Turn target photos into a clear range journal and get AI guidance to help improve your shooting technique. TAKE A PHOTO OR IMPORT UP TO 10 Capture your paper target or choose photos from your library. Shotholes orders photos by capture time, identifies supported target designs, and compares successive photos to find new hole locations. SEE EACH ROUND CLEARLY Green circles highlight new detections; blue circles show existing holes. Zoom into the original photo, switch between images, or view mapped positions on a clean target diagram when the target can be matched. Photo dates and numbered markers help you follow the sequence. KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR RECORD Add a missed mark or remove an incorrect detection. Saved results remain available on your device without paying to view them again. A new target paper can start a separate record. AI GUIDANCE TO IMPROVE YOUR TECHNIQUE Add your firearm model and shooting distance for guidance based on your target type and shot distribution. Get possible explanations for your patterns and focused practice suggestions for grip consistency, trigger control and follow-through.
