## What is Bullz?

This one-of-a-kind app can detect precisely the deviation of the dry-fired shots from the center of the target (the bullseye). When users aim their firearms at the center of the target, the Bullz-I algorithms calculate how off-center the dry-fired shots hit the target.


Always double-check that your firearm is unloaded before dry fire practice begins! Bullz-i makes it fun and safe to dry fire your unloaded gun to improve your shooting accuracy and practice proper grip, stance, and sight alignment. Bullz-i provides instant feedback by realistically displaying the precise location of your shots on a smartphone screen, assuming you are aiming at the center of the target. Bullz-i lets you conveniently share your dry fire practice results with friends and on social media.


Bullz-i helps you diagnose and improve your pistol shooting skills by analyzing your shooting results. It identifies bad habits like trigger jerking, heeling, thumbing, and more, and provides expert advice on how to mitigate them. With Bullz-i, you can enhance your shooting abilities without the need to go to the range.


How it works


The Bullz-i app incorporates a unique technology based on three algorithms: image recognition with deep neural networks, an audio peak detection algorithm, and a proprietary algorithm, able to calculate how off-center the dry-fired shots hit the target. All you need to run your Dry Fire practice session is to follow these simple steps:

1. Download and install the Bullz-i App on your iPhone;
2. Run the Bullz-i App;
3. Set your iPhone vertically by placing it against any supporting surface, with the iPhone’s camera pointing at you and with the digital shooting Target displayed;
4. Aim your unloaded firearm at the bullseye (the center of the target). The Bullz-I algorithms calculate how off-center the bullets would hit the target.


NOTE 1: Your free trial period lasts for 7 days. When your free trial period expires, you will be charged a monthly subscription fee of $1.99 by your subscription provider. During your Free Trial, you can choose to subscribe to the FULL version of the Bullz-i App by tapping on the Subscription button, under the Settings section and selecting one of the Subscription options. You can SAVE 50% of your monthly fee by selecting the ‘12 Months subscription’.


What is Dry Fire?


Dry firing is a great way to practice shooting skills. Dry firing is the practice of simulating the discharge of a firearm without any live ammunition. Members of the Armed Forces, police departments, and competitive shooters all use dry fire training to become better at hitting their targets. Dry Fire Training helps you to improve your shooting skills and accuracy. You can practice proper grip, trigger control, sight alignment, and breathing techniques. It can also help you to overcome any bad habits you may have developed, such as the anticipation of recoil.


NOTE 2: Dry fire poses no risk of damage to most modern centerfire firearms; however, it can damage rimfire weapons, where the firing pin in most designs will impact the breech face if the weapon is dry-fired. Because of this, precautions (such as the use of snap caps) need to be taken if such a weapon is to be deliberately dry-fired.


NOTE 3: PLEASE BE SAFE!!! The dry fire should be done with NO AMMUNITION in or near the gun.


Why Bullz-i is better than its competition.


No laser bullet, no device or gadget! The app alone detects the dry-fired shots. Bullz-i is THE place to enjoy Dry Fire Training in the comfort of your own home, using the unloaded firearm & your iPhone.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2024-12-11*

I guess I’m not that surprised, but it didn’t work at all. It doesn’t recognize the dry fire of my gun. So it never thinks I’m shooting.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry the app didn’t meet your expectations. Assuming you followed the instructions—conducting your dry fire exercise in a quiet, well-lit place, aimed at the target’s center, and within 3-5 feet of your phone—we’re very surprised it didn’t work. Please share more details about your experience with our support team at bullziapp@gmail.com. We’re here to help resolve this issue!

### 1/5 — Fake

*2024-05-27*

Literally put shots in the center even when I purposely shot off to the side of the target

**Developer response:** Literally in the upper section of each shooting range screen, we display a note: “Always aim at the CENTER of the TARGET.” Bullz-i calculates the deviation from the center of the target (Bullseye). The name 'Bullz-i' reflects the importance of aiming for the center. It's essential to follow the instructions rather than call the app 'fake.' For further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our support team.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-03-21*

Followed the prompts, had everything set up at 5 feet, squeezed the trigger and got a prompt to move closer and add light. Added more light than what is found at any range, and moved to 3 feet. Again got the same message. Moved to 12 inches, and again received the same message. Moved to an inch away from the screen and still received the same message. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS…..

**Developer response:** Hello Crippies73! We've made significant improvements to our app since your last review. Please give us another try and witness the enhanced features and performance. Your feedback matters to us. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2022-02-17*

Does not recognize dry fire or place a shot on target. App designer will blame me as they do in every bad review. I was aiming at the center of the target in a VERY well lit area with the phone in a vertical position. Not ready for prime time or for your money. This time, listen the the 1-star reviews. They know what they’re talking about. It got a 1-star rating because zero is not possible. Run away!

**Developer response:** We appreciate your sharing your experience in detail. Thanks to your feedback, we believe we resolved this issue in our new release available 02/28 on App Store. 
If you experience the same or any other issue with your Bullz-i app, please let our development team know at bullziapp@gmail.com. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2021-10-24*

This app would be a horrible free app. But for 1.99 a month it’s a joke!  I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed in anything I’ve ever downloaded before. Just stay away.

**Developer response:** Hello! We've made significant improvements to our app since your last review. Please give us another try and witness the enhanced features and performance. Your feedback matters to us. Thank you!
