switch back and forth between 2 drills with different start delays and par times: set up the first drill in the first preset slot and drill two in the second preset slot, then the shooter can quickly switch between the two. The KST1000 is compatible with dry firing, suppressed shooting, and repetitive drills thanks to adjustable sensitivity and echo settings as well as a start loop to automate the go button. Other features include an extra loud buzzer and easy to use dual screens viewable from the hip or hand. Additionally, the KST1000 is waterproof, dust proof, and drop tested.
