New in 4.1: a free par timer

Master Every
Shot.

Time the run, detect every shot, and turn the footage into a video worth sharing. The shot timer is free with no shot limit, and 4.1 adds a par timer for hands-free drills.

Used by IPSC champion Giacomo Bolzoni. Free on iPhone and Android. Pro unlocks video export.

New in 4.1

Beat the par beep.

Set a par time and train hands-free. A start beep, then a lower beep when your time is up. Run one rep, a set, or loop it with a random start delay. The par timer is free. Try it right here.

Dry fire only with an unloaded gun and no ammunition in the room. On a live range, follow the range officer.

  • The app hears every shot

    It marks which shots made the par and keeps your best and average time across every rep.

  • No shot limit on the free timer

    Every shot of every string is timed, with splits, without Pro.

  • Video edits are saved

    Reopen a scored run from its session and keep editing where you left off.

Training without the app? Open the par timer in your browser.

Since 4.0
