Count down timers for the quiver

[whisky]

My countdown timer (purchased several years ago from the laminated book of dreams) has finally died on me and needs to be replaced. I always wanted one of the sort Quicks used to sell, but they did away with them years ago. This suprised me as they looked ideal.

I wondered what everyone else used? I'd like it to be able to clip to my quiver. Any ideas?

(Anyone with a Quicks timer want to sell it?)

you can open the case and cut the wires to the buzzer so it won't make anoying noises when it gets to zero

I use a science lab timer that I got from my last job. It bleeps horribly so I put a piece of paper in between the metal plate and the two contact points to stop that. Big display and countdown, countup, clock functions. I think they are only about £6 new. I'll find out the brand this afternoon.

Just make sure the buzzer does not disturb other archers.

As this is an electronic device, does this not fall foul of the rules for electronic devices not to be allowed on the shooting line?

[grantwomack]

Electronic devices are allowed on the shooting line provided they do not assist in the shooting of the bow... eg. watches are allowed, and they have timers on them.

Ipods, walkmen etc are not allowed, presumably for H&S reasons.

I heard it was to stop 'coaching on the line'!!!
