Ridgeshot is a long-range marksman simulator built for the patient shooter. One shot. One breath. One ridgeline lit by the last hour of daylight. You are looking through a second-focal-plane illuminated scope at a target between 100 and 800 yards away. The reticle is a Christmas-tree subtension — each tick a precise hold for a known distance. Pick the right hold, settle your breath, and squeeze. THE FUNDAMENTALS Ridgeshot is built around the four things that decide every long shot: range, hold, wind, and timing. There are no power-ups, no aim-assist, no forgiving margins. The reticle is honest. The ballistics are honest. If you miss, you missed — and the next shot is yours to fix. • Muzzle velocity 800 m/s, 200-yard zero, MIL-based holdovers • Real bullet drop past 300 yards — the reticle's lower stadia matter • Second-focal-plane illuminated reticle with red, green, or amber glow • Brightness control for first light, midday, and last light • Christmas-tree subtension for windage holds as well as elevation THE RANGE You shoot in dense wilderness scenes rendered procedurally in SceneKit. The ridgeline silhouettes are dusk-quiet. The forest stands deep and charcoal green. Brass and copper tones warm the metalwork. Nothing is a backdrop photo — everything is geometry that responds to your position and your distance to target. TWO TARGET DISCIPLINES • Olympic-style concentric rings for pure marksmanship • 3D animated wildlife — whitetail deer, elk, pronghorn, and wild boar that walk through the scene at distance. Lead the moving animal, wait for the broadside, take the ethical shot. iMESSAGE 1v1 — THE WHOLE GAME IN A BUBBLE Ridgeshot ships with a full iMessage extension. Start a match from any conversation, take your shot inside the bubble, send it back. Your opponent sees your call, takes their own shot at their own distance, and the bubble updates again. A match can live in a Messages thread for a week or finish in five minutes. This is not a preview — it is the whole game. GAME CENTER Five leaderboards track the way real marksmen measure themselves: • Global wins • Longest confirmed shot (meters) • Season high score • Rolling accuracy percentage • Olympic 10-ring hit count PROCEDURAL EVERYTHING Rifle, scope, animals, scenery, sound — all generated in code. AVAudioEngine produces the rifle report and the wind through the timber. The frontier-feel soundtrack is procedural too; no two evenings on the ridge sound the same. No third-party assets, no canned loops. WHO IT IS FOR If you have spent time behind a real scope — at a club range, on a hunt, or watching Olympic biathlon and wondering how those last shots stay so clean — Ridgeshot is built for you. It rewards the same skills: range estimation, wind reading, breath control, and the discipline to wait for the shot. UNIVERSAL & QUIET • iPhone and iPad, iOS 17 or later • No ads. No tracking. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. • No real-world weapon instruction. No human targets. No glorification. Settle in. The light is fading. The wind is moving in the aspens. Take your time. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.3.2 — 2026-09-02 Small fixes and refinements under the hood. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-09 Corrected the in-app Privacy Policy and Support links.
