Our History

Competition Electronics was founded in 1982 by an electrical engineer with a passion for shooting sports who recognized the need for something more effective than a stopwatch for scoring matches.

 

The Pro Shot timer was our first design, revolutionizing the way shooters could measure their gun handling ability. Soon after, the Pro Tach ballistic chronograph was released which enabled reloading enthusiasts to measure the performance of ammunition components. Airgun and archery users also found the chronograph useful. These two products were among the first of their kind.

Another milestone for Competition Electronics came in the late 1980’s when battery chargers, cell matching systems, and electric motor dynamometers were introduced to the electric R/C car racing market. Again, personal interest in the sport gave the development team the motivation to create specialized products that were at the forefront of technology.

Today we are still producing quality products that are affordable, serviceable, and made in Rockford, IL. Our goal is to make practical devices that are useful for many years to come and adapt them to new technology when it is of value.
