Range IQ turns a simple photo of your target into accurate scoring in seconds. Take a picture (or import one) and on-device AI automatically detects shot holes, identifies 10 m targets (rifle or pistol) and calculates your score using official ISSF rules — with optional decimal scoring up to 10.9. Everything runs 100% on your iPhone: no account, no internet required, and no data uploaded to any server. It’s built for the range and for match day, even when you’re offline — with privacy by design. Go beyond a one-off score: keep a clean session history, review every shot with its exact position, and follow your progress over time with performance stats (average, consistency, best shots/sessions) plus dispersion views (scatter/heatmap). Free: 3 analyses per day. Range IQ Pro: unlimited analyses (monthly or yearly subscription). Link to the EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Scan. Score. Improve.

More enjoyment at the range. More good sessions to remember. AlphaShot brings sports shooting, archery and clay shooting into a logbook that makes you look forward to going again. On iPhone and iPad, keep your results, celebrate small wins and see how your shooting develops. FROM A PHOTO TO USEFUL INSIGHTS Photograph or import your target. On compatible models, target recognition and calibration, followed by shot-hole detection, are automatic. Check the suggestions, adjust them if needed, then explore scores, shot groups and measurements supported by the target model. Photo analysis runs on your device. Manual calibration and entry remain available; you can also place shots on a virtual target or enter scores with the keypad. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Choose from 45 catalogue target models for rifle, pistol, archery and other disciplines. Find series by shooter, firearm, discipline and distance. Track scores, groups, centring and personal records. Charts, shot overlays, heatmaps and radar profiles help you understand comparable data. Discover trophies as your recorded shots, regular practice and best groups add up. CLAY SHOOTING BELONGS HERE TOO Trap, skeet, universal trench, Compak sporting or sporting clays: keep rounds, results and statistics together. Manage several shooters, prepare courses and stations, organise competitions and follow the standings. YOUR EQUIPMENT, YOUR OWN COMPARISONS Keep firearms, equipment and configurations at hand.

Recorded use linked to the relevant ammunition and firearm automatically updates estimated stock. Review purchases, use by firearm, costs and manual withdrawals in their histories.
