Shotgun Profiler will help you take all the tedious guesswork out of patterning your shotgun! Our application uses our custom 42 x 48-inch targets and built-in image processing to automatically analyze your gun’s pattern from a photograph of your shot target. Simply shoot one of our targets, photograph the target, and analyze to get detailed information about your shotgun’s performance. Shotgun Profiler uses our proprietary image processing engine to find pellet holes on the target. It then computes statistics and profile information about your shotgun pattern in just a few seconds - a process that used to consume hours of tedious and error-prone work counting pellet holes by hand! With this interactive application and its heavy-hitting analysis, you will know everything about how your gun performs! * Auto find and count pellet holes on paper. * Finds point of impact accuracy (pattern offset), windage, and elevation. * Computes pattern density and percent of pellets within an analysis circle. * Killzone and gap analysis displaying “survival paths” and “pattern voids.” * Supports three target types, large orange patterning, large green patterning, and small game target. * Supports English and Metric units for views and analysis. * Supports a uniformity map view. * NEW! Adds an auto-calculation of the best fit circle that contains 75% of the shot pellets. Shotgun Profiler is designed to work in conjunction with our “Turbo Target” targets which are available for sale on our web site.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Guidefitter at 4.9 against Shotgun Profiler's 4.4. Guidefitter also leads on ratings volume (4.9K vs 5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). Shotgun Profiler's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Guidefitter holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guidefitter has 4.9K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Shotgun Profiler's written reviews are positive against 91% of Guidefitter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shotgun Profiler ships an update every 6 months, Guidefitter monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
