## What is Blackhole?

Blackhole - the app for target shooters

Blackhole is an app for sport shooters. It supports you in your shooting sport by simply taking pictures of your shooting targets with your cell phone. The targets are automatically evaluated and your shooting images are archived in the digital shooting book. Share your shooting results with other shooters within the app.

Target evaluation with your cell phone

For target evaluation, place your ring target on a plain background after shooting and take a picture of your target with the Blackhole app. The app will then evaluate the shots on the target to the 10th of a ring within a few seconds and display the hit image and the values determined for the individual hits. After the evaluation, you can manually add, edit or delete individual hits in the shot image.
The App supports ring targets from the shooting associations: 

International - ISSF; USA - NRA; Great Britain - NSRA; Australia - TRA; Netherlands - KNSA; Denmark - DGI; Germany - DSB, BDS, BDMP, DSU, KYF, BSSB; Switzerland - SSV

Write us if you miss a target or your federation so we can close the gap.

Wizard for recording your target

The app supports you in taking optimal pictures of your target by using an optical level to help you keep your phone as perpendicular and steady as possible to the target. The camera of your cell phone is then automatically triggered when the target is optimally positioned in the picture.

Your results in the hit image at a glance

Look at your hit image in detail. The hit position and the scattering and the hull circle provide you with information on how to optimally adjust your sight and improve your shooting technique.

Graphical analysis of hit images

Track your progress in shooting training. Graphs help you compare your shot images and show you trends. So you know you're on the right track.

Your shooting log goes digital

Manage your shooting results from anywhere. From now on you always have your shooting book with you and keep track of all your training and competition sessions. In the detailed view you can look at and analyze every single shot in detail.

Get your equipment into the shooting book

Inventory your sports weapons, ammunition and other items. Link your inventory with your entries in the shooting book and compare your performance. With which sporting weapon have you shot the best so far? And how does your choice of ammunition affect the spread?

Show your shooting results

Show your friends your best shooting results in the digital Shooters Lounge or post them on your favorite social platform. You can be proud of your shooting achievements.

Export your shooting results as PDF

Create a shooting log or detailed logs of your events and export the documents as PDF.

Export your training records

Have your shooting instructor sign your shooting results directly on your phone and export your training record directly as a PDF.

### 1/5 — Werbung trotz aktivem Abo

*2026-05-24*

Das Werbeversprechen in der App für‘s Abo „keine Werbung“ wird nicht eingehalten. Ich bekomme trotz aktivem Abo Werbung auf der Startseite angezeigt.

### 3/5 — Es fehlen Spiegel

*2025-10-30*

Es fehlt der Einsteckspiegel für DSB 25m schnelle Serie deshalb für mich unbrauchbar

### 4/5 — Sehr gute App!

*2025-09-08*

Die App ist sehr genau und erleichtert die Auswertung sowie Katalogisierung des Trainings und Wettkampf ungemein.

Für eine 5-Sternebewertung fehlen mir lediglich die DSU Ovalringscheiben, dann wäre die App perfekt.

### 1/5 — Nicht zu gebrauchen

*2025-06-30*

Scheiben werden nicht korrekt erkannt. Die Comicbilder sind lächerlich.

### 1/5 — Geht gar nicht

*2025-03-03*

Haben es versucht mit verschieden Scheiben und Hintergründen bis auf immer die selbe Fehlermeldung passiert hier nicht

### 4/5 — Reconnaissance d’impacts

*2025-01-24*

Très bon outil qui permet, dans ça version gratuite, de faire énormément de choses intéressantes comme le suivi le comptage et les diagnostics de tir
Je le conseille

### 4/5 — Super App aber noch ausbaufähig

*2025-01-09*

Es wäre super wenn man mit der App auch DSU Scheiben auswerten könnte. Ansonsten top

### 4/5 — Wird immer besser

*2023-10-06*

Mittlerweile komme ich sehr gut damit klar. 
Ein Wunsch wäre noch eine Exportfunktion für das Schiesbuch, so dass Schiessbucheinträge in eine andere Blackhole- Installation eingelesen werden kann

### 3/5 — Elektronische Anzeigen

*2023-09-22*

Leider fehlt die Möglichkeit, die Anzeige von dem Bildschirm auszuwerten.
Ich hoffe, das kommt noch.
Auch der Schießsport wird immer digitaler

### 5/5 — Works great for 10m indoor air rifle

*2023-03-08, version 1.6.6*

I use to score 10m air rifle targets, 6 shots per bull. Worked very well (after I spent ten minutes reading the instruction manual). Kudos to the developers!  Might be a good idea to add English language subtitles to the instructional videos.
