Range Buddy is the all-in-one firearms training app for shooters who want better drills, on-video shot scoring, video coaching, a smarter training tracker, and real competition. Connect a shot timer, record and score your shooting on video, break a run down frame by frame, build training regimens, follow standards, and compete in head-to-head duels or group challenges. Browse a drill library sorted by target type, category, and skill focus so you can train with purpose and measure progress over time.
