SHOOTING GROUP ANALYSIS
• Mean Point of Impact (MPI) – the centre of the group: windage and elevation
• Mean Radius, Extreme Spread – to measure your grouping
• Summary Target Plot with all shots in the session
• Potential Score – check how many points you could gain by bringing the group to the centre
• Heat map showing error patterns over longer periods of time
• Charts showing score, group parameters for multiple sessions

EASY SHARING

SHOOTER'S DIARY
• Keep track of all your sessions and monitor progress
• Add notes to your sessions and empty your drawer – you will always be able to review past results

***********************
"Excellent for ISSF - I shoot 10 meter air pistol targets (same as NRA B-40) and this app makes scoring and recording progress wonderfully easy. I put ten shots on each target and I haven't had an error yet. It is so good at determining shot placement it's almost like artificial intelligence. Just make sure to use an official target or the app won't work. With an approved target, it's brilliant."
– Stone Glasgow, United States

"A great tool for getting people to see their shot fall and make adjustments. Good fun as well."
– S7evie P, NSRA Club Instructor, UK

"This app has helped bring our shooters' scores from embarrassing to respectable in just a few short weeks."
– North of 68, Couch, Canada's Arctic

"This App has helped me identify my shooting patterns and is a great tool. It has revitalised my enthusiasm in the sport. Love it."
– FridayB111, Australia

### 1/5 — Lots to like

*2026-05-30, version 7.1.1*

It is so bad sensing a whole on a black background, so many false positives. I wish you could hit a button and clear all the ‘sensed’ holes. It takes longer to clear the target each time than it does to add the proper holes

### 5/5 — Très belle application

*2026-03-30*

Une application qui permet un suivi et une analyse précise de sa session de tir

### 5/5 — Pratique, fiable très utile pour progresser.

*2026-03-03*

Je recommande cette application.
Rapide pour son utilisation avec un résultat juste et modifiable si erreur de lecture.
L'application en multi- sessions permet d'obtenir des statistiques.
Je souhaite que le logiciel TargetScan puise évoluer et permettre l'exploitation de toutes les données sur un tableur.
Trés bonne réactivité du développeur pour répondre aux questions et aux améliorations.
Le 20 septembre 2017 cela fait plus d'un an que j'utilise cette application elle ne fait qu'évoluer et je la recommande à chaque tireur que je rencontre.

### 4/5 — Bon suivi des progrès

*2026-03-01*

Excellente application pour suivre ses progrès dans différentes disciplines et armes/calibres. Le scan des cibles peut être compliqué en extérieur ou avec un éclairage fort derrière la cible (fausse détection des trous déjà bouchés). 
Il manquerait éventuellement la possibilité de saisir des résultats manuellement pour pouvoir par exemple saisir les concours ou entraînement sur cibles électroniques.

### 5/5 — Easy and accurate scoring

*2025-12-15, version 7.1.1*

This app makes it really easy to take a picture of your targets and then score them. I have used it for Air pistol, 22, and 45. Both indoor and outdoor targets. It does definitely help if you put a piece of white paper behind the target before you take the picture and make sure the target is as fully captured as possible. Maybe even a little extra border around the edge in the picture. I would love it if you could combine different target types into a group like three slow fire and six sustained fire to score a 900 match.

### 5/5 — Beste App für sportschützen

*2025-09-30*

Seit Jahren zufrieden! Leider schon lange keine Updates mehr, u.a. neue Schreiben für BDS Kombi. 

Auch die Auswertung würde heutzutage mehr Möglichkeiten bieten bzw. Man sich mehr Flexibilität wünschen in Bezug auf Zeiträume der Auswertung und tiefergehende Analysen. Gerne als zusätzlichen in-App Purchase. Gute Arbeit soll bezahlt werden.

### 5/5 — A very useful app!

*2025-09-05, version 7.1.1*

The TargetScan app is really useful and very, very accurate, reliable and consistent.  As a club scorer, I use this all the time to check my scoring, and also to record score cards.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2025-05-05, version 7.1.1*

Spent hours and hours sticking scores in a spreadsheet which took me minutes to replicate with this app. Rather spend my time practicing than recording. The one issue is sometimes it will not allow you to manually record a shot it doesn’t register. It’s about 1 in 30-40 which I can live with. Would love a little more detail on the metrics it gives but maybe I just haven’t found it in the help yet.
The only other suggestion to the developer is to allow us to original picture of the scan for record keeping.

### 5/5 — Première utilisation

*2025-02-02*

Je trouve cette application vraiment pratique très simple à utiliser. Je n’ai plus besoin de me casser la tête à compter les points.
C’est la première fois que je l’utilise alors peut-être que d’autres commentaires suivront pour une éventuelle amélioration de l’appli.
Je recommande cette application à tous les tireurs.

### 5/5 — 気持ちはEST役員

*2024-12-11*

三千円と高いですが、かなり満足度は高いです。

メリット
・一枚の標的から最大10発まで読み取ることが可能
・採点がズレてるなと思った時は、感知した部分をタップすることで移動可能

デメリット
・ARのような標的に対して弾の径が大きい場合、弾痕が重なって複数発を検知できない
