Range Report Pro — Shooting Log and Analytics App

Last Updated: October 27, 2026

Welcome to Range Report Pro. This manual walks through every screen of the App, organized the same way the App is: by the five tabs at the bottom of the screen, followed by the Profile & Settings screen, the Apple Watch companion app, and iPad support.

Range Report Pro turns a photo of your target into a score, a shot count and a group measurement; runs timed drills with an audible shot timer (optionally on video); keeps track of your firearms, maintenance, ranges and drills; charts your progress over time; and lets you share results with other shooters in the Community forum. No account is required — your data stays on your device and is backed up to your own iCloud or Google account.

1. Getting Started

Navigating the App

The bar at the bottom of the screen has five tabs. Each tab remembers where you were, so you can switch tabs and come back without losing your place.

TabWhat it's for
HomeYour dashboard: last session, maintenance reminders, range notes and monthly stats.
HistoryEvery session you have saved, with full results.
New Session (center logo)Score a target with your camera, run a timed drill, or record a video drill.
ToolsYour Vault and Wishlist, Red Dot Zeroing, the Range Locator, your ranges, Trends, Ask Ranger and your drill library.
ReportsThe Community forum, where shooters post range reports, questions and drills.

The Profile & Settings screen opens from the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Home tab.

First Launch

The first time you open the App you may see two short prompts:

Many screens also show a short introduction the first time you open them. Tap Got it to dismiss it.

Free and Pro Features

Most of the App is free. Features marked PRO in this manual require a Range Report Pro subscription or lifetime unlock. Locked features appear dimmed with a Pro label; tapping one shows the upgrade screen. You can upgrade from the Get Pro button on the Home tab or from Profile & Settings → Subscription.

2. Home Tab

The Home tab is your at-a-glance dashboard. It greets you by time of day (and by your Community nickname, if you have one) and summarizes your recent shooting.

In the United States, when the Range Report shop is open, a Range Report Shop card appears above your last session. Tapping it opens the shop (targets, caps and t-shirts) in your browser.

Top Bar

Last Session

A card summarizing your most recent session: the target or drill name, the date and how many days ago it was, the range and firearm (if recorded), the score and the number of shots. An arrow tells you whether the session was better than, not as good as, or about the same as the one before it. Tap the card to open the full session. If you have no sessions yet, you'll see a prompt to tap New Session.

Maintenance Reminders

Shown once you have firearms in My Vault. It lists the firearms that most need attention, with a status such as Never cleaned, Fired since last cleaning (250 rounds) or 12 days since last cleaning, and a colored dot: green OK, orange Due soon, or red Overdue. Tap a firearm to open its details and mark it cleaned.

Range Notes

Sticky notes for anything you want to remember at the range: ammo to buy, a sight setting, a drill to try. Swipe the carousel to browse your notes.

The Session List

Each row shows the target (or drill) name, the date, the score, the firearm and the range. Small icons tell you more about a session:

The Session Result Screen

Opening a session shows its full result. It is also the screen you land on right after scoring a new target.

Session result
Session details and score
Measurement
Hole markers with Show measurement on

Target photo and markers

If something looked wrong during scoring, a warning appears above the photo, for example Camera moved — results may be off, Possible multiple hits — two shots may share a hole, Too many detections, or No new holes found. You can always correct the markers by hand.

Score and group

Session details

Add or change the firearm used (from My Vault), the target distance (yards or metres), and the range (from My Ranges, or Add new range…). Recording distance lets Trends compare like with like. On a saved session, tap Edit first to make changes, then Save.

Sessions with several strings

Tap Shoot more to add another string to the same session: shoot, take a new photo, and you're back on this screen with the new string selected. Sessions with several strings show String 1 of N with arrows to page between them.

Ask Ranger (shot analysis) PRO

Tap Ask Ranger for coaching based on where your shots landed. Ranger asks which hand you shoot with and whether you used a one-hand or two-hand hold, then analyzes your group pattern and suggests what to work on.

