Makes you a better shooter — regardless of existing skill level
I’m a big fan of Strikeman and confident it will make anyone a better shooter, regardless of their existing skill level.
I did a lot of research before buying and Strikeman seemed to have the most features and the best price. And I have to say I am VERY pleased after making my purchase.
My biggest learning is how much sight pictures vary from gun to gun. For example, Glock and Sig have fundamentally different sight pictures and if you shoot them the same way without adjusting for this, one will always miss the target. However, when shooting with Strikeman you will notice this immediately and quickly get to know your guns — including what is different between them. Best of all, you will not waste ANY money on ammo or think you are simply missing the target because of the kick the comes from shooting live rounds, etc. Instead you will be able to perfect your skills with absolute confidence, and know exactly how to get the most out of each of your guns. And it’s also fun to have a competition with friends, etc. using the app. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Strikeman App is very cool
The Strikeman system is not only plowing me to shoot far more in practice sessions or just for fun, than I was before. Now shooting an average of 40 rounds per day or two because it is so convenient.
Because of this, my consistency has greatly improved.
The app itself does things I did nit realize it would do, before my purchase, so having the phone speak to me by calling my shots is very nice!
Calibration for each session is the key to a good recording. Making sure the phone/camera is in the best position from the target and using the right level of zoom will make each session record with no issues, but be patient and play with it, until you figure out that “sweet spot” for camera and zoom positioning for the best and most accurate calibration.
Once you do this, set-up takes less than 30 seconds and you are ready to begin!
Last point is that you will save huge cash on ammo expense by using this system! Paid for mine in about a week!!

Thoroughly Enjoy this System
So far I absolutely love the convenience and the ability to practice drawing and presenting more quickly. It’s also just been fun being able to handle my firearms and practice target acquisition from my home. Gets me excited to take what I am practicing dry firing at Home to the range. Easy to use, can set up and train anywhere. So far in my experience the laser cartridge is generally 95% ish on target and lands where I aim. Could be operator error in my Judgement, but over all I’d say that’s pretty great. I would 10/10 recommend to others. Will most likely wind up getting the Subscription and another cartridge for my .357!

Good for draw and shoot
Missing timer. Measuring from beep to fist shot and accuracy.
STRIKEMAN APP
I purchased the Strikeman laser practice kit because of the price of ammo and the need to keep up with practice. Of course it won’t offer real world conditions, but it will help with getting on target quicker.
The app is helpful. I like the added accuracy pie charts. I would like to see the picture of the Target hits saved as well. This would help to see if I am pulling to one side or ther other. Maybe It’s available and I am not seeing it. I see another user mention that they would like to be able to clear the history. Maybe the developers can bin the sessions by Date. Just a thought. Anyway, it’s a great way to practice and see what your progress is. Thank you

Perfect and safest indoor dry fire practice with real weight.
Practice with the real thing, not a plastic wannabe toy. It’s like going to the range without spending all the hard earned coin on live rounds that you may not get to replace for a long time, or the time spent loading and driving and waiting in line. My new range is in the privacy of my own home, or even a friends; cost is extremely low, I can schedule at my leisure when it’s convenient for me. I can invite any of my closest friends to participate with out worrying about sharing or wasting my recently acquired (and over priced) projectiles. While this may not be an exact replication, it is as close as you can get. Remember, even Tiger W. dry fires his club everyday over and over and over and over. That’s how he has won so many titles. It’s called muscle memory; down stream impact is a very small piece to the over all process of getting your muscles and brain to work as one. Besides, for about the cost of two new boxes of your favorite flavor that only gets you maybe 100 swings, you can get a small box that will produce about 2000 swings down muscle memory lane. You choose, or loose, it’s up to you.

APP NEEDS FURTHER DEVELOPMENT
The target and phone holder are well made and it is easy to set up the session on the phone app. The problem is in the app itself. It does not count the shots accurately. It counts sometimes more and sometimes less than you actually shot. Worse is that when you end the session and download the target screenshot to your photos you see that you have a group centered in the target but the app scores you as a 4 average when you can clearly see by your saved target that not one shot was outside the 7 ring. And you can see the laser flashes correlating with the centered screenshot as you shoot. So why such a swing in the scoring? Worse yet you just have a running total average in your history with no way to clear it. Like I said the screenshot gives you an accurate record of your session sort of like a paper target at the range but this is in no way an app that can track improvement in form because it is incapable of setting a baseline in the first place and inaccurately scores each successive session. You do not need to create an account so deleting and reinstalling the app would be the only way to start over when your history gets so skewed by the inaccuracy of the app. This IS a cool concept so STRIKEMAN developers please take my review as constructive criticism and squash these bugs. Thank you.

It’s Making Me A Better Shooter
I recently bought the SIG P365 SAS and needed some significant practice on the new embedded tritium sight. With ammo prices (and availability) in the StoOPid category, this laser-based dry fire system seemed like the perfect solution.
The laser cartridge is of excellent quality and fits the chamber perfectly. Once I got the sight picture correct, I realized there’s not a thing wrong with the sights. They are dead on! So, from the aspect of making me a better, more confident shooter, this is an awesome app.
Now, for the negatives and hopeful improvements to come.
1. It doesn’t catch every shot. Maybe 6/10. I try to shoot 10 shot rounds and realized if I turn on the shot sound on my phone, I can count the number of shots it records to get 10 shot round.
2. The history doesn’t allow you to delete old sessions. This is especially important when you are experimenting with setting up the calibration and lighting and get 100s of errant “shots” being recorded.
3. The phone stand could be a bit better quality, but it’s workable.
4. My version of the app only allows me to view the last 14 days while the pictures on the AppStore show that I should be able to see individual days like ‘Today.’
Biggest ask for the future is editing/deleting history and daily history in addition to date ranges.

Save your money and your life
There are other time proven methods of dry fire practice concepts available that do not cost a penny. Yes, dry fire is a great way to practice skills at home safely but you do not need Strikeman to do this. Ask any range instructor or search online. Be aware that you cannot get your money back if not satisfied with Strikeman after 15 days from purchase. So figure out if you like it very quickly. The app is glitchy as users have reported. You have to rack the slide after each fire. Sometimes if the lighting is not just right, the app starts recording erroneous fires that can’t be erased from your logged history. Don’t rely on that playing this game will allow one to improve accuracy with a real gun when needed most. Go practice at the range with an instructor or experienced individual learning basic concepts. They are not hard to learn. That is how you will save on money on ammo and build confidence.

About as useful as a hanful of used toilet paper
Useless, phantom shots, product itself is absolute trash, operating system registers half the shots if your lucky
