The G-Sight Laser Training Pro Mobile Application takes dry-fire training to the next level, allowing you to safely train when you can't get to the shooting range. This app will record your laser shots so you can review your performance and improve your technique. It requires no special targets; use your favorite paper targets. After making absolutely sure firearms are unloaded and no live ammo is in your training area, align the target edges as closely as possible to the screen edges and press start. The app will automatically calibrate. Return to your shooting position and begin training. When your session is complete you can review all your shots by swiping right or left. Press the “Train Again” button to restart your training. Sessions are up to 5 minutes long. Tips: -Use an iPhone 5C or newer. Older devices may not be powerful enough. If you see a black screen, when trying to set up, your device may be too slow to use it. -Suggest you run a “Test Setup” before starting. It will let you know if there’s any potential issues. -Avoid bright light, especially sunlight on or near the target. If you see large patches of light reflecting off the target in your phone screen, you may encounter detection issues. -Avoid using damaged targets. Creases on the target, or on the edges of the target may reflect light as well. The target on the back of older user manuals will likely give problems. -Avoid having shiny targets or shiny objects, especially tape on or near the target. -Avoid having constantly changing lighting such as shadows on or near the target. -Avoid shaking the phone/target while in a session. -Phone should be placed within a yard of the target. For best performance performance, this app is intended for use with G-Sight branded ELMS and Gen 2 training lasers only. It may work with others without guarantee.

BRING YOUR RANGE PRACTICE HOME. Use your own handgun or rifle for laser-based dry firing. Work with the sights, scope, ballistic data, and shooting setup you already know. LaserHIT turns your available indoor space into a dry-fire range with realistic sounds and a customizable Virtual Spotter. See or hear results specific to the Drill you choose. YOUR SHOT. IN REAL NUMBERS. See where every hit lands immediately in inches, centimeters, MOA, or MIL. Measure groups in inches, centimeters, TMOA, SMOA, MIL, or MRAD. Match the units to your optic and the way you already work at the range. Split and elapsed time are measured to 0.1 second. KNOW HOW SHARP YOU CAN BE. Want to see a 0.052-inch difference on your target at 100 yards? Want to know you can place three shots at 5 yards in under one second? And not just once. Do it consistently. Repeat it. Know what you and your firearm can deliver. SCORE BY THE RULES YOU PRACTICE. In competition, a hit is not simply a hit. Where it lands, decimal values, X-counts, penalties, and time can determine the result. LaserHIT applies the scoring method appropriate to the selected Drill at the moment of impact. Results can include decimal or whole-number scoring, X-counts, Zone scores, Hit Factor, Final Time with penalties, and other competition-specific results. Prefer placement instead of score? See or hear each hit as a correction or location. With multiple targets and recreated distances, each result stays connected to the target and distance actually hit. THE ROOM STAYS. DISTANCE CHANGES. The LaserHIT App can recreate distances from 1 yard to 1 mile, depending on your firearm, optic, accessories, target, and available indoor distance. The principle is geometry: a proportionally scaled target recreates the angular dimensions of a full-size target at another distance. A 25-yard practice does not require 25 yards of room. A 500-yard target does not require a 500-yard range. With the appropriate setup, even 1 mile can be recreated indoors. YOUR POSITION COMES FIRST. Prone. Sitting. Kneeling. Supported. Standing. Four Positional Targets™ are matched to different rifle heights. Establish your position first, then place the appropriate target at your natural line of aim instead of changing your body to fit a fixed indoor target. No wind. No bullet drop. Work with your rifle, scope, position, support, sight picture, and trigger. BRING YOUR BALLISTIC DATA INSIDE. Import custom ballistic data from supported sources, including Hornady® and GeoBallistics®, or connect a compatible Kestrel® 5700 Series device. Select your ballistic profile in Kestrel and connect it to the LaserHIT App. During the Stage, LaserHIT generates a random crosswind up to 10 mph. Kestrel updates the DOPE for the current wind, providing the firing solution to dial or hold. CONFIRM THE RANGE. THEN FIRE. A selected distance does not always mean your recreated setup is exactly at that distance. Before ballistic practice begins, LaserHIT verifies the recreated distance actually present. For example, if your 500-yard setup verifies at 487 yards, ballistic calculations use 487 yards. Drop and time of flight are calculated for the confirmed range, because every yard can matter to the firing solution. YOUR SPOTTER. ON YOUR WRIST. With supported Drills, Apple Watch displays wind direction and speed, hit location, score, and available Stage information while your iPhone or iPad remains at the target. YOUR PRACTICE STAYS YOURS. Core practice works offline. No LaserHIT account is required. Firearm profiles, ballistic data, and practice records stay locally on your device. Some Drills and advanced features require LaserHIT Pro Access or specific LaserHIT equipment.