Suggested drill PRO

Every saved session shows a Suggested for you card with one Ranger drill picked from that session: a slow draw, slow splits or transitions, or the shape of your group. Tap it to open the drill plan for the session's firearm. Timer-only and video drills get a suggestion too. Manual photo sessions get shot analysis once the target is marked on the photo (see Manual Sessions).

Sharing

Tap the Share icon (top right) to open the share sheet:

Share sheet
Share options

Shared photos and videos carry a small Range Report watermark in the corner. Your stored photo is never changed.

Timed Drill Results

Sessions recorded with the shot timer show a shot-timer stats grid:

StatMeaning
Draw / Time to first shotFrom the start beep to your first shot (only when the start beep was heard).
Stage timeFrom the start beep to your last shot.
Avg splitAverage time between shots on the same target.
Avg transitionAverage time to move the gun to a different target.
Avg moveAverage time spent moving your feet to a new position.
Avg reloadAverage time for a magazine change.
Best splitYour fastest split.
Split consistencyHow even your rhythm was (lower is steadier).
Static / movingTime spent standing still versus moving.
Hit factorScore divided by time (IPSC/USPSA targets).
ParWhether you beat the par time (PASS) or not (OVER), and how many shots were late.
Heart rateAverage and peak heart rate, when the drill was run with an Apple Watch.

Shot by shot: each pill is the time between two shots with a letter for what happened in that gap — S split, T transition, M move, R reload. The App guesses the letter from the timing (a faint outline means it's still a guess). Tap a pill to cycle it S → T → M → R; the averages update immediately and your choice is saved. A red outline means that shot came after the par time. Tap What do these mean? for a quick explanation in the App.

Sessions with several strings show String 1 of N with arrows to page between them; each string can have its own firearm, and while editing you can delete one (see Sessions with several strings). Video Drill sessions have a Watch replay button that plays the clip with its overlay. From a just-finished drill, Save and repeat drill saves the result and sets up the same drill again.

Below the stats, a short coaching tip may point out your biggest opportunity, for example that your transitions are much slower than your splits, or that the draw is the largest part of the string.

4. New Session Tab

Tap the Range Report logo in the middle of the tab bar to start a new session. First choose what you're shooting at.

Custom Targets PRO

Score any target you shoot on:

  1. Enter a name and the backer width and height.
  2. Choose a scoring style: Ring (precision), Zone (IPSC-style), Points-down (IDPA-style) or Binary (hit or miss), and an optional miss penalty.
  3. Frame the whole target square-on and capture a photo.
  4. Calibrate: tap to set the center, then tap the edge of each scoring ring (or draw each zone) and enter its value. Mark the innermost ring as the X ring if your target uses one as a tiebreaker. Use Zoom in for precise placement for accuracy.
  5. Tap Save. Your target now appears under My Custom Targets.

How Do You Want to Score?

After picking a target you choose how to score it. At the top of this screen you can also link a firearm, the target distance and the range for the session.

Taking the Photo

  1. Hold the phone square-on to the target with the whole target in view. Use the zoom slider if needed. The framing guide is only a guide; the whole photo is used.
  2. Tap Capture Photo (or Capture Baseline then Capture Result for a used target).
  3. Review the photo: tap Use this or retake it.
  4. Mark the target: the App may ask you to tap a few reference points (for example the edges of the black circle, or the corners of the target) so it can line up the scoring. Drag a point to adjust it, then confirm.
  5. The result opens. Check the markers and save.
Tip: Even, bright lighting and a square-on photo give the most accurate results. Avoid harsh shadows across the target.

Shot Timer: Timer Only and Timed Drills

No Target (under Timer only) runs the shot timer with no photo, and is free for everyone. The same drill panel is used by Timed Drill and Video Drill.

