Range Buddy vs Notch

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. Record, Score, and Share Your Shooting Hit record and Range Buddy captures your run, then overlays your shot times, splits, and scored hits onto the clip—save to your camera roll and share in seconds. Score against 12 targets including B-8, IPSC, USPSA, IDPA, steel, the FBI QIT and Rangemaster Q quals, and Dot Torture—or free-shoot with no target at all. Film Studio—Review, Sync, and Compare Turn range footage into training video. Review a single run, sync multiple camera angles, or compare up to four runs side by side with frame-by-frame stepping. Waveform editing lines up the beep and every shot, captions generate automatically, and exports come out landscape, square, or vertical. Breakdown—Coach the Video Markup and annotate on the video. Drop callouts on exact frames, tag steps of the draw, set slow-motion sections, and overlay a skeletal wireframe to show body position through the run. Record a voiceover/picture-in-picture, then export a Coach's Cut—the clean run first, then your analysis with markups, slow motion, and narration baked in.
