When it comes to firearms, training is important. Whether it is competition shooting or doing drills for your own benefit, a shot timer offers some benefits. Training under the pressure of a timer helps to improve your skill and reaction time. It’s extra helpful to have a quality piece of equipment, say one from a company known for its high-quality ballistic devices like Kestrel Ballistics.

Kestrel Ballistics, a maker of high-quality ballistic equipment, has added the KST1000 Shot Timer to its list of products. This durable, versatile, water- and dust-proof unit is made in the USA.

The KST1000 Shot Timer by Kestrel Ballistics is the most versatile, rugged, and dependable shot timer available, according to the company. Backed by a 5-year warranty and made in the USA, this timer won’t quit.

Patti Miller is one of the most awesome females in the tactical/firearm (or any) industry. Imagine a tall, hawt, dangerous Laura Ingalls Wilder type with cool hair and a suppressed blaster and you’ll be getting the idea. What’s interesting is that in addition to being a willing brawler and intrepid adventuress, she’s also an Ent/Ogier level gardener and a truly badass baker.