Timer only
Par Time mode

Drill modes:

Tap the ? icon on the drill screen for a reminder of how each mode works. Tap Start Drill. The screen shows large color signals: amber STAND BY, green GO (with the elapsed time or live shot count), and red STOP. If your phone's volume is low, the App warns you first, because you may not hear the cues over the range.

Check what we heard: after each string the App shows the shots it detected (time to first shot and every split). Other lanes and echoes can fool the microphone, so add or remove shots and correct times here before saving. If the start beep wasn't heard, you get splits only, with no draw time.

Tip: Drill audio is analyzed on your phone and discarded. It is never stored or uploaded.

Video Drill PRO

Records your drill on video with a live shot-timer overlay.

  1. Set the phone where it can see you and the target, turn up the volume, and frame the shot with the zoom slider. Zoom is locked while recording. Use the camera button to switch between the back and front camera.
  2. Choose Par Time, Shot Count, Free Run or a saved drill, and tap Start Drill. Recording starts right away; after a random delay you hear the buzzer.
  3. Shot times appear over the video as they are heard, and the clip keeps rolling for a few seconds after the drill ends.
  4. Correct the shot count or times if needed, then save. Tap Retake to discard the clip.

From the result, tap Watch replay to play the clip with its overlay, or Share with overlay to export a copy with the overlay and watermark burned in. The video stays on your phone.

Manual Sessions

No target handy, or just an old photo? Log a session by hand from History → + → Manual Session.

Session Details
  1. Pick the target you shot at (custom targets are PRO).
  2. Session Details: date, firearm, distance and range, then tap Continue.
  3. Add a photo (take one, choose from your gallery, or Skip — no photo).
  4. Score it: with a photo, tap each hole to place a marker, choosing the zone or score for each marker first (pinch to zoom). Without a photo, enter the shots fired and total score.
  5. Mark the target (optional, photo only): drag the four numbered handles onto the target's corners, or on a B-8 onto the edges of the black circle. The App can then measure your group size and offer Ranger shot analysis. Your score doesn't change. Tap Skip if you don't need it.
  6. Save. Choose Add another to log the next one right away.

Manual sessions show a Manual label in History. Open one to edit its details or markers, or to add a photo later.

To mark the target on a session you have already saved, open it and tap Mark target above the photo, or tap Edit and then Mark target (or Adjust target marks to move them).

  1. Target type: Range Report Pro is recommended because the App knows its exact dimensions. Tap Print our free target to print it. Print at 100% / Actual Size and check that the scale bar measures exactly 100 mm.
  2. Link a firearm (optional) from your Vault.
  3. Click settings: choose MOA, MRAD or mm per click and enter the click value from your optic's manual (for example, 1 MOA per click).
  4. Distance to target in yards or metres.
  5. Tap Start. Capture the clean target as a baseline (or tap Target is clean — skip), shoot your group, then Capture Group.
  6. Review Hole Markers: add or delete markers so only this group's holes are marked, then tap Use These Markers.
  7. Round Result: the App shows the adjustment, for example 3 clicks up, 2 clicks right. Adjust your sight and tap Shoot again to verify, repeating until no adjustment is needed. Save the zero to your firearm when you're done.
Tip: Shoot at least 3 rounds per group for a reliable read. On later rounds, add markers only to the new holes.

App Version

The bottom row shows the App's version and build number. Tap it to switch to your App User Id (partially masked), which support may ask for when helping with a purchase.

8. Apple Watch

On a busy indoor line, a neighbor's shot can sound almost as loud to your phone as your own. The Range Report watch app feels each shot at your wrist, so it counts only your shots, even with other lanes firing.

If the watch can't connect, the phone falls back to its own microphone.

9. iPad

On iPad the same five sections appear in a side navigation rail, or as bottom tabs in Split View and Slide Over. Larger screens use two panes: History and Reports show the list on the left and the selected session or post on the right, and Home arranges its cards in a grid. Resizing the window never loses your place.
