Looking for shooters to stress-test a target analysis app this weekend

Built an iPhone app called Shooting Coach - photograph your paper target, get a score and a breakdown of what the shot pattern indicates (grip, trigger press, anticipation, etc.).

I've tested it on my own targets but I'm one shooter with one set of problems. Competition shooters with more developed patterns and more consistent groups would give me much better signal on whether the analysis holds up.

If you're shooting this weekend and willing to run a target through it, I'd genuinely value the feedback - what it gets right, what it misses, what's missing entirely. First analysis is free.

Drop a comment or DM and I'll share the link.

Built an app that analyzes target photos and tells you why you're missing - looking for people to try it this weekend

New shooter here. I kept shooting low-left and couldn't figure out if it was grip, trigger, or anticipation. Couldn't always get to a coach, so I built Shooting Coach - an iPhone app that lets you take a photo of your paper target and get a score and a diagnosis of what's causing the pattern.

Ran my own groups through it. It flagged trigger anticipation. Experienced shooters in another thread looked at the same target and said the same thing independently, so the diagnosis seems to hold up.

If you're heading to the range this weekend, I'd love 5-10 people to try it and tell me honestly if the feedback matches what you already know about your shooting - or where it misses. First analysis is free, no account needed.

Happy to share a link in the comments or DM if interested.

First gun ever — Walther PDP NT Pro. I also built a target analysis app and used my own groups as the first test.

New shooter here. The PDP NT Pro is the first firearm I've ever owned — trigger is incredible, ergonomics are perfect for my hands.

I've also been building an app called Shooting Coach that photographs paper targets and tells you what you're doing wrong. Figured I should run my own groups through it before releasing it to anyone else.

Result: 72/100, rated "Developing." The app diagnosed trigger anticipation — hard to argue with when it's right there in the numbers.

Happy to talk about the gun, the app, or new shooter struggles. I'm the dev.

Shot this group recently and I genuinely don't know which problem to fix first - trigger or grip?

Right-handed shooter, Walther PDP 9mm, 10 yards. I can see the low-left pattern but I've been drilling both trigger press AND grip and I can't tell which one is the culprit - or if it's both.

The few shots that made it to the 9-10 ring tell me the sight picture is fine at least. But everything else is drifting the same direction consistently.

Anyone else had this where you know the direction but can't isolate the cause?
