ZerothShot

Inertial dry-fire trainer

HOLDSHOTTen-metre scoring,
three metres away.

An inertial sensor on your barrel measures the exact angle and direction the bore is pointing. The app renders a professional aim trace, applies ISSF decimal scoring, and tells a dry fire apart from a live round — at whatever distance you happen to have.

Distance independence

Train anywhere, and the score still means something

Camera-based trainers measure a position on a target face, so they need a scaled print, an exact distance and controlled lighting. HOLDSHOT measures the angle the bore is pointing. A target face twice as far away is twice as large in the same angular field — so the 10 m-equivalent decimal score comes out identical either way.

One bore deviation. Two distances. The same 10.4.

  • No printed scaled targets
  • No region-of-interest configuration
  • No visual marker detection
  • No fixed distance, no lighting rig
  • Train against a blank wall or a custom target at any distance. Scores stay directly comparable across every session you shoot.

Professional aim trace

The feedback loop Olympic shooters already use

Standard ISSF decimal scoring and PointMm conventions, rendered as a high-fidelity trace — the same visual loop used to diagnose errors and build stability at the top of the sport.

Pre-shot hold
The full settling pattern in the seconds before release, drawn against the target face rather than summarised into a single wobble number.
Trigger break
Where in that pattern the shot actually left — the difference between a disciplined release and a snatched one, made visible.
Follow-through
Muzzle behaviour after the break, so recovery is something you watch rather than something you infer from the score.

The two problems that break other trainers

Shot detection and sensor drift are where inertial training usually falls over. Neither is solved by picking a better constant.

Adaptive classification

It learns your firearm, not an average one

A spring-piston rifle's dry impulse can be larger than a match PCP's live one, so telling the two apart is not a one-size-fits-all threshold. A six-shot enrolment teaches HOLDSHOT the acoustic and inertial signature of your specific firearm, and the classifier keeps refining that boundary in-session.

Drift management

Honest about the origin, rather than quietly moving it

Aggressive auto-recentring hides drift — and erases the slow aim wander that is genuine coaching data along with it. HOLDSHOT waits until the gun is truly at rest to apply a zero-rate update, shows how far the current origin can be trusted, and leaves re-centring as a deliberate one-tap action.

92%

Drift confidence, visible for the whole session — not a number you have to take on trust.

Where it earns its place

Home dry-fire practice

Trigger control, stance and hold stability in whatever space you have. Distance is irrelevant, so a three-metre hallway is as useful as a 10 m range.

Coaching and analysis

The raw, unfiltered aim trace shows shooter error, weapon cant and trigger snatch that are invisible to the naked eye at the firing point.

Cross-weapon training

Move between air rifle, air pistol and live firearms. The adaptive classifier re-learns whatever you are shooting rather than being re-tuned by hand.

One app, three platforms

Review a session on the large screen of a Mac, or take an iPhone or Android device straight to the firing line. Same app, same session record.

HOLDSHOT

Inertial dry-fire trainer. It measures the angle your bore is pointing rather than the distance to a target, so 10 m-equivalent decimal scoring holds up in a three-metre hallway.
