DrillShot is built for shooters who compete — and want to train like it. Whether you're chasing a classification, prepping for your next match, or just out to beat last week's run, DrillShot turns range time into focused, competitive reps you'll actually want to repeat. TRAIN WITH WHAT YOU CARRY New in this release. Keep your guns and their magazines in DrillShot, then build a loadout for the drill you're about to run: this gun, these mags, this many rounds in each. Your drill's round count and reload points come from that — "3 x 10" means thirty rounds with a reload at ten and at twenty, so you reload where the gun actually runs dry instead of at an arbitrary number you picked. Set your own reload par time. (Qualification takes its shot count from your loadout but places no reload cues, because it fires a random number of shots each interval.) Drills too big for what you're carrying tell you why, instead of failing halfway through a string. RUN TIMED DRILLS Configurable rounds, interval times, prep countdowns, rest periods and reload windows, with audio beeps on every phase so your eyes stay downrange. Three drill styles: - Standard timed intervals - Bill Drill - every shot on one open-ended par - Qualification - randomized shot counts with per-interval par times Color calls and surprise no-shoot rounds keep you honest under pressure. START FREE, GUIDED The Training Path walks a new shooter up one concept at a time - first shots, then the clock, then scoring, then doubles, then curveballs, then a magazine change - and every rung is free. TRAIN ON REAL TARGETS Seven built-in targets, each with its own scoring zones and drill calls: Qualification Silhouette, Universal Training and Balloons are free; 9-Circle, Dual-Zone Silhouette, Cardboard Silhouette (A/C/D) and an IDPA-style points-down silhouette are Pro. Shooting something else? Photograph it and AI target scanning builds a matching drill for you. (Scanning is scoped strictly to target training - no tactical or firearm-handling advice - and asks for a retake when a photo is unclear.) GO HEAD-TO-HEAD Game mode runs multiple shooters in a rotation and keeps everyone in the fight. Play 301 - a darts-style countdown where every ring has a value and the first to hit exactly zero wins - solo or head-to-head. TRACK PROGRESS, BEAT YOUR PRs Score every run shot by shot, see what the drill called against what you actually hit, attach target photos, and watch your consistency and personal bests climb. WHAT'S FREE Three targets, one shooter profile, the whole Training Path, and your five most recent sessions in your history. Personal records and competition scoring are free too. WHAT PRO ADDS Unlimited history, the four Pro targets, AI target scanning and photo scoring, Gear & Loadouts, Game Mode, extra shooter profiles, saved custom targets and presets, and export. DrillShot is a training and sport-shooting tool for safe, legal practice. Always follow all firearm safety rules and local laws. Your training data stays on your device unless you choose to export it. When you scan a target, that photo is sent to our AI service to read it.
