Product summary

Recoil Shot Timer is a modern training tool built to improve shooting accuracy and timing. Instead of relying on sound, it senses recoil and uses machine learning to identify individual shots, delivering reliable timing even in noisy or reverberant ranges. Use your Apple Watch to monitor sessions live, then review detailed results on your phone after training.

Measurement approach

  • Detects recoil impulses and applies AI algorithms to separate true shots from ambient noise and mechanical disturbances.
  • Works reliably in environments where acoustic-only timers struggle, offering consistent detection for both pistols and rifles.
  • Records exact timestamps for every trigger event so you can review cadence, split times, and draw-to-fire intervals.

Major capabilities

  • Post-session analytics that show rounds fired, quickest draw or split times, and summary performance metrics.
  • Live integration with Apple Watch for hands-free session control and on-the-go feedback.
  • Mode support tailored to centerfire pistols and rifles, with presets tuned to typical recoil signatures.

Validation and development

  • Created in partnership with the Office of Naval Research and validated against thousands of live-fire events from military and civilian shooters.
  • Calibrated for real-world training scenarios to minimize false positives and deliver repeatable measurements.
  • Ideal for users who want higher fidelity timing than acoustic systems can provide.

Platform support and pricing

  • Designed for iPhone with companion Apple Watch features for in-field convenience.
  • Optimized for centerfire firearms but useful across a broad range of pistols and rifles.
  • If you’d like a no-cost alternative, consider the free app “Eredivisie.”

Quick comparison (at a glance)

  • Accurate recoil-based detection vs. traditional sound-based timers.
  • Comprehensive session breakdowns vs. simple single-shot logs.
  • Military-validated measurement vs. consumer-only testing.
