TopShot Scoring
Read full descriptionHide full description
TopShot runs your shooting club's match day, from the squad list to the final leaderboard. CLUB SHOOTS • See the shoots your club has planned and RSVP, including the guests you are bringing. • Open a shoot to score it — squad by squad, stage by stage, in the order you actually shoot. SCORING AND THE SHOT TIMER • The timer listens for each shot and records every split, so you get the draw and each transition, not just the total time. • Tap in hits against your own club's scoring zones and point values, not a fixed set someone else chose. • The live table updates as scores go in, so everyone can see where the match stands. • It works with no signal. Scores are kept on the phone and sync when you are back in coverage, and the screen tells you how many are still waiting. YOUR OWN TRAINING • A shot timer you can use on your own, with the same split detection. • Log each string against a drill and a firearm, with a photo of the target. • See how you are going over time: whether you are getting faster, whether you are getting more consistent, how much you are shooting, and which drills you have been avoiding. CLUB CHAT • Club announcements, general club chat and direct messages. • Block anyone you would rather not hear from, and report a message to your club's staff. FOR CLUB STAFF • Score any shoot in your club. • Work through reported messages from the Reports screen. Create an account, then join your club with the registration link they send you — or set your club up at topshot.team.
