Introduction
Shooting Drills menu allows you to create custom shooting drills and monitor the progress of this specific drill over time via extended statistics and graphs in the Drills app.
You can only create and modify drills in the Drills app.
To learn more about creating and using drills in the Drills app, go to this Guide.
On the home screen you will see:
Selected Shooting drill
Sensor sensitivity
Delay before start
The drill consists of Gun type settings, which are your sensor settings like sensitivity, volume and echo delay. Programming settings (PAR time). And targets.
To learn more about Gun type settings go to Presets and Gun types.
Creating a drill
General setup. Open the Drills app and connect your SG Timer GO.
To create a new drill tap “+ New Drill” to open the setup screen. Customize it or use the default settings.
Choose Drill type: Dry Fire or Shooting.
You can switch between these modes, but only during the initial setup. Once the Drill has been completed for the first time, this option will be locked, and only the selected mode will be displayed.
To personalize your drill, enter a name, optionally add a description, and upload one photo or video (up to 1 min).
Gun type
To select your gun type, open Gun Type and pick one from the list. Gun type defines your sensor settings like sensitivity, volume and echo delay.
To learn more about Gun Types read this guide.
Your configured settings appear in the Timer Settings window. The settings from the selected Gun Type will be applied automatically, but you can adjust them if needed.
⚠️Please note that this will overwrite the Gun Type settings in all drills where this gun type is used.
Programming settings/PAR time
To set the start Delay, choose between random, instant or a custom time.
In “Shooting setup” you can customize your PAR times. It is the program that the timer will follow.
It’s basically the same sets, shots and time limits as in “Free Shooting”, but now you can program each set individually, allowing you to create complex shooting courses.
Before you could only set a shot and time limit, and program the timer to repeat this sequence. You now have the flexibility to program each individual set to your liking.
For example:
Set 1
Time limit is 5 sec
Shots limit is 6
Pause time is 10 sec
Set 2
Time limit is 3 sec
Shots limit is 4
The timer will give a start signal and count down 5 sec for you to shoot. If you make 6 shots under 5 sec, the timer will automatically give an end signal and start counting down 10 sec for you to reset (it will not capture shots). Then it will give a start signal again and count down 3 sec. After 3 sec it will give an end signal and finish the drill, assuming there are no more sets.
This will count as 1 shooting session.
⚠️ For example if you set a 5 sec time limit and 6 shots and don’t make all shots in time, the timer will give an end signal after 5 sec, but will continue to listen for shots for 2 more seconds for penalty shots. The set will not end until you fire all shots or wait for 2 seconds after the last shot.
If you haven’t set the shot limit, the timer will continue capturing shots as long as you continue shooting.
⚠️ If you set both shot and time limit to infinity, you may soft lock the timer. It will never end the drill or move to the next set. Always set either a shot or time limit in all sets. Only the last set may be set to infinity, in this case you can stop the timer manually and it will end the Drill.
To delete an unwanted set, swipe left and tap on the red cross button (“X”).
Targets/stages
In the Stages & Targets window, you can set up targets for your drill. Choose a simple target setup like in Quick Stage or add a fully designed 3D stage where all targets are pre-configured.
Tap “Add 3D Stage” to open the Stage Library, where you can browse and add a stage to your drill. You can also select an existing stage you’ve used before. But this is not necessary, you may stick with just targets itself.

⚠️ If you don’t select the targets, the Drill will be incomplete and will not track your accuracy and hit factor in the app.
