Blast Buddy vs CQS Performance

Train smarter. Shoot faster. Win more. Blast Buddy is the shot timer and training companion for competitive shooters, airsoft players and paintball enthusiasts. Time your drills with nothing but your iPhone, film your runs, and turn every session into data you can improve on. Built for IPSC, USPSA and IDPA practice, at the range or in dry fire. FREE SHOT TIMER, NO SHOT LIMIT Your device's microphone detects every shot in real time, no extra hardware needed. Fixed or random start delay, splits to the hundredth and unlimited shots, free. Tune detection for firearms, airsoft or paintball with the audio calibration wizard, and choose from five timer skins. NEW: PAR TIMER Set a par time and train hands-free. A start beep, then a lower beep when the window closes. Run a single rep, a set number of reps or a loop, then check your best and average times. VIDEO ANALYSIS WITH PRO OVERLAYS Import a video of your run and Blast Buddy finds the start signal and every shot from the audio. Fix any marker in the waveform editor, then export with the timer, splits and shot list burned into the video. 18 overlay styles, ready to share. MULTI-ANGLE EDITOR Film the same run from two cameras. Blast Buddy syncs them by sound and cuts them together: side by side, stacked, picture-in-picture or auto-cut highlights. Projects are saved, so you can reopen them and keep editing. STAGE BUILDER WITH 3D & AR Design stages with paper targets, steel plates, walls, barrels and fault lines. Walk the course in 3D or augmented reality, export the briefing as PDF, or let the AI generate a stage for you. AI PERSONAL COACH Blast Buddy analyzes your draw-to-first-shot speed, split consistency, accuracy tradeoffs and fatigue patterns, then recommends specific drills for your weak points. PERFORMANCE ANALYTICS Track split times, cadence, consistency and hit factors across sessions. See your week at a glance on the Home screen and spot trends over time. COMPETITION SCORING Score alpha, charlie and delta hits, track hit factor and power factor, and pair a scored session with its video. APPLE WATCH, LIVE ACTIVITIES AND SYNC Run the timer from your wrist and capture heart rate. Keep your timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Sessions, stages and settings sync across iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Works with your SpecialPie shot timer or just your device's microphone.
