What users say about Surehand app "Excellent application. A very useful tool for the judge when electronic targets are not available at the match. It will be of great help for the tournaments organized by the Shooting Federation of the Province of Buenos Aires." Dario Arcorace (Shooting Federation of the Prov. Bs. As., Argentina) "This modern application helps users to be more effective in their day-to-day training. This is especially true during the pandemic since all shooters are forced to practice at home and it’s handy to have such an easy-to-use tool. In the future I might also use this application as a coach, so I can easily monitor results of all my trainee-shooters." Светлана Бойкова (Shooter and coach, Ukraine) "Surehand is a good app. The accuracy is very precise with maximum 1 decimal to correct the value, so that is really good. I am eager for new improvements." Arno Brinkman (Shooter and referee, Netherlands) Find more information on https://surehand.digital
