Description
Shotbud is a full shot timer that uses the sensors in your watch to detect and isolate your shots.
What makes Shotbud work?
• We combine audio and motion data to remove false‑positives, so Shotbud works even around other shooters!
• Run different drills by setting a par time.
• See your results and split times.
• Quickly adjust between modes using our built-in presets, including Live Fire, Dry Fire, CO2 Dry Fire, and Airsoft.
• Optionally adjust microphone, echo, and motion sensitivity.
Shotbud is free for a limited time. We will be adding more features. During this time we would especially appreciate any feedback from users.
Software Requirements:
• Shotbud is made for devices running iOS 13+ and watchOS 6+.
• Shotbud uses your watch's microphone to detect the audio of your shots.
• Shotbud integrates with the Health app on your watch to detect your heart rate and to run on older devices while the screen is off.
What’s New
Version 1.3
Shotbud now uses your watch’s microphone to detect and process audio – you are no longer required to have your phone with you!
Also in this version:
• Enhanced shot detection across all presets: Live Fire, Dry Fire, CO2 Dry Fire, and Airsoft
• Fixed a bug where the par time buzzer would sometimes be detected as a shot
• Improved split time detection to 0.14 seconds (from 0.22s)
• Fixed various other bugs
Ratings and Reviews
Dry fire mode worked great until 1.2 update, please fix!!
I am only writing this as a means to contact the developers as I could not find an email address anywhere.. So even with the mic sensitivity all the way up it only picks up about 50% of my shots.. Before when the app was using the iPhone mic for sound I only had to have the mic sensitivity about halfway up and it would pick up 100% of my shots. Haven’t got the chance to try the app with live fire but I am disappointed that it worked so good for dry fire and now it hardly works at all. Hopefully this gets fixed this app has so much potential! (I am running this app on a series 3 42mm Apple Watch. And no nothing Is covering my mic..)
Works great for dry fire
This works great for dry fire practice. I haven’t spent much time with it in live fire so I can’t say how it performs on that level.
My only concern is that, when I start the delayed timer, if the watch face goes dark the audible beep and physical buzz are slightly delayed to when the timer starts counting. My times when the watch face goes dark vs when it’s on are longer by about 0.25 seconds. I’m not sure if there is a way to force the watch face to stay on in that moment (I’m running a series 3 fully updated for reference), but if there is a way to keep me from having to keep my hand raised while I wait for the beep it would greatly improve my experience.
Awesome tool but just one thing I’ve noticed…
So when initially opening the app on my watch it works great but once I back out and do something else then come back to the app…it seems to have issues detecting shots. This all is fixed if I close out the app and restart it. Other than that this works great!
