First, these are Python scripts, not programs. Second, they are worth what you're paying for them. I'm not a programmer, so they are currently pretty easy to break. You need a newer version of Python, as well as a few libraries like openCV and tkinter. That stuff is mentioned in the scripts, but if you use an IDE like IDLE it'll throw errors that tell you what you're missing.
Why did I do this? Because I wanted some specific data that you usually only get from something like a ShotMarker system. Specifically, I can fairly quickly get lots of precise X,Y positional information into Excel with these. Also, because most of the free programs that do this only have phone apps, and I wanted something on a desktop.
But that said, I built two different versions. One is a manual program with features similar to what you'd find with Range Buddy on Android. The only thing I think I have left that I'm planning on adding is some features to remove previously marked shots or groups. You can have multiple groups, but right now editing after you assign stuff isn't built. Maybe someday. It's currently just simple basic functionality.
The second version is an automatic analysis script that uses a specific target I designed. It identifies all the target points and shot holes for you, with the ability to remap things at the end. It's real purpose is to gather up to 30 shots for statistical analysis, and the target was made with a very precise rifle in mind. It's got a very fine grid, so you could actually do a fair job of calculating X,Y coordinates by hand.
Both scripts then output all their data into CSV files which you can do further analysis on. This includes XY coordinates and deltas from intended aim point, so you can go ham with CEP or DRMS or whatever.
Anyway, they are free, and you can edit them if you want to change colors or add functionality or whatever. I did enhance some of the visibility after I recorded this video, since I realized some stuff was hard to see on smaller monitors. LMK if you have any questions.
