I'm looking for a shot timer. Does anyone have any recommendations or preferences? It will see a fair amount of use on an indoor range so sensitivity to background noise might be an issue.

We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
I use this one and it works well...you can dial in the sensitivity, although I can't remember if I've shot it at an indoor range, since I usually avoid those like the plague:

This one is probably better for indoor use, since you can disable shot tracking by sound and use the accelerometer (or something like that) instead:

The biggest downside for using the Shotmaxx that way is with one-handed shooting, since you would have to have the timer on whatever hand you are shooting with.
I have had a bunch of them over the years, and think they all suck. I use the Pocket Pro II, have three of them, and that way at least one is working.
The great thing about shooting a LEM trigger is you can just you use the second hand on your watch.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I have only used the Pocket Pro II, as that's what everyone I know uses and what my local clubs use.
If you buy one, get it from Brownells for their lifetime replacement warranty.
I also have and use a CED Pocket Pro 2.
I've used a variety of shot timers, the pp2 is the best bang for buck.

kimbers have more issues than time magazine.
They all suck quite a bit. Get a Pocket Pro if you don't mind the size.

Another vote for the Pocket Pro II.
They're around $100 on Amazon, and Prime to boot.

I've been happy with my Shotmaxx wrist-watch style timer. The inertia mode feels the recoil of your shot and won't count echos or other shooters on an indoor range. There's an existing thread, so I won't go into great detail, but the only time it's let me down is when:
1) I forgot to charge it
2) I wore in on my off hand for a strong hand only drill...
So both were on me.
The biggest downside is without the app and smart phone it won't store strings, so you've got to write it down after each string.
Get a Shotmaxx if you're shooting on indoor ranges. If you're not worried about indoor noise, create an E-Bay search and pick up a CED-6000. I've got two now so I probably won't be trying to outbid you now.
