Features & Capabilities

Range Buddy is the all-in-one firearms training app for shooters who want better shooting drills, on-video shot scoring, video coaching, a smarter training tracker, and real competition. Connect a shot timer, record and score your shooting on video, break a run down frame by frame, build training regimens, follow training standards, and compete in head-to-head duels or group challenges. Browse a comprehensive drill library sorted by target type, category, and skill focus so you can train with purpose and measure progress over time.

Record, Score, and Share Your Shooting Hit record and Range Buddy captures your run on video, then overlays your shot times, splits, and scored hits onto the clip—save to your camera roll and share in seconds. Score against 12 targets including B-8, IPSC, USPSA, IDPA, steel, the FBI QIT and Rangemaster Q quals, and Dot Torture—or free-shoot with no target at all.

Film Studio—Review, Sync, and Compare Turn range footage into training video. Review a single run, sync multiple camera angles, or compare up to four runs side by side with frame-by-frame stepping. Waveform editing lines up the beep and every shot, captions generate automatically, and exports come out landscape, square, or vertical.

Breakdown—Coach the Video Markup and annotate on the video. Drop callouts on exact frames, tag steps of the draw, and set slow-motion sections. Record a voiceover/picture-in-picture, then export a Coach's Cut—the clean run first, then your analysis with markups, slow motion, and narration baked in.

Performance Lab—Analyze Your Draw Record or upload a draw and every rep is measured, graded, and replayed with a skeleton overlay. You get one specific thing to fix, plus phase trends over time.

Shot Timer—Bluetooth or Your Phone Pair a Bluetooth shot timer—AMG Commander, Special Pie, RangeTech, or Shooters Global—to pull live shot data into your drills and videos. No timer? Range Buddy detects your shots from your phone's mic for live fire or dry fire, with adjustable sensitivity for quiet trigger presses and your shots on screen in real time.

Train From Your Wrist Pair an Apple Watch or Wear OS smartwatch to start drills, advance steps, and see shots hands-free.

UPDATE. I would like to update my review. Apparently the developers took note of the issues and found a problem which they have acknowledged and updated. Update 5.2.5 appears to solve the problem with being unable to access drills and other content without a paid subscription. I have checked and can personally access these things now. I will give credit where credit is due. The developers apparently take this app seriously and want to make sure it offers what they promise. I would say at this time the free app is definitely worth it, however, I have not tested any of the subscription based services. To the developers, I’d like to say thank you for listening, and proving that your customer base matters! ———————————Despite their claims, you have to pay a $2.99 monthly subscription to have access to any drills (except for 4 ASP drills and a monthly drill). Multiple sections always say “coming soon”, and I can find no “groups” despite multiple searches. Really the only free content is the ability to search for some instructors contact info, but nothing else. I suppose It may be a nice app if you buy into yet another subscription plan. But not enough free content to even make a good judgement call on that. Plenty of free drills can be found elsewhere, so I’ll be moving on from this app.

It’s a great library but the logging functions could use some work. Some drills don’t include penalties when ranking on the leader board. Others don’t seem to have “submit” buttons. And I submitted one community drill that I’d like to edit, but it seems to be out of my hands.
