📡
F-01
Lavalier Mic Input

Standard headphone-style mic jack accepts a clip-on lavalier mic, letting you position the sensor right at the muzzle or on your body — not just wherever the box sits.

🖥
F-02
Dual-Color OLED

0.96" OLED with yellow header and blue body. Results come up on five pages — 1ST SHOT (draw time), AVERAGE, SPLITS, TOTALS, and BATTERY — with times in seconds to two decimals and a battery percentage in the corner of every page.

🎛
F-03
Menu-Based Sensitivity

Hold Stop for 2 seconds to set the sound threshold — tap Start to raise it in steps of 10 (0–500, default 150), tap Stop to save. Hold Start for 2 seconds for a live mic test mode. No app, no Bluetooth, no fumbling.

🔋
F-04
USB-C Rechargeable + Battery Gauge

Runs on a 9V USB-C rechargeable lithium battery — about 16 hours per charge, no proprietary cable. A built-in battery gauge shows the percentage left, learns your battery's real capacity, and gives LOW and CHARGE warnings well before it runs out.

🏗
F-05
PLA+ Enclosure

Custom-designed two-part enclosure (shell and lid) printed in multi-color PLA+ — tough, impact-resistant, and available in multiple tactical colorways. M2 socket head cap screws for clean, secure assembly.

⚙️
F-06
60-Shot Memory

Records up to 60 shots per string, and your last string is saved through power-off — tap Stop at power-on to bring it back. Echoes and ringing steel under 0.10 s after a shot are ignored.

💡
F-07
White LED Indicator

Full status indicator — solid white during the random 3–8 second wait after pressing Start, blinks while the clock runs and it's listening for shots, then turns off when you press Stop. Also stays solid in test mode and the threshold screen. Bright enough to illuminate your bag when digging for gear.

🛡️
F-08
Guarded Power Button

Latching power button lights up blue the moment the timer is on — clear status at a glance, even in bright daylight. The enclosure has a raised guard structure around the button to keep it from getting bumped on in your range bag or pocket. Press once to power on, depress to power off.

Shot Timer MK1 OLED screen lit up

Two Buttons.
Zero Learning Curve.

Green = Start. Tap it to run a string. After a random 3–8 second wait the buzzer beeps, the screen shows GO!, and the clock starts at the default threshold of 150 — tested and working with AR-15 and pistol. Hold it for 2 seconds to open test mode and see exactly how loud your shots register.

Red = Stop. Press it to end the string; your times are saved and the results come up. Tap it to step through 1ST SHOT, AVERAGE, SPLITS, TOTALS, and BATTERY. Hold it for 2 seconds to set your sensitivity from 0–500 in steps of 10, then tap Stop to save.

Up to 60 shots per string, with times in seconds to two decimals and the battery percentage always in the corner. Draw, engage, and let the MK1 do the rest.

01
Clip the Mic

Attach the lavalier to your shirt or gear. Plug the mic jack into the MK1.

02
Set Sensitivity

The default of 150 suits most ranges. To change it, hold Stop for 2 seconds, tap Start to raise it in steps of 10, then tap Stop to save. Hold Start for 2 seconds to check levels in test mode.

03
Press Start

Tap Start. The buzzer fires after a random 3–8 second wait, so you can't anticipate it. Draw and engage — the MK1 captures every shot.

04
Review Splits

Press Stop to end the string, then tap Stop to step through your draw time, average, splits, totals, and battery level.

Made By A Shooter,
For Shooters

Huckleberry Innovations is a one-person maker operation out of Lexington, South Carolina. Every Shot Timer MK1 is handbuilt, individually tested, and shipped by the founder.

The MK1 exists because commercial shot timers are either overpriced, fragile, or frustrating to use. This one is purpose-built, repairable, and honest about what it is: a precision tool you can hand to a new shooter without a tutorial.

Every wire soldered, every bolt torqued, every unit tested at the range before it ships.

// Designed & built by Josue F. Kure — Lexington, South Carolina
Build It.
Fix It. Own It.

The Shot Timer MK1 is open source. The firmware, schematic, wiring, parts list, enclosure print files, and every manual are published on GitHub. Build your own, repair the one you have, or modify it.

Firmware
GPL-3.0

Arduino sketch, v1.7.5. Flash it with the Arduino IDE; updating keeps your saved threshold, last string, and battery calibration.

Hardware
CERN-OHL-S-2.0

KiCad schematic, wiring and protoboard layout, parts list, and STL / 3MF files for the v6 enclosure and an optional USB port plug.

Documentation
