Set & Shot is the complete shooting diary, firearms record keeper, and field companion for everyone who holds a shotgun or firearms certificate — whether you're a gamekeeper managing thousands of acres, a rough shooter on a Saturday permission, a deer stalker, a clay pigeon competitor, or a target shooter at the range. Every outing, every round, every species — logged in one place, offline, and entirely private on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no data leaves your phone. DIARY & LOG Record every outing with date, time, GPS location, weather, method, firearm used, rounds fired, and quarry taken — all in a few taps. Log mixed bags with multiple species in a single entry, each with its own count and legal verdict. Backdate entries for outings you didn't log at the time. View your history by day, week, month, or year. LEGAL COMPLIANCE The built-in legality guard checks every species, method, and trap combination against current legislation for your region — including General Licences, close seasons, approved trap lists (AIHTS), night shooting restrictions, and protected species. It tells you what's permitted, what needs a licence, and what's an offence, before you act. Covers England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, United States, European Union, New Zealand, and Australia — with region-specific rules, not guesswork. FIREARMS RENEWAL EVIDENCE Generate a month-by-month Firearms Activity Certificate evidence pack showing exactly how each firearm was used: dates, locations, quarry, rounds fired — with masked serial numbers and a data-integrity hash. Export as PDF for your enquiry officer, or CSV for your own records. Choose any date range. THE GUNROOM Your gun cabinet, digitised. Log every firearm and shotgun with serial number, calibre, and notes. Track ammunition stock per calibre — rounds fired on outings are automatically deducted. Log home reloads with components, batch numbers, and notes. Set stock alerts so you never run low. All serial numbers are stored in your device's secure keystore, never in plain text. DOCUMENT VAULT Photograph and store your firearms certificate, shotgun certificate, explosives certificate, Deer Stalking Certificate, insurance, club memberships, permission letters, and correspondence — all behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your Set & Shot PIN. Certificates with an expiry date get a renewal countdown so you never miss a deadline. LAND & PERMISSIONS Record every piece of land you shoot over: name, address, acreage, landowner details, access notes, and hazards. Draw boundaries on the map. Generate a professional permission form for the landowner to sign on your phone — styled after the standard police land-approval format. MAP Drop custom pins for landmarks, hides, high seats, feeders, hazards, vehicles, poison stations, and kill locations. Name every pin. View your shot quarry overlaid on the map, filtered by species. Toggle between satellite and standard views. RANGE & CLUB SHOOTING Log range sessions and club shoots with gun club name and location — your competition and practice record alongside your field diary. ANIMALS Track your working animals — hawks, ferrets, terriers, gun dogs — with photos, details, and an automatic tally of quarry taken per animal. TRAPPING & POISON Full trap-check compliance: set a trap on the map, and the app counts down to your next legal check interval (24 hours England, 24 hours Scotland, or as required). Log poison and rodenticide use with product, batch, and amount — the guard enforces CRRU stewardship duties automatically. RENEWAL LINKS Direct links to GOV.UK firearms application forms and every UK police force's own firearms licensing page — 45 forces, individually verified, so you go straight to the right place for your constabulary. Country-specific links for users outside the UK. SET & SHOT PRO Unlock custom pin naming, ammunition stock alerts, range shooting, working animals, weather capture, and calendar import — one payment, yours forever.
