With the Blinker Shot Locator feature, it’s quick and easy to find your your newest bullet hole. Simply touch the shot locator icon and your most recent bullet hole will start blinking, making it a breeze to find.
For the feature to work correctly, you must tap the shot locator button after each shot you take. This is because the feature takes a snapshot of your target each time you tap the button and then alternates between the last two images of your target to blink your last shot. If you don’t tap the button after each shot then you will likely begin to see multiple holes flashing, because the software is just comparing the most recent snapshot to a snapshot of the target the last time you pushed the button.

The Gallery can be found within the main menu of the app. The Gallery organizes images and videos under separate tabs and you can store images and videos in an album if you prefer. If you took pictures or recorded video after creating a new session, those images and video can be found in an album with the session name that you created.

The Group Sizing feature actively calculates your group size with each new shot marker that you place. For the feature to work correctly, you must know the distance between two set points on your target and input that information into the app when you turn Group Sizing mode on. It is recommended that you use two corners of your target as reference points for this measurement and input. After inputting a reference distance, the app will begin to calculate the distance between your two furthest shots from each group.

Taking a snapshot in the LONGSHOT app is simple; while in the shooting mode, tap the orange icon at the center right of the screen. All snapshots will be stored within the app’s gallery. To move the image to the gallery on your device, you must go into the gallery and export the image from the sharing menu.

The LONGSHOT app is a free app that is only available for iOS and Android devices. To download the app, please navigate to your device’s app store (the App Store for iOS and the Play Store for Android), search for LONGSHOT (all one word), and choose install. Once the app has been installed, you will need to connect to your camera’s WiFi network to see the video feed. The LONGSHOT, or LONGSHOTHD app replaced the legacy TARGETVISION app.

The LONGSHOT App allows you to see and interact with your target like never before. The app has a clean and simple user interface that maximizes the utility of your device’s screen by showing the camera feed across the entire screen and keeping buttons unobtrusive yet accessible with our most popular features only a tap away. More advanced features are stored within the options menu while settings, support, and media files can be found within the main menu.

Due to the nature of the iOS and Android operating systems, our software must be developed independently to work properly on each platform, essentially doubling our software development time and cost. Currently, we must implement significant user interface and/or feature updates on one platform at a time. We have strived for uniformity between the two operating systems.
Please keep in mind that software development is a very costly and time consuming process. We appreciate your patience and feedback as we continue to improve.

The Marker size option allows you to roughly match the size of the shot marker to the size of your bullet hole. Once you select a marker size, that selection is saved as the default marker size until you change it again.

Mark Group**:** The mark group feature is intended to help you mark prior strings of shots to track your groups or to keep track of different shooters. In the camera view, tap the icon on the bottom right of the screen. A pop up will display size and color. Choose the desired size and color of your markings. Future changes to your selection will only apply to the markings after you have made your selection. The previous markings will not change.

The Longshot app can now support more than 4 cameras! To find and view all of your connected cameras, navigate to the camera menu and choose refresh and then select the camera you’d like to view. If you are interested in purchasing more cameras to expand your system, please contact us.

Sessions are used to store pictures, video, and data about a particular shooting session together in an album. After starting a new session, all snapshots and recordings made will be stored together in an album within the gallery. After ending a session, new snapshots and recordings will no longer be associated with an album and will be stored in their respective locations within the gallery.

The shooter view uses the rear facing camera that is built into your smart device to display a view of the shooter on top of the camera feed. This feature is especially useful to review your shooting fundamentals. When using this feature, make sure to position the tablet in a way that captures the view of the shooter that you want. This feature also makes for a more personal and entertaining sharing experience.

Shot Marking is one of the core features of the LONGSHOT app. It allows you to keep track of your shots by simply tapping on them as they appear. As you tap, the app will place a semi-transparent marker over the image and will auto number the markers as well. You can adjust the marker size and color via the options menu as well as mark groups of shots different colors. Shot markers cannot be moved once they have been placed but you can undo shot markers with the undo button or remove all markers by holding the undo button.

Taking a video in the LONGSHOT app is similar to capturing and image. While in the shooting mode, hold the orange icon at the center right of the screen until a new window pops up and select start now. All videos will be stored within the app’s gallery. To move the video to the gallery on your device, you must go into the gallery and export the image from the sharing menu.

Zero Adjustment is a feature within Group Sizing. It helps you to zero your optic quickly by calculating the correction needed to move your point of impact to your point of aim. After initiating Group Sizing, you can toggle the zero adjustments on and off from the top navigation bar. When on, the app calculates the center of your group and then calculates the vertical and horizontal corrections needed to move the center of your group to your point of aim.
