BRING YOUR RANGE PRACTICE HOME. Use your own handgun or rifle for laser-based dry firing. Work with the sights, scope, ballistic data, and shooting setup you already know. LaserHIT turns your available indoor space into a dry-fire range with realistic sounds and a customizable Virtual Spotter. See or hear results specific to the Drill you choose. YOUR SHOT. IN REAL NUMBERS. See where every hit lands immediately in inches, centimeters, MOA, or MIL. Measure groups in inches, centimeters, TMOA, SMOA, MIL, or MRAD. Match the units to your optic and the way you already work at the range. Split and elapsed time are measured to 0.1 second. KNOW HOW SHARP YOU CAN BE. Want to see a 0.052-inch difference on your target at 100 yards? Want to know you can place three shots at 5 yards in under one second? And not just once. Do it consistently. Repeat it. Know what you and your firearm can deliver. SCORE BY THE RULES YOU PRACTICE. In competition, a hit is not simply a hit. Where it lands, decimal values, X-counts, penalties, and time can determine the result. LaserHIT applies the scoring method appropriate to the selected Drill at the moment of impact. Results can include decimal or whole-number scoring, X-counts, Zone scores, Hit Factor, Final Time with penalties, and other competition-specific results. Prefer placement instead of score? See or hear each hit as a correction or location. With multiple targets and recreated distances, each result stays connected to the target and distance actually hit. THE ROOM STAYS. DISTANCE CHANGES. The LaserHIT App can recreate distances from 1 yard to 1 mile, depending on your firearm, optic, accessories, target, and available indoor distance. The principle is geometry: a proportionally scaled target recreates the angular dimensions of a full-size target at another distance. A 25-yard practice does not require 25 yards of room. A 500-yard target does not require a 500-yard range. With the appropriate setup, even 1 mile can be recreated indoors. YOUR POSITION COMES FIRST. Prone. Sitting. Kneeling. Supported. Standing. Four Positional Targets™ are matched to different rifle heights. Establish your position first, then place the appropriate target at your natural line of aim instead of changing your body to fit a fixed indoor target. No wind. No bullet drop. Work with your rifle, scope, position, support, sight picture, and trigger. BRING YOUR BALLISTIC DATA INSIDE. Import custom ballistic data from supported sources, including Hornady® and GeoBallistics®, or connect a compatible Kestrel® 5700 Series device. Select your ballistic profile in Kestrel and connect it to the LaserHIT App. During the Stage, LaserHIT generates a random crosswind up to 10 mph. Kestrel updates the DOPE for the current wind, providing the firing solution to dial or hold. CONFIRM THE RANGE. THEN FIRE. A selected distance does not always mean your recreated setup is exactly at that distance. Before ballistic practice begins, LaserHIT verifies the recreated distance actually present. For example, if your 500-yard setup verifies at 487 yards, ballistic calculations use 487 yards. Drop and time of flight are calculated for the confirmed range, because every yard can matter to the firing solution. YOUR SPOTTER. ON YOUR WRIST. With supported Drills, Apple Watch displays wind direction and speed, hit location, score, and available Stage information while your iPhone or iPad remains at the target. YOUR PRACTICE STAYS YOURS. Core practice works offline. No LaserHIT account is required. Firearm profiles, ballistic data, and practice records stay locally on your device. Some Drills and advanced features require LaserHIT Pro Access or specific LaserHIT equipment.

About

Round Count Maint

Features
Read full description

Round Count keeps an accurate round count for every firearm you own — and for the parts inside them that wear out. Competitive shooters and high-volume enthusiasts know the problem: recoil springs, firing pins, and extractors all have a service life, but nobody remembers how many rounds ago they were replaced. Round Count does the remembering for you. LOG EVERY SESSION Record live fire and dry fire in seconds. Your logs build a complete round-count history for each firearm, with notes for loads, matches, or anything else worth remembering. TRACK PART WEAR Add the parts you care about — recoil spring, firing pin, extractor, magazine springs — and set a replacement interval for each. Every logged round counts against the parts in that firearm. Parts can count dry-fire rounds too, perfect for firing pins and strikers. GET WARNED BEFORE FAILURE Set a warning threshold and Round Count flags parts as they approach their interval, then marks them past due. A status badge on each firearm shows you at a glance when something needs attention. FULL REPLACEMENT HISTORY When you replace a part, the count resets and the replacement is recorded — date, round count, and notes — so you always know a part's true service history. YOUR WHOLE COLLECTION Pistols, rifles, and shotguns, each with a photo, notes, and its own parts list. A built-in catalog of common part names makes setup fast. BACKED UP, NEVER LOST Back up your entire database to Dropbox and restore it on a new device in seconds. Round Count is free for one firearm with up to three tracked parts — plenty to see how it fits your routine. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited firearms and parts. No subscriptions, no accounts, no ads. Your data stays on your device. If you maintain what you shoot, Round Count makes sure you never guess again.

Verdict

The call

LaserHIT and Round Count Maint are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
