The Past
It all started with an idea that Shooters know better what other Shooters need and want! With this in mind, the development of the CED4000 sound activated timer was born. Through thirteen months of diligent hard work the first company product took shape and was introduced to the market. Since that first day back in 1990 and with the incorporation of the company in Feb. 1991, Competitive Edge Dynamics has grown profitably and successfully each and every year. The company continues today with new levels of product development and marketing achievements, which reach far beyond the sports industry.
