Cadence Function:
The Cadence Function allows you to set periodic beeps. You may also set it to begin the
cadence at a specified time after the go signal or after the first shot.
EXAMPLE: Set cadence to 1.5 second interval beginning at 3 seconds
Start by restoring the defaults. Press
MENU
until you are asked if you'd like to " Restore
Defaults " and press
YES
. From the TIMER COMMAND prompt push the CAD ,
YES
. Your
timer will ask you if you'd like it to start the cadence on the first shot , tell it
NO
this time.
Enter the initial delay. This should be the time you want to take from the go signal to your
first shot or click. For this drill enter 3 ,
SET
. The CYCLE DELAY is the time between
cadence beeps. Push 1.5 ,
SET
then the
GO
button. The MKIV XP will give you a start
signal, beep at 3 seconds then every 1.5 seconds for ever and ever.
We see this primarily a dry firing tool but you can also use it for live fire. You might have it trigger
off of the first shot to take the draw time out of some sort of long range "Bill Drill" practice.
Keyed Beeps:
The KEY button activates the Keyed Beep feature. This is a neat training tool that provides the
shooter with a beep a certain number of seconds after a specific shot. This is particularly useful
in practicing reloads.
EXAMPLE: Keyed Beep 1.5 seconds after the 6th shot
Press
KEY
,
YES
. The timer asks you for a shot number. Push 6 ,
SET
. You must now tell it
the length of the delay, enter 1.5
SET
. As with the Benchmark function you can enter
5
