Keep a complete shooting logbook, from the gear you bring to the results you record. Range Pocket by ArmorySync brings range visits, firearm and ammo inventory, practice plans and competition records into one place. AMMO LIBRARY Scan a supported ammo barcode or browse the built-in catalog to fill in a new ammo type. Search and filter by brand and caliber, review product details, and edit them before saving. The catalog and barcode lookup work offline, with manual entry available when a product is not listed. Track optional bullet weight and bullet type alongside your existing inventory and purchase history. LOADING LAB Organize your reloading records with Load Data and Range Tests. Save cartridges, load recipes and source references. Keep bullet, case, propellant and primer records together, then record test sessions, notes and velocity samples. Review your recorded results in charts. Loading Lab records the data you enter; it does not generate load recommendations. LOG EVERY RANGE VISIT Save the range, date, duration and cost. Connect the firearms and ammunition you used, record rounds fired, and add target photos and notes. Export and share a range-visit report as a PDF. KNOW YOUR GEAR Keep firearms, parts, accessories and ammunition organized with photos and details. Review maintenance, modifications and ammunition history. Set maintenance reminders by round count, recurring interval or a specific date. FIND YOUR NEXT RANGE Search the map for a range, view its details and save a place for a future visit. PRACTICE WITH A PURPOSE Build training plans from drills, link them to range visits and track completed practice. Review your sessions and training totals as your history grows. REVISIT YOUR TARGETS Keep target photos with your visit records. When you choose, request A.R.I.C. AI-assisted analysis of a selected target photo and relevant shooting context. KEEP MATCH DAY ORGANIZED Use dedicated NRA ARC and Bullseye tools for match setup, scoring and tournament standings. Optional connected competition features support shared match workflows. PERSONAL RECORDS AND CONNECTED FEATURES Personal firearm, ammunition, range-visit and training records are stored on your device. Information you choose to export, share or submit to a connected feature leaves your device for that action. Accounts, subscriptions, map search, shared competition tools and requested A.R.I.C. analysis use online services. See the Privacy Policy for details. RECORD LIMITS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS Ammunition tracking and each Loading Lab category start with an allowance of two saved records. Premium and Premium Instructor remove these record limits. Optional subscriptions are available in the app. Range Pocket by ArmorySync. Your gear. Your visits. Your record.
