The free Accurize app works with Accurize hardware to create a simulated shooting experience using your own firearms. - Better Technology, Better Accuracy - Unlike other shooting systems, Accurize doesn’t rely on your phone and a flimsy tripod to record shots. Instead, the system’s own screen comes with light detection technology that can determine where your shot landed without the use of any cameras, which leads to better accuracy and a more realistic experience. - Measure and Improve your Performance - What isn’t tracked isn’t improved. That’s why the Accurize app is built to receive information from the system via bluetooth and lets you see data like your session summary, shot speed, three different scoring models, zoom, average shot data, historical reports and share them with others. - Fit for Every Discipline - Accurize works with 23 different targets that cover everything from hunting to ISSF air targets so that you can practice in the most realistic way possible. - Instant Feedback - Since Accurize doesn't rely on your phone to record your training sessions, you can keep it next to you while you shoot and watch your performance metrics in real time. - A More Realistic Shooting Experience - Being entirely self recorded means Accurize can offer a more realistic shooting experience than other systems. This translates into better accuracy, no phantom shots and the ability to practice at a longer distance. - The Accurize app feature sight adjustment and shot sound for improved simulation. - The Accurize app records and reports your progress and history with heatmaps and averaged performance reports along with individual sessions. - Upgrade to PRO for only USD 3.49 pr month – 14 days free trial period and get extra features like shot reaction display, cluster shot, result notes, shot split display , heatmap.
