The claim
We count. You correct.
Automatic pellet counting is an estimation tool, not absolute truth. It gets you most of the way and you correct the rest. That is why the correction step exists, and why the number you export is one you have checked.
Counting runs on your device where supported, so there are no bars to wait for at the pattern board.
How it works
01
The camera shows a level indicator, because an angled shot is what ruins a count. Lay the paper flat, fill the frame, shoot square on.
02
The app marks the hits. It will miss some and add a few that are not there, so tap to add or remove. The final count is yours.
03
Point of impact against your aim point, percentage inside the 30 inch circle, spread, pattern shape and quadrant balance.
Inside the app
Photograph the target, correct what the count got wrong, and tag the shot with the gun, choke, load and distance behind it.
Everything in the app
Analyze
Photograph the target and the app marks the pellet holes. Tap to add the ones it missed and remove the ones that are not there. You get pellet count, percentage inside the 30 inch circle, point of impact against your aim point, spread, pattern shape and quadrant balance. Overlay a density map to see where the pattern thins, or gap rings to find the holes a bird could fly through.
History
Each target is saved against the gun, choke, shot size and distance behind it. Filter the log by distance, pull up an aggregate across all targets, and compare loads side by side to settle which combination actually patterns best in your gun.
Insights
Pattern percentage across your last ten sessions, your average and your best, and point of impact plotted across every session. One target tells you very little. Twelve of them tell you whether your gun has drifted.
Gear
A library of the guns and cartridges you actually own, so tagging a session takes a tap instead of retyping. Choke, shot size, payload and distance all come from the same place, which is what makes two sessions comparable.
Team
Invite members by QR code and give one admin a view of every member's saved targets. Admins see the patterns saved to the team. Accounts, gear and AI conversations stay private to the person they belong to.
Squad
Messages hop phone to phone over Bluetooth, so the party stays in contact with no tower and no data. Press to talk, send the target you just shot, or fire a one-tap SOS that reaches every phone in range.
AI Insights
Ask which load patterned tightest, whether your point of impact drifts, or what changed between two sessions. It answers from a numeric summary of the targets you have saved.
Your photographs and your written notes are never sent. Answers are generated from measured data and can still be wrong, so check anything that would change how you shoot.
