## What is Set & Shot?

Set & Shot is the complete shooting diary, firearms record keeper, and field companion for everyone who holds a shotgun or firearms certificate — whether you're a gamekeeper managing thousands of acres, a rough shooter on a Saturday permission, a deer stalker, a clay pigeon competitor, or a target shooter at the range.

Every outing, every round, every species — logged in one place, offline, and entirely private on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no data leaves your phone.

DIARY & LOG
Record every outing with date, time, GPS location, weather, method, firearm used, rounds fired, and quarry taken — all in a few taps. Log mixed bags with multiple species in a single entry, each with its own count and legal verdict. Backdate entries for outings you didn't log at the time. View your history by day, week, month, or year.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE
The built-in legality guard checks every species, method, and trap combination against current legislation for your region — including General Licences, close seasons, approved trap lists (AIHTS), night shooting restrictions, and protected species. It tells you what's permitted, what needs a licence, and what's an offence, before you act.

Covers England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, United States, European Union, New Zealand, and Australia — with region-specific rules, not guesswork.

FIREARMS RENEWAL EVIDENCE
Generate a month-by-month Firearms Activity Certificate evidence pack showing exactly how each firearm was used: dates, locations, quarry, rounds fired — with masked serial numbers and a data-integrity hash. Export as PDF for your enquiry officer, or CSV for your own records. Choose any date range.

THE GUNROOM
Your gun cabinet, digitised. Log every firearm and shotgun with serial number, calibre, and notes. Track ammunition stock per calibre — rounds fired on outings are automatically deducted. Log home reloads with components, batch numbers, and notes. Set stock alerts so you never run low. All serial numbers are stored in your device's secure keystore, never in plain text.

DOCUMENT VAULT
Photograph and store your firearms certificate, shotgun certificate, explosives certificate, Deer Stalking Certificate, insurance, club memberships, permission letters, and correspondence — all behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your Set & Shot PIN. Certificates with an expiry date get a renewal countdown so you never miss a deadline.

LAND & PERMISSIONS
Record every piece of land you shoot over: name, address, acreage, landowner details, access notes, and hazards. Draw boundaries on the map. Generate a professional permission form for the landowner to sign on your phone — styled after the standard police land-approval format.

MAP
Drop custom pins for landmarks, hides, high seats, feeders, hazards, vehicles, poison stations, and kill locations. Name every pin. View your shot quarry overlaid on the map, filtered by species. Toggle between satellite and standard views.

RANGE & CLUB SHOOTING
Log range sessions and club shoots with gun club name and location — your competition and practice record alongside your field diary.

ANIMALS
Track your working animals — hawks, ferrets, terriers, gun dogs — with photos, details, and an automatic tally of quarry taken per animal.

TRAPPING & POISON
Full trap-check compliance: set a trap on the map, and the app counts down to your next legal check interval (24 hours England, 24 hours Scotland, or as required). Log poison and rodenticide use with product, batch, and amount — the guard enforces CRRU stewardship duties automatically.

RENEWAL LINKS
Direct links to GOV.UK firearms application forms and every UK police force's own firearms licensing page — 45 forces, individually verified, so you go straight to the right place for your constabulary. Country-specific links for users outside the UK.

SET & SHOT PRO
Unlock custom pin naming, ammunition stock alerts, range shooting, working animals, weather capture, and calendar import — one payment, yours forever.

### 5/5 — Love the app but…

*2026-10-03*

I think the idea of the app is brilliant, and it’s so close to being perfect however have found 2 issues so far:-

1. It would be really good to be able to retrospectively input a log in the diary. I’ve found that there is no way to add a diary log unless you add it for the very day you are on, meaning that if I am out after midnight, when I complete my full log, it effectively logs on the incorrect day

2. When I have tried to have my land permission forms signed, on iPhone (IOS) the signature box moves (scrolls) with your finger meaning signatures cannot be carried out

Other than that, I love the app and once the above small bugs are fixed, I’ll be passing it on to all of my friends in the shooting community

### 2/5 — Documents section

*2026-09-19*

Have tried to upload documents ie certificates insurance club memberships but when I have done all this and pressed save documents it does not save them

**Developer response:** Hi Gary,

Thank you for reporting this — you've identified a real bug that affected document uploads on iOS.

What was happening: When you selected a document and pressed Save, the app was checking if the file had been saved before the save operation actually completed. This caused it to fail every time, even though the error message wasn't clear.

What's fixed: We've corrected the code so the app now waits for the file to finish saving before validating it.

What's next: This fix will be included in the next version update. Once you update Set & Shot, document uploads (certificates, insurance, club memberships, permission letters) should work without any issues.

If you run into any problems after updating, please let us know.

Thanks for your patience,
Dickie

### 1.0.8 — 2026-10-03

Bug fixes: mixed-bag species now save correctly, camera no longer loses form data, text overflow improvements.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-15

Fixes from real field testing:

• Fixed species/method labels getting cut off on some Android devices — device-specific display scaling was squeezing the selection chips into fixed-width columns with no "...", so longer names like "Chinese water deer" or "Feral hog / wild boar" were silently clipped. Every label now always shows in full.
• Fixed a blank/black map on phones with weaker graphics hardware — satellite imagery could fail to render silently on some devices. Added a Standard/Satellite toggle on the map so you can switch to the much lighter vector view if satellite doesn't render on your phone.
• Corrected Chinese Water Deer for Scotland — verified with NatureScot and the British Deer Society that there's no established population there, so the app now gives a clear answer instead of just omitting the species.
