FreeRange Dryfire turns your iPhone into a dry-fire training range. Save money...ammunition is expensive, train at home before you go to the range. Chamber an in-cartridge laser trainer, point your phone's camera at a paper target, and FreeRange DryFire detects every laser pulse, maps it to the exact spot on the target, scores it against the target's zones, and records it as a shot.
