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: 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. NEW: RELOAD TIMES (PRO) Your stage videos now spot reloads and show each reload time on the timer and the Run card. Mark your own reloads and drag their start and end to fit. 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. Squads are optional and free for every account. KNOW WHERE TO IMPROVE Import your PractiScore results for USPSA, PCSL and IPSC matches. 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. 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. Pro adds moving courses, 3D ranges and every game. 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, 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.

ThreatClock is a daily training timer for concealed-carry visualization and replica dry-draw practice. A THREAT cue can sound even when the phone is locked, silent, or in Focus. ARM your day, then lock the phone. ThreatClock places random cues inside the window you choose. When one fires, open the drill, run the shot clock, and log whether you visualized the draw or completed a replica dry draw. FEATURES • Random threat cues throughout your schedule window • Works through lock screen, silent mode, and Focus • Shot clock with buzzer, BEEP, or a custom recorded start sound • Six looks in Setup: Original, Blue, Red, Killer, The Dead, and Military • Home scoreboard for remaining threats versus drills logged today • Lock-screen Live Activity while armed • Apple Watch companion cues • Upcoming times hidden by default so the cue stays a surprise SAFETY — REPLICA TRAINERS ONLY ThreatClock is a timing and visualization aid for non-lethal practice. Use it only with fake, inert, dummy, or replica training devices that cannot fire a projectile. Never handle, draw, present, load, or manipulate a real firearm or any other real weapon while using this app. All live-fire training belongs with a qualified professional instructor, completely separate from this app. If a cue fires in public, visualize only. Do not touch a weapon of any kind. You use ThreatClock entirely at your own risk. Requires iOS 26. A physical iPhone is recommended.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ThreatClock at none against GM Path's 3. ThreatClock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). GM Path's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating and update cadence there is nothing between them.
