About

DrillShot

This app helps competitive shooters train effectively by simulating drills with configurable parameters and tracking performance. It allows users to set up custom loadouts and practice with various drill styles, including timed intervals and randomized shot counts. Users can analyze their progress, compete head-to-head, and even use AI to scan and create drills from real targets.

Highlights
  • Customizable drill parameters
  • Loadout and gear management
  • Timed drill execution with audio cues
  • AI target scanning for custom drills
  • Head-to-head game mode
  • Shot-by-shot performance tracking
  • Progress and personal best analysis

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.

About

Strelok Internal Ballistics

This app helps handloaders predict firearm load performance, analyze powder temperature sensitivity, and track rifle components. It offers a comprehensive database of published loads and allows users to calibrate predictions to their specific rifle and chronographed velocities. The tool operates offline and integrates with other apps in its ecosystem.

Highlights
  • Predict muzzle velocity and chamber pressure
  • Calibrate predictions to your rifle
  • Automatic velocity node and charge finding
  • Track powder temperature sensitivity
  • Offline database of 34,000+ loads
  • Logbook with component and chronograph data

Strelok Internal Ballistics is the mobile Quick Load: an interior-ballistics workbench for precision handloaders. It's the load-development companion to Strelok Pro — Pro solves the bullet in flight, this app helps you build the cartridge, and predicts what that cartridge will actually do before you ever pull the trigger. PREDICT YOUR LOAD — ON DEVICE - Pick a cartridge, powder and bullet, and the engine predicts muzzle velocity, peak chamber pressure and case fill across the whole charge range. - A live chart plots velocity and pressure against the SAAMI/CIP maximum, with a clear over-pressure warning zone. - The engine is fit to 34,000+ published loads and runs entirely on your device — no signal needed at the bench. CALIBRATE IT TO YOUR RIFLE - Enter the velocities you actually chronographed and the engine tunes itself to your barrel and powder lot, so every prediction is personalized — not a generic table. LOAD LAB — YOUR DATA, SMARTER - Find your velocity node (the flat spot / OCW window) and your lowest-spread charge automatically. - Track powder temperature sensitivity (fps/degF) and barrel round-count and life. - The more you log, the sharper your load development gets. A REFERENCE THAT WORKS OFFLINE - 34,000+ published loads across 519 cartridges and 100+ powders, normalized from Hodgdon, Vihtavuori, Alliant and Norma data. - Browse by cartridge, then filter by bullet weight and powder — start/max charge, velocity, pressure and COAL, with SAAMI/CIP context. The whole catalog lives on your device. A SMARTER LOGBOOK - Record loads with full component detail and chronograph strings. - Automatic statistics: average velocity, standard deviation (SD) and extreme spread (ES). - Track rifle profiles and your powder, primer, brass and bullet inventory. PART OF THE STRELOK ECOSYSTEM - One Strelok account works here and in Strelok Pro. - Develop a load here, then send it to Strelok Pro with its measured muzzle velocity (Rifles > Import from Reload on the Pro side). - Strelok Cloud keeps your logbook, rifles and developed loads in sync across devices. BUILT FOR SAFETY Predictions are a development aid, not published load data. The app always shows the start charge, clamps and warns against SAAMI/CIP maximum, and reminds you to start low and work up while watching for pressure signs. Always cross-check against your component manufacturer's current data. This app is not a maximum-charge authority — you are responsible for safe reloading practice. FREE & PRO Free: browse the full catalog, keep your logbook, and run the prediction engine. Pro adds chrono calibration and Load Lab analytics — monthly or yearly subscription (7-day free trial), or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
