About arenagear

Who we are

ArenaGear is a family-owned and operated company based in McKinney, Texas. Founded in 2007 by Andrew Cila Ph.D. primarily for the development of electronic horse-cutting training systems for a large local OEM. 

In 2015 Andrew developed the ArenaGear Timer out of frustration of not being able to always hear his and his wife's time announcements during Cowboy Mounted Shooting events. He wanted a system that would broadcast the results directly to his (and everybody else's) phone and that could be used when practicing alone, in small groups, and on competition. 

Andrew's 3 degrees in Electrical Engineering and over 30 years of experience designing laser-guided missile guidance systems for the US military allowed him to make a superior product that not only broadcasts the time to smartphones but also surpassed existing products on precision, battery life, price, and range.

Soon after he started bringing his timer to practices, the Barrel Racing community got interested and asked Andrew to make the timer available for purchase on the internet. 7 years later, ArenaGear is now one of the largest manufacturers of timing gates in the United States and a #1 Best Seller on Amazon, selling in 12 countries in America, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia.

In 2019 ArenaGear introduced new product lines to service other sports that depend on very accurate timekeeping such as Track and Field, Football Combines, Long Distance race events, and Dog Agility competitions. The new product lines were so successful that we had to quadruple our production capacity in order to keep up with demand.

ArenaGear is a proud Texan corporate citizen and is committed to keeping all production in the USA.
