Kestrel Ballistics Announces New Firmware Update for KST1000 Shot Timer

BOOTHYWYN, PENNA. — Kestrel® Ballistics, a leading provider of precision shooting technology, is excited to announce a new firmware update for the KST1000 Shot Timer. With this latest update, users can now integrate the KST1000 directly with the PractiScore 2 App, eliminating the need for manual time entry and streamlining match operations.
This new functionality enables shot strings recorded on the KST1000 to portal automatically into PractiScore 2, offering competitive shooters, match directors, and range officers a faster, more accurate way to capture and organize shooting data.
The integration marks a significant advancement in match scoring efficiency, reducing human error and saving valuable time at both local matches and large-scale competitions.
“At Kestrel Ballistics, we know that precision matters, not just on the range but also how matches are run and scored,” says Katie Godfrey, Strategic Global Account Executive at Kestrel Ballistics. She continues, “That’s why we’re excited to partner with PractiScore, the gold standard in match management and scoring software.”
The firmware update is available now and can be easily installed by KST1000 owners through the Kestrel Ballistics LiNK app. Once updated, users simply pair their KST1000 Shot Timer with their device running PractiScore 2 and enjoy integrated time syncing.
“Together, Kestrel and PractiScore are raising the bar for what modern shooting sports can be—accurate, efficient, and effortless,” says Godfrey.
