This is a companion app for the Clip-N-Shoot Target product. Dry Fire Laser Training Kit for Smart Phone/Tablet | NO Subscription | NO Calibration | FREE Downloadable App | Works with Laserlyte Pink Rhino Laser Ammo Please visit www.iDryfire.com for more info. Clip-N-Shoot Target is the new “hybrid” Dry Fire tool that combines physical targets and software into one effective training system. Every Clip-n-Shoot comes with a custom phone stand that is non-slip and is height + angle adjustable. What can the app do? PAR TIME – This mode is for those of us who want to practice draw speed. Imagine you want to practice drawing from a holster and then hit a target with one shot, all within 3 seconds. You would set PAR TIME to 3 seconds. After the START signal, draw your pistol and take one shot at the target. Three seconds later, you’ll hear a beep signifying the end of the session. Any hits on target after the par time signal will not be registered. Shot Allowance – Set the number of shots available for the current session. Usually set to the number of shots in the magazine. Or pretend you're in a Die Hard movie and set it to infinity. (We don't recommend doing this unless you're actually Bruce Willis.) AUTO RESTART – aka 'hands-free' mode. Set the amount of time you need between sessions, and new sessions start after the set amount of time. SOUND – Practice getting boring? Select different sound options! (Be sure to check out our "Special" sounds!)
