Frequently asked questions

What is Shot Session?

Shot Session is a shot timer and training log for competitive shooters (IPSC, USPSA). The iPhone gives a random delay and a beep, and the microphone times every shot. It works for dry fire and live fire, and keeps your splits and your progress over time.

How does shot detection work?

When you start a run, the app plays the beep and listens through the microphone. Each loud sound is recorded with its time from the beep. You can adjust the sensitivity in Settings.

Shots are not being detected. What should I check?

Sensitivity. Live Fire only counts very loud sounds. Dry Fire is more sensitive. If dry fire clicks are missed, open Settings, find Detection Sensitivity and drag the slider toward "Catches quiet shots".
Ambient noise. Constant background noise can mask dry fire clicks, so a quiet room helps. At a live range, shots from nearby lanes can be picked up too, and a higher Echo Filter value (Settings, Audio) helps count them as one.
Echo filter. Shots closer together than the Echo Filter time are counted as one. The default is 200 ms. If your fast splits are being merged, lower the value in Settings, under Audio.
Microphone. Allow the microphone in iOS Settings, under Shot Session. Cases or covers over the bottom mic muffle detection. Keep the phone within a few meters, with the mic pointing at the shooter.
Beep volume. On some devices the start beep can bounce off a nearby wall and be picked up as a shot. Avoid pointing the speaker at hard surfaces, or lower the beep volume in Settings.

What are the drill types?

Single Shot stops after the first shot. Multi Shot records shots until you stop the run. Par Time records shots for a fixed time, with a second beep at the end.

Does it work with Apple Watch?

Yes. With Shot Session Pro you can start the timer on your wrist, see your time and start the next run without touching the iPhone.

Do I need an account?

No. You can use the app without an account, and your training stays on your iPhone. Signing in with email, Apple or Google syncs your sessions across your devices.

Is my data saved offline?

Yes. Everything is saved on your device first and syncs automatically when you have a connection.

How do I share my results?

After a session, tap Share Results to create an image card with your stats and send it to other apps.

How do points and invites work?

You earn points for every shot you train and for each friend who subscribes with your invite. Subscribers can use their points for half price on the next renewal of an App Store subscription. Your balance and your invite link are in the Points tab.

How do I manage or cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are handled by Apple. Open the iPhone Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose Shot Session. In the app, open Profile, tap your plan under Subscription, then Manage subscription.

I subscribed but I don't see Pro. How do I restore it?

Open Profile and tap Restore Purchases, using the same Apple ID you used to subscribe.

How do I delete my account?

Open Profile and tap Delete Account. This permanently deletes your account and all its data.
