Stop guessing. Start planning. Super Hit Factor is the stage planning calculator competitive shooters actually need. Punch in your target Hit Factor, set up the stage, and see exactly how fast you need to shoot. Or flip it: set your time and find out what HF you can realistically hit. TWO WAYS TO USE IT: • Hit Factor Mode – Got a goal HF? See the time you need to shoot and the accuracy required. • Time Mode – Know your time limit? See what HF you can actually achieve. PLAN YOUR ACCURACY: Adjust your shot plan on the fly. Perfect accuracy? All Alphas. Expecting to drop some Cs on tough shots? See how it changes your time. Want to push speed and accept some Ds? Watch the numbers update in real time. SPEED TRADEOFFS: See exactly what each lower-scoring hit costs you in time. Shoot a Mike? The app shows you how much time that costs at your target HF. If you can make it up with an Alpha faster than that, go for it. If not, keep moving. BUILT FOR SHOOTERS, BY SHOOTERS: No ads. No subscriptions. No b******t. Just a clean, fast tool that does exactly what you need when you're standing at the stage brief. Works for both Minor and Major scoring. PERFECT FOR: • USPSA/IPSC competitors • Stage planning and strategy • Understanding speed vs accuracy tradeoffs • Pre-match preparation • Realistic goal setting Download it. Use it. Shoot faster.
