I am the co-creator of Impact Scoring, a new scoring app tailored specifically for PRS, NRL, and precision rifle competitions. We recently launched the first public version and successfully used it at the PRS Pro Series Sharpshooter Showdown over the weekend. Our goal is for this app to become the standard in our sport, whether you're participating in a Pro Series match or simply scoring a friendly competition in your backyard or local range.

Version 1.1, our base app, is now available, and we have an exciting array of features planned for the coming weeks, months, and year. Users can register for matches directly through our app, or they can continue to use their Practiscore registrations and upload via .CSV. There's no need to synchronize between computers, tablets, and phones; All our devices automatically talk to eachother: IE you build your match out on the website (you can do it from a tablet still) it will auto upload to your tablet or phone. You can run a match entirely from a cell phone, making it accessible for smaller clubs. However, if you prefer, the app is also available for tablets on Amazon, iOS, and Google Play stores.

Scoring is live, provided you have LAN, Wi-Fi, or cell service. If connectivity is lost, the app will keep scoring live between devices, and once service is restored, it will automatically upload. Creating matches is now much easier, and we have some exciting new features in the pipeline. Match flow is simplified for the ROs, with clear target orders and "move" lines indicating when a shooter needs to transition between shots for better sequencing.

This weekend alone, our app attracted 27,000 viewers for live scoring during matches, and we believe it offers the alternative many of us have been seeking for years. If you have any questions or suggestions for features, please feel free to share them here. We have ambitious plans for Impact Scoring, and we envision it as the solution that competitive precision rifle shooting has been waiting for!

I sent this out to our MDs today but it has some great info for everyone in it:

First, thank you all for registering and supporting Impact Scoring over the past few months. We know that change is never easy, even when it’s necessary, and we truly appreciate your trust in us as we continue to refine and improve our platform.
I wanted to provide you with an update on Impact Scoring and highlight some exciting features and enhancements coming in the weeks and months ahead.
Current Features and Updates
  1. Registration with Payment, Self-Squadding, and Bulk Emails
  • These features are fully operational, enabling you to manage your match seamlessly through our registration system.
  • While transitioning, you can continue using PractiScore for registration and easily upload a CSV file into Impact.
  1. Live Scoring
  • Our online and live scoring feature works flawlessly, and shooters love seeing live updates throughout the match.
  • We’re also seeing increased engagement from spectators, bringing more visibility to our sport.
  1. Offline Scoring
  • While fully functional, we’ve identified areas for improvement
  • We’re redesigning offline scoring to enhance match setup and usability. The updated version, rolling out by mid-January, will be even more user-friendly and intuitive.
  • In the meantime, if you plan to run offline scoring, please reach out to me or Bill for guidance.
Match Calendars
One of our primary goals is to make it easier for new shooters to find matches locally and across the U.S.
  • Our search function is simple and efficient, and we encourage you to upload your 2025 match calendars to the app/website.
  • By doing this, we can:
  • Build a more comprehensive shooting season.
  • Promote your matches through weekly posts and club highlights.
  • Drive more shooters to your events.
Shooters can also click on your club link to view all your upcoming matches, making it even easier to find and register for events.
Coming Soon
  1. Digital Match Books
  • Using the data you input during stage setup, we’ll auto-generate a match book and stage briefs for shooters.
  • A PDF version will also be available for printing.
  1. Shooter Analytics
  • Post-match, both MDs and shooters will receive a detailed analytics package, including performance insights, areas for improvement, and more.
  1. Integrated Ballistics
  • We’re in discussions with ballistic apps to integrate real-time ballistics into digital match books based on current range conditions. We aim to have a version ready by 2025.
  1. Augmented Reality
  • To streamline match flow, we’re developing a feature that uses augmented reality to help shooters locate targets on a stage.
  • Shooters can use their phones to view target locations based on pins dropped by the MD, reducing setup time and confusion.
National and Large Matches
If you’re hosting a national-level or high-attendance match and would like assistance, Bill and I are happy to help and come out!
  • We can assist with setup, provide communications gear, or simply make your job easier.
  • Let us know as we’re currently scheduling for the 2025 season.
Thank you again for your incredible support, and we wish you a wonderful holiday season. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance.
