PewScore is an AI shooting coach and rating system that adapts to you. On first launch you pick your style — Casual, Range Regular, Hunter, or Competitor — and the app reshapes around it: your Coach, your drills, and your goals all fit how you actually shoot. Switch any time in Settings. PewScore is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by USPSA, IPSC, IDPA, Steel Challenge, or any shooting-sports organization. Third-party marks identify supported sports only. A FIVE-TAB EXPERIENCE • Home — your training snapshot plus a community feed: results, rating moves, and callouts from competitors you follow. • Coach — an AI coach in your pocket. Ask about stage strategy, drills, gear concepts, and what to work on next. Safety-first for casual, range, and hunting contexts. • Train — a tier-calibrated drill library (every drill carries par times matched to your tier, with the next tier's standard in view), structured Programs (4-week sprints + maintenance blocks), and Stage Plan with a full classifier reference library (Pro). • Compete — your PewScore rating and tier, division Standings, a global Leaderboard, Full Insights (rating breakdown, trends, and peak markers), and Find a Match to surface nearby competitions by sport and date. • Squad — create or join a squad to train and compete with your crew, track squad standings, and keep each other accountable. THE PEWSCORE TIER SYSTEM Nine tiers, from Competitor through G.O.A.T. Your tier reflects demonstrated skill — not a classification on paper. Take the Tier Check any time to see where you stand and what to work on next. PRIVACY-FIRST No third-party ad trackers. No data brokers. Your shooting data is yours. SUBSCRIPTIONS PewScore offers two subscription tiers, Premium and Pro, each available monthly or annually: • Premium ($9.99/month or $109.99/year) — 25 daily Coach queries, full drill library, advanced Insights • Pro ($19.99/month or $219.99/year) — 100 daily Coach queries, Stage Plan, priority Coach Insights, full drill access, and Stage Plan require Premium or Pro as shown above. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Manage and cancel in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

Make your next match better. GM Path brings your USPSA, PCSL and IPSC match results, USPSA classifier progress, stage videos and dry-fire practice together on your iPhone. NEW: PATH TO YOUR NEXT CLASS (PRO) See what USPSA shooters who made your next class were doing: matches per month, points retained, penalties, clean stages and pace, next to your own numbers, with what to work on first. NEW: PICK A HOME STYLE (PRO) Lay out Home as Classic, Season timeline or Widget grid. PREVIEW THE FIELD Open an upcoming match from your Calendar to see who usually shoots at that club in your division, how the club's stages run and how big the field usually is. Now for PCSL, IPSC, IDPA, Steel Challenge, Time Plus and ICORE too. Pro adds where you'd likely finish and your record against every regular (USPSA, PCSL and IPSC). PCSL AND IPSC Import your PCSL and IPSC match results from PractiScore alongside your USPSA matches. Each match gets the same stage breakdown: hit factor, time, hits, penalties and the points you left behind, with PCSL's K zone scored. Shoot more than one sport? Pick one on Home and its stats stay separate. Classification, Mike Rank and Thrones stay USPSA only. THRONES Start a squad of up to 5 with your range friends. Counted USPSA club matches add club points, and the top squad at each club each month takes its throne. Climb the monthly board nationwide or in your state, and scout any squad's points by member and by match. Squads are optional and free for every account. KNOW WHERE TO IMPROVE Review stage scores, time, hits, and penalties. See where you gained points and where you left them behind. Clear chart explanations help you understand each result. PLAN YOUR CLASSIFIER PROGRESS Follow your USPSA classifier history, try future scores in the planner, and compare supported classifier results with recorded samples. Official USPSA classification remains separate from GM Path estimates. TURN STAGE FOOTAGE INTO HIGHLIGHTS Import a video, review detected shots, correct timing, and add timer or stage overlays. Pro spots your reloads, shows each reload time and splits two camera angles side by side or top and bottom. Save your project and export a clip to share. DRY FIRE ON YOUR TV Practice at home: mirror GM Path to your TV with AirPlay and dry fire at targets drawn on the screen. Run timed strings and dry-fire games, or follow Today's practice, a short daily plan built from your match times and classifier scores. Pro adds moving courses, 3D ranges, every game and laser hits scored in USPSA zones. ASK MIKE ABOUT YOUR MATCHES Ask questions about your saved results and get answers with supporting match information. You choose whether to share data for AI answers. STAY CONNECTED TO YOUR CLUBS Follow clubs, track upcoming matches, preview the field, and review found-match alerts before importing your results. START FREE Free includes recent match history, stage charts, classifier tools, single-camera video editing, two dry-fire stages and two dry-fire games, and 5 Ask Mike questions per calendar month.
