SHOTMAXX, the ultimate shot timer, by Double Alpha Academy.

When fighting with firearms ‘only hits count’, but ‘as soon as possible’. So that’s what you have to train for in the square range: to get properly placed hits (accuracy) on the target as fast (speed) as you can. Your shooting performance is defined by hits and time, accuracy and speed. Therefore you should record that data in order to set goals and assess your improvements.

Measuring accuracy doesn’t take much, just checking the holes on your target when you finish a drill. However, to precisely measure your times (shooting speed, fast reload, draw, transition, etc.) you will for sure need a shot timer. Nowadays there are a few shot timers available on the market but no doubt one of the best choices is the new SHOTMAXX from Double-Alpha.

Developed by Double Alpha Academy, the SHOTMAXX is a tiny (only 2.1 oz) shot timer encased in a watch housing. As with any watch, you can wear it in your wrist at any time in any place. You won’t have to worry again about where you put your shot timer down. No more shot timers falling to the ground from your belt when you run or take a knee. No more shot timers forgotten on the table behind when you need it for your drills way down range at the 7 yards line. The SHOTMAXX stays on your wrist and with you throughout your entire practice sessions, and it is lightweight and convenient enough to shoot with, without it interfering in anyway.

The SHOTMAXX adds new useful features to those found in other shot timers. It functions as a digital clock with a stopwatch, alarm and a 3 or 5 min countdown (useful for range office walk-through timing and to time breaks for hydration, reset the drill, load mags, etc.). It uses a complex shot detection algorithm that analyzes the sound to check if it fits a real shot sound pattern; that helps to avoid any false shot detection from any noise. Detection sensitivity can be adjusted over 10 levels that include a special one for Airsoft. In our testing we found that both gas or electric operated airsoft guns shots were detected perfectly. We have never seen a shot timer perform nearly as well as the SHOTMAXX for airsoft, that is for sure!
