SightQuick is the faster, smarter way to zero your rifle, pistol, or bow. Print a target, fire a group, snap a photo — SightQuick reads your shots and tells you exactly how to adjust. No more guesswork, no more "Kentucky windage," no more burning a box of ammo to chase your zero. The math happens on your phone, in seconds. HOW IT WORKS 1. Generate & print a target. Pick your paper size — Letter, A4, Tabloid, or large ANSI/ARCH sheets for a print shop — and print a uniquely-coded target on your own printer. 2. Shoot a group. Fire three or more shots at the orange aim dot from a steady rest. 3. Scan it. Photograph the target — even at an angle. SightQuick straightens the image, overlays a virtual MOA/MIL grid sized to your optic and distance, finds every hole, and measures the group against your point of aim. 4. Dial it in. Rifle and pistol: get exact windage/elevation clicks, then fire another group so SightQuick calibrates to your optic's real-world click value. Archery: it tells you which way and how far to move your sight. WHY SHOOTERS LOVE IT • Rifle, pistol red dots, and archery — MOA or MIL optics at any distance, in yards or meters. • Imperial or metric, defaulting to your region. Targets print clean and gridless — the grid is virtual, drawn at scan time to match your setup, so one sheet works at any distance. • Reads your shots automatically with on-device computer vision — then lets you confirm or fine-tune every hole with a tap. • Smart two-group calibration accounts for how your optic actually tracks vs. its marked clicks. • Everything runs on your device. Your photos never leave your phone. • Save a profile for every setup and keep a history of every session. • Every group reports its size — extreme spread and mean radius, in inches/cm and MOA/MIL. • Reloaders: print a numbered load-development ladder, shoot a group per charge weight, and scan the whole sheet in one photo — SightQuick ranks the groups and highlights your accuracy node. • Shooting at a partner range? Activate a SightQuick range target by scanning its code — no credit needed. FAIR, SIMPLE PRICING Your first target is free. After that, buy print credits — each credit creates one uniquely-coded target, good for a complete zeroing session you can re-photograph as you dial in. Nothing to ship, nothing to throw away. Get to your zero faster. Download SightQuick and make your next range trip count.
