Of course, Eli and I will be com- peting in the match, but we also have several exciting DAA projects in the works in Rhodes. First - we will be making the official match DVD, and it will be our best ever! Unfortunately, it may also well be our last, as DVD sales have dropped off con- siderably in recent years. This is largely due to rampant illegal copying, which greatly reduces sales. To all of you who bought and enjoyed our productions - we thank you.

Yours sincerely, Saul Kirsch 2 / Double-Alpha Zone / September 2011 3 / Double-Alpha Zone / July 2011 The NEW CED7000PRO Shot Timer In 2006 CED and DAA introduced the CED7000 Shot Timer, the smallest and by far the most advanced timer of its time. In fact, to this day, the CED7000 still reigns supreme as the best-selling timer on the market. Over the past two years CED and DAA have again been working together to bring to the shooting community the next stage in Shot Timer evo- lution. Advances in chip and display technologies make it possible to elevate the simple Shot Timer to a complete, comprehensive match & training scoring tool. We are very proud to introduce the all-new CED- 7000PRO. Of course the CED7000PRO offers all the bells and whistles we have come to expect of a top-of-the-line Shot Timer and so much more: It offers an ROF (rate of fire) tool that allows you to clock full-auto rates of fire or just gauge how fast you can shoot your semi auto. It offers a shot counter that keeps a record of how many rounds you shoot in a practice session, or in a whole season. It offers a full color LCD display, a customized quality keypad, alumi- num front casing, and a wide range of accessories. It even provides a “Simple Mode” option to make all these complex tools vanish, leaving only the basic delay and par settings for those who like it “Old School”... Run Timer Like its predecessor, this new timer offers an add-on RF chip to allow Mode radio communications with the CED Big Board and Score Keeper. And if all that weren’t enough – the CED7000PRO is also the very first multilingual timer offering 5 different languages: English, Ger- man, Italian, Spanish and French. Shot/Session Rate Of Fire Counter (ROF) 4 / Double-Alpha Zone / September 2011 But beyond all these features lies the real magic! The CED7000PRO is a fully functional match computer, allowing you to score and view results directly on the shooting line, and for up to 1,500 competitors! You can create your match on the timer or opt for the easier solution of using the dedicated website, www.ced7000pro.com or WinMSS, to create your match data. You can view stage results, match results, and even verify lists directly on the timer’s color dis- play, or you can upload results from the timer to your PC and view them there, allowing you to The Match Mode print and email them to all. In the “Create New” option, you create a match It is truly a revolutionary product, which will by naming it, adding stages by assigning avail- change the way we shoot and score IPSC and able points to each (and bonus points for disap- USPSA forever! pearing targets, if needed), and enter all par- ticipating shooters. Each shooter is assigned a Wireless IR Printing starting number, placed in a squad, assigned a Division, Category, and Power Factor. By selecting “Run Match”, you choose a stage and a squad to be scored. The timer presents the list of shooters in that squad who have yet to shoot the stage, and shows the RO which shooter is up, who is on deck, and who is in the hole. After the time is recorded and confirmed, the user enters the actual hits on each target by using the scoring buttons on the keypad: A, C, D, M, and P. Each key stroke is confirmed by a prominent visual and a unique sound, so you can keep your eyes on the targets as you walk by and score them . When all hits have been entered, you can use the optional IR printer to print out two copies of the stage verification. Steel Challenge Mode The Steel Challenge Mode The “Steel Challenge” mode works much like the Match Mode in that you can create, run, modify and view results of a Steel Challenge match. The 8 stages of the Steel Challenge are already created for you, and the timer runs you through the 5 strings of each stage (or 4, in the case of Outer Limits), adding up the total and leaving out the slowest run. Of course you can add time penalties as needed while you score. Upload and Download Uploading and downloading match data is done via the Mini USB, which also doubles as the charging port. Through this port you can also upgrade to the latest timer firmware to ensure that you are al- ways running the newest, best operating system. €189.00 5 / Double-Alpha Zone / September 2011 CED/DAA RangePack Pro The new generation of shooting back- packs has arrived, and it is bigger and better than ever! No other comes close! Competitive Edge Dynamics and Dou- ble Alpha Academy are proud to intro- duce the latest and BEST in this style of range bags! €189.00 Backpacks have a distinct advantage over traditional shoulder-strap bags as they distribute & balance the weight more evenly, making them more comfortable to carry over long distances (often the case on large IPSC shooting ranges). However, standard run-of-the-mill backpacks don’t really cut it. While they may be comfort- able to carry, most “Tactical” backpacks do not offer the features and design needed by competitive shooters on the range. Further- more, they do not always remain upright when placed on the ground. The new CED/DAA RangePack Pro is functionally designed by shooting professionals from the ground up specifically for IPSC/USPSA, and IDPA shooters. It is an extra large backpack, chalked full of design features and accessories for the serious shooter. The backpack is designed to stand upright on its rubberized waterproof base, allowing for easy ac- cess to all its multiple compartments. Starting with the large lockable upper compartment, which includes a detachable 7-pocket magazine holder. Additional pockets spe- cifically designed for a mag-brush, hearing protectors and a bottle of Progrip or to store the combination cable lock. There is even a pocket designed for the multi-purpose plastic utility box that comes included. The structured cover of this upper compartment includes a zippered pocket for papers, business cards, and pens, as well as elastic straps for additional tools and accessories. 6 / Double-Alpha Zone / September 2011 The back panel is designed with dense padding to provide support in all the right places. The thick, densely padded shoulder straps are contoured for the utmost in comfort and function even when packed with 15 or 20 kg of gear.
