Yonder is a long-range shooting trainer: not a shooting game, and not a ballistic calculator. The ballistics are validated against Doppler-radar-derived drag data, and you do the work a shooter does. You range a target through a precision reticle, build the firing solution, dial or hold your elevation, read the wind, and send it. Then you watch the trace and see exactly where the round went. It all comes down to the first-round hit. No sighters. No walking it in. Just the cold bore shot, as many times as you want, anywhere, in any conditions you choose. DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT. BRING YOUR DATA. Yonder runs a Modified Point-Mass solver with G7 drag, real atmospheric modeling, spin drift, Coriolis, and aerodynamic jump. It is validated against Hornady's 4DOF Doppler model to within 0.02 mil on multiple match loads out to 1,100 yards. At 1,000 yards that is under three-quarters of an inch. Check it against your own DOPE book, line by line. If our numbers don't match the ones you have for your rifle, we want to hear about it. COLD BORE, THE DAILY One shot. Everyone gets the same one. No second tries. Hit it, keep your streak, and see where you landed against everyone else who took it today. THE SKILLS • Range unknown-distance targets off the reticle, then dial or hold the come-up. • Read the crosswind and hold or dial your windage. • Keep the rifle level with the on-screen bubble (it reads your phone's tilt). • Every skill has its own switch (wind, cant, advanced drift), so you can isolate the exact thing you want to drill. THE GEAR • First- and second-focal-plane glass: 62 first-focal-plane scope bodies, from a 1-10x LPVO to a 5-45x, where the reticle grows and shrinks with the zoom, plus second-focal-plane scopes where it stays one size and reads true at a single magnification, the way real glass of each kind works. • A reticle library built from published subtensions: mil-dot, tree grids, fine mil rulers, chevron BDCs, and a clean second-focal-plane hunting duplex. • A full cartridge and load library with DOPE cards, plus in-app BC truing for your exact handload. MORE WAYS TO SHOOT • Know-Your-Limits, Texas Star, PRS Skills, and Speed Steel stages. • Hunting scenarios on big-country habitat backdrops. • Hostage and no-shoot discipline targets. • DOPE-from-memory, wind-call, and max-point-blank-range fundamentals drills. • Shot-clock pressure with per-scenario stats. • Head-to-head pass-and-play on a single device. THE ACADEMY Takes you from "what is a mil" to reading a DOPE card and calling wind. Dozens of lessons across eight units, with graded gates and a final capstone shot. No account required. FREE AND PRO The core loop is free: practice, fundamentals drills, the daily, and Academy foundations. Yonder Pro unlocks the full scope, reticle, and cartridge library, every drill and stage, and custom loads. Yonder Pro is offered as a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime unlock. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. PRIVACY No ads and no account. Your profiles, scores, and progress live on your device, and the trainer runs fully offline. The daily board uses an anonymous handle. We never track you across other apps or sell your data. IMPORTANT Yonder is a training and entertainment simulator. It is not a firing solution for live fire. Always verify real-world data against your own equipment, conditions, and a qualified source.

Step up to the line. Downrange: Sharpshooter is a precision shooting range simulator built for landscape play on iPhone and iPad — steady your aim, read the wind, and chase the bullseye across three distinct ranges. TWO WAYS TO AIM Drag across the screen for classic touch aiming, or tilt your device with real gyroscope controls for a hands-on, physical feel. Switch between them anytime, mid-session. FOUR WEAPONS, EACH WITH ITS OWN FEEL Pistol, rifle, shotgun, and sniper rifle — each with a distinct reticle, handling, and aim-down-sights view. Unlock and progress through your weapon locker as you play. THREE RANGES TO MASTER Take your shot outdoors under open sky with real wind drift, indoors on a tight, controlled course, or out in the desert among barrels, fences, and long sightlines. THREE WAYS TO PLAY - Free Shoot: no timer, no pressure — settle into relaxed target practice at your own pace. - Timed Challenge: the clock starts the moment you step up. Score as many points as you can in 60 seconds. - Precision Course: five stages, each tougher than the last. Hit the goal to advance and see how far your accuracy can carry you. TARGETS THAT FIGHT BACK Steel plates, paper bullseyes, clay pigeons, bottles, and gongs — every target type scores differently, and wind speed genuinely affects your shot. PROGRESS THAT MEANS SOMETHING Earn rank and points through skill alone. Track your accuracy, shots fired, and best combo in your stats. No pay-to-win, no shortcuts. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Downrange collects no personal data, requires no account, and shows no ads. Everything you do stays on your device — this is a game built to be played, not tracked. Whether you've got sixty seconds or an hour, Downrange is built for landscape play, real precision, and the satisfaction of a clean shot.
