PRECISION ACADEMY - LONG-RANGE SHOOTING SIMULATOR Train like a real long-range marksman. Precision Academy is the most realistic tactical shooting simulator on iPhone, built around a certified ballistic engine that calculates every shot using real-world physics. Whether you're a sport shooter looking to sharpen your skills off the range, a ballistics enthusiast who wants to understand what happens between the muzzle and the target, or a gamer seeking the most authentic sniper experience on mobile — this is your training ground. REALISTIC BALLISTICS — EVERY SHOT IS AN EQUATION Forget arcade shooters. Every bullet follows a real trajectory computed in real time: gravity drop, wind drift, Coriolis effect, atmospheric pressure, temperature, altitude and humidity. The engine uses the same equations as professional ballistic calculators. Adjust your turrets in MRAD or MOA, read the wind, control your breathing, and send it. 8 LEGENDARY PRECISION RIFLES Progress through an authentic arsenal spanning every major long-range caliber: - CZ 457 MDT (.22 LR) — Learn the fundamentals - Ruger Precision Rifle (.223 Rem / 5.56 NATO) - Remington 700 SPS Tactical (.308 Win / 7.62 NATO) - Tikka T3x TAC A1 (6.5 Creedmoor) - Accuracy International AT (.300 Win Mag) - Sako TRG 42 (.338 Lapua Magnum) - Barrett M82A1 (.50 BMG) — The legend Each weapon features real ballistic data: G1/G7 ballistic coefficients, muzzle velocity, bullet weight, barrel twist rate and matching ammunition. FFP SCOPE SIMULATION Experience a faithfully reproduced First Focal Plane Vortex Viper PST Gen II reticle with functional MRAD/MOA turret systems. Adjust elevation and windage click by click, just like on a real rifle scope. TACTICAL CAMPAIGN — 6 CHAPTERS, 30+ MISSIONS Follow a structured progression path from rookie to elite: - Chapter 1: Fundamentals — sight alignment, trigger control - Chapter 2: Turret mastery — elevation and windage adjustments - Chapter 3: Wind reading — crosswind, headwind, variable conditions - Chapter 4: Advanced ballistics — moving targets, extreme distances - Chapter 5: Environmental factors — altitude, temperature, pressure - Chapter 6: Elite operations — combined skills under pressure Every mission teaches a real concept used by long-range shooters worldwide. Briefings explain the theory, then you apply it behind the scope. DAILY CHALLENGES A new tactical challenge every day. Build streaks, earn bonus XP, and push your limits. Stay sharp day after day. DOPE LOG Record every engagement in your personal Data On Previous Engagements logbook: corrections applied, weather conditions, distance, impact results. Build your own ballistic database over time — just like real precision shooters do. DETAILED DEBRIEF After every shot: impact map, accuracy score, correction analysis, objective tracking and XP rewards. Understand exactly what happened and what to improve. HAPTIC FEEDBACK & TACTICAL AUDIO Feel the recoil through haptic feedback. Hear the turret clicks, the trigger break, the supersonic crack. An immersive experience designed for precision. 100% FREE — NO ADS — NO DATA COLLECTION Precision Academy is completely free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no account required. All weapons unlock through progression. Your data stays on your device — always. Powered by the EliteRange ballistic calculation engine.

Yonder is a phone game with ballistics validated against Doppler radar. You range a target through a precision reticle, build the firing solution, dial or hold your elevation, read the wind, and send it. Then you watch the trace and see exactly where the round went. The whole game is the first-round hit. No sighters. No walking it in. Just the cold bore shot, as many times as you want, anywhere, in any conditions you choose. DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT. BRING YOUR DATA. Yonder runs a Modified Point-Mass solver with G7 drag, real atmospheric modeling, spin drift, Coriolis, and aerodynamic jump. It is validated against Hornady's 4DOF Doppler model to within 0.02 mil on multiple match loads out to 1,100 yards. At 1,000 yards that is under three-quarters of an inch. Check it against your own DOPE book, line by line. If our numbers don't match the ones you have for your rifle, we want to hear about it. COLD BORE, THE DAILY One shot. Everyone gets the same one. No second tries. Hit it, keep your streak, and see where you landed against everyone else who took it today. THE SKILLS • Range unknown-distance targets off the reticle, then dial or hold the come-up. • Read the crosswind and hold or dial your windage. • Keep the rifle level with the on-screen bubble (it reads your phone's tilt). • Every skill has its own switch (wind, cant, advanced drift), so you can isolate the exact thing you want to drill. THE GEAR • Scope bodies from a 1-10x LPVO to a 5-45x, with true first-focal-plane zoom. • A reticle library built from published subtensions: mil-dot, tree grids, fine mil rulers, chevron BDCs, and a clean hunting duplex. • A full cartridge and load library with DOPE cards, plus in-app BC truing for your exact handload. MORE WAYS TO SHOOT • Know-Your-Limits, Texas Star, PRS Skills, and Speed Steel stages. • Hunting scenarios on big-country habitat backdrops. • Hostage and no-shoot discipline targets. • DOPE-from-memory, wind-call, and max-point-blank-range fundamentals drills. • Shot-clock pressure with per-scenario stats. • Head-to-head pass-and-play on a single device. THE ACADEMY Takes you from "what is a mil" to reading a DOPE card and calling wind. Dozens of lessons across eight units, with graded gates and a final capstone shot. No account required. FREE AND PRO The core loop is free: practice, fundamentals drills, the daily, and Academy foundations. Yonder Pro unlocks the full scope, reticle, and cartridge library, every drill and stage, and custom loads. Yonder Pro is offered as a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime unlock. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. PRIVACY No ads and no account. Your profiles, scores, and progress live on your device, and the trainer runs fully offline. The daily board uses an anonymous handle. Usage stats are anonymous and are never linked to you, tracked across apps, or sold. IMPORTANT Yonder is a training and entertainment simulator. It is not a firing solution for live fire. Always verify real-world data against your own equipment, conditions, and a qualified source.
