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. About Us Target Telemetrics is committed to creating technology that takes the complexity of target shooting and analysis and makes it simple and fun for every sports shooter.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RCBS Reloading App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RCBS Reloading App has 1.2K 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 33% of RCBS Reloading App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shotgun Profiler ships an update every 6 months, RCBS Reloading App every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
