There are many apps that the creators say are the “best of its type”….but there again, all children look wonderful to their parents!

Every time I hear of something new…I check it out. Looking for a RELIABLE AND USEFUL phone or tablet app to assist your shooting? then read on….

Target Scoring System in your pocket!

Simply searching for ‘TargetScan’ in the PlayStore or Apple stores.

What does this do? Very simply, it scores targets for you, via the device camera, and stores the information for later review, or sending to another person (coach??) via email. Very reliable, as it’s been tested against a Reika machine with 100% accuracy

TargetScan App turns your phone / tablet into a Target Scoring System. Just take a photo of your paper target and the App will automatically calculate the score! TargetScan will also help you analyse your shooting group calculating: Windage, Elevation, Mean Radius and Extreme Spread so you can easily find out whether you need to adjust the sights or find out which pellets work best for you. Keep track of your previous shooting sessions and monitor the progress you are making.

ISSF TRAINER

The ISSF Trainer is a unique new app for an iPhone/iPad which provides a powerful training aid for ISSF Olympic Shooting – training and match session.

The application utilizes the touch screen features of the phone, allowing you to record the position of each shot as it is fired during your practice session or match. It also keeps track of the time elapsed between shots, and help you analyse this time to show what speed of shooting produces your best results.

You can select from several shooting disciplines, including 10m Air Rifle, 10m Air Pistol, 50m Rifle and Standard pistol 25 and 50m, and 300m Rifle. Each discipline records the shots on the correct target design and shot size.

You can review your practice on the device, replaying the shots one by one, or showing them in groups of 5,10,20 or all, and you can easily export by email, which includes lists as well as graphic pictures of the shots fired.

The applications allows you to insert notes and comments mid session, and even change the colour of the shot after a note or equipment change.

Sessions recorded include information about the date, location, conditions and equipment notes and can be modified as you go.
