About

PewScore

PewScore is an AI shooting coach and rating system that adapts to you. On first launch you pick your style — Casual, Range Regular, Hunter, or Competitor — and the app reshapes around it: your Coach, your drills, and your goals all fit how you actually shoot. Switch any time in Settings. PewScore is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by USPSA, IPSC, IDPA, Steel Challenge, or any shooting-sports organization. Third-party marks identify supported sports only. A FIVE-TAB EXPERIENCE • Home — your training snapshot plus a community feed: results, rating moves, and callouts from competitors you follow. • Coach — an AI coach in your pocket. Ask about stage strategy, drills, gear concepts, and what to work on next. Safety-first for casual, range, and hunting contexts. • Train — a tier-calibrated drill library (every drill carries par times matched to your tier, with the next tier's standard in view), structured Programs (4-week sprints + maintenance blocks), and Stage Plan with a full classifier reference library (Pro). • Compete — your PewScore rating and tier, division Standings, a global Leaderboard, Full Insights (rating breakdown, trends, and peak markers), and Find a Match to surface nearby competitions by sport and date. • Squad — create or join a squad to train and compete with your crew, track squad standings, and keep each other accountable. THE PEWSCORE TIER SYSTEM Nine tiers, from Competitor through G.O.A.T. Your tier reflects demonstrated skill — not a classification on paper. Take the Tier Check any time to see where you stand and what to work on next. PRIVACY-FIRST No third-party ad trackers. No data brokers. Your shooting data is yours. SUBSCRIPTIONS PewScore offers two subscription tiers, Premium and Pro, each available monthly or annually: • Premium ($9.99/month or $109.99/year) — 25 daily Coach queries, full drill library, advanced Insights • Pro ($19.99/month or $219.99/year) — 100 daily Coach queries, Stage Plan, priority Coach Insights, full drill access, and Stage Plan require Premium or Pro as shown above.
