ShotPulse: The Shot Timer That Follows Your Shots Most shot timers rely on a microphone. In busy indoor ranges, they often pick up shots from nearby shooters, making results unreliable. They also struggle with dry fire training, where there is no gunshot to detect, and suppressed firearms or low-recoil platforms often require constant sensitivity adjustments. ShotPulse takes a different approach. Instead of listening for sound, ShotPulse uses a compact Bluetooth motion sensor to detect the movement generated by your firearm or trigger action. By measuring movement rather than noise, it accurately identifies your shots—regardless of what's happening around you. Whether you're training at a crowded range, outdoors, or practising dry fire at home, ShotPulse delivers consistent shot timing you can trust. How It Works Simply attach ShotPulse to your firearm or wear it on your index finger using the included strap. Open the ShotPulse app, connect via Bluetooth, and choose your firearm, training mode, sensor position, and sensitivity. As you train, ShotPulse detects each shot-related movement and instantly sends precise timing data to the app in real time. Track Every Session ShotPulse automatically records key performance metrics, including: First shot time Split times Total shot count Rounds per minute (RPM) Complete session results Every session is saved automatically, making it easy to review previous training, compare performance, and monitor your progress over time. Built for Every Training Style Dry Fire Detect trigger and hammer movement without firing a round, allowing realistic practice without relying on sound. Airsoft & Air Guns Fine-tune sensitivity for low-impulse platforms, including airsoft, CO₂, and air-powered firearms. Live Fire Time only your own shots—even in noisy, crowded shooting ranges—without microphone interference. PulseAim Integration Pair ShotPulse with PulseAim to combine precise shot timing with real-time target scoring and shot group analysis. No Subscription Required The ShotPulse app is free to download, and every feature is included with your ShotPulse device. There are no subscriptions, recurring fees, or locked features.

Bluetooth Bluetooth is required to connect to your ShotPulse sensor, receive shot timing data, configure device settings, and manage the sensor. Without Bluetooth access, the app cannot communicate with the device and its core features will not function. Location On iOS, location permission is required by the operating system to scan for certain Bluetooth devices. ShotPulse requests this permission solely to meet this system requirement. ShotPulse does not access, collect, store, transmit, or track your GPS location. No location data is used or displayed anywhere in the app.
