LaserHIT5.5.6 - App Store

BRING YOUR RANGE PRACTICE HOME.
Use your own handgun or rifle for laser-based dry firing. Work with the sights, scope, ballistic data, and shooting setup you already know.
LaserHIT turns your available indoor space into a dry-fire range with realistic sounds and a customizable Virtual Spotter. See or hear results specific to the Drill you choose.

YOUR SHOT. IN REAL NUMBERS.
See where every hit lands immediately in inches, centimeters, MOA, or MIL. Measure groups in inches, centimeters, TMOA, SMOA, MIL, or MRAD.
Match the units to your optic and the way you already work at the range. Split and elapsed time are measured to 0.1 second.

KNOW HOW SHARP YOU CAN BE.
Want to see a 0.052-inch difference on your target at 100 yards? Want to know you can place three shots at 5 yards in under one second?
And not just once. Do it consistently. Repeat it. Know what you and your firearm can deliver.

SCORE BY THE RULES YOU PRACTICE.
In competition, a hit is not simply a hit. Where it lands, decimal values, X-counts, penalties, and time can determine the result.
LaserHIT applies the scoring method appropriate to the selected Drill at the moment of impact.
Results can include decimal or whole-number scoring, X-counts, Zone scores, Hit Factor, Final Time with penalties, and other competition-specific results.
Prefer placement instead of score? See or hear each hit as a correction or location.
With multiple targets and recreated distances, each result stays connected to the target and distance actually hit.

THE ROOM STAYS. DISTANCE CHANGES.
The LaserHIT App can recreate distances from 1 yard to 1 mile, depending on your firearm, optic, accessories, target, and available indoor distance.
The principle is geometry: a proportionally scaled target recreates the angular dimensions of a full-size target at another distance.
A 25-yard practice does not require 25 yards of room. A 500-yard target does not require a 500-yard range. With the appropriate setup, even 1 mile can be recreated indoors.

YOUR POSITION COMES FIRST.
Prone. Sitting. Kneeling. Supported. Standing.
Four Positional Targets(TM) are matched to different rifle heights. Establish your position first, then place the appropriate target at your natural line of aim instead of changing your body to fit a fixed indoor target.
No wind. No bullet drop. Work with your rifle, scope, position, support, sight picture, and trigger.

BRING YOUR BALLISTIC DATA INSIDE.
Import custom ballistic data from supported sources, including Hornady(R) and GeoBallistics(R), or connect a compatible Kestrel(R) 5700 Series device.
Select your ballistic profile in Kestrel and connect it to the LaserHIT App. During the Stage, LaserHIT generates a random crosswind up to 10 mph. Kestrel updates the DOPE for the current wind, providing the firing solution to dial or hold.

CONFIRM THE RANGE. THEN FIRE.
A selected distance does not always mean your recreated setup is exactly at that distance.
Before ballistic practice begins, LaserHIT verifies the recreated distance actually present. For example, if your 500-yard setup verifies at 487 yards, ballistic calculations use 487 yards.
Drop and time of flight are calculated for the confirmed range, because every yard can matter to the firing solution.

YOUR SPOTTER. ON YOUR WRIST.
With supported Drills, Apple Watch displays wind direction and speed, hit location, score, and available Stage information while your iPhone or iPad remains at the target.

YOUR PRACTICE STAYS YOURS.
Core practice works offline. No LaserHIT account is required. Firearm profiles, ballistic data, and practice records stay locally on your device.
Some Drills and advanced features require LaserHIT Pro Access or specific LaserHIT equipment.

All drills work with any laser cartridges and laser trainers. 5.5 Jan 26 Three new handgun DRILLS are introduced: B3 Torture, B3 Torture Zones, and B3 Torture Pro.
The B3 Torture drill family is built around a single standardized target, the LaserHIT B3 x15 target at a 1:10 scale. This fixed geometry enables consistent distance simulation, reliable zone scoring, and meaningful performance comparison across sessions.
- B3 Torture focuses on pure execution. Fifteen targets, fifteen shots, hit or miss only. No make-up shots and no scoring nuance, designed to isolate fundamentals and consistency.
- B3 Torture Zones adds zone-based scoring to the same layout, measuring hit placement and control across A, B, C, and D zones under a controlled time limit.
- B3 Torture Pro introduces time pressure and Hit Factor scoring, combining accuracy and efficiency into a single performance metric. This drill is available with Pro access.
Together, these drills form a progressive diagnostic system for handgun fundamentals, from execution, to precision, to efficiency under pressure. 5.4 Jan 15 More free practical drills:

- a new intuitive feature to improve the precise accuracy in close range;
- easy to re-calibrate or disable from all active app's screens;
- offset status icon and Show option will visually and audibly support the confirmation of the last Laser Zeroing setup;
- once set up, the offset value will be stored internally and applied to all practices until the next manual re-calibration;
- all hits on the phone screen will be aligned precisely with the line of sight and maintained over the shooting distance.

Why do you need laser zeroing?
The point-of-impact (or laser hits) will always be lower than the point-of-aim in closer range due to the gun's sights rising over the muzzle. To compensate the difference and to hit an intended target, you should aim higher. It could be a challenge while using the scaled targets and high-raised sights such as a red dot, scope, etc. Therefore, laser zeroing will solve this problem.

Why do you need laser offsetting?
Some laser cartridges may lose alignment over time or have some manufactured inaccurate alignment. The laser offsetting feature will help you calibrate the cartridge for your particular firearm at the given distance.

MORE NEW DETAILS:
Introduction of the interactive audible and visual setup guide to improve first-time user experience;
No more "Wait for Calibration" screen as all adjustments and calibrations move to the app's background;
Improvement in the App stability and performance to support all range of iPhones and iPads (starting from iPhone 6s);
