The Bullseye Camera iPhone application. It’s got all the basics you need to monitor shots up to one mile downrange.
Back in September I wrote about a new product that’s a must have accessory for rifle shooters – The Bullseye Camera System.
The iPad version provides the same functionality, just on a larger screen.
I won’t review all the capabilities here as you can read about those in the original article. The short description is this:

Here’s what the Bullseye Camera System does, in a nutshell:
- Watches your target for every shot
- Tracks the exact location of each hit in the target area
- Beams that information back to your shooting bench location
- Displays a real-time view, on a laptop or netbook computer, of each shot taken
Well, life has gotten better. When I first got my hands on the system, it required a Windows-based computer, laptop or netbook to run the software. That was OK as I had a small netbook available to lug to the range. Now, Bullseye Camera has released both iPhone and iPad versions of the software. So you no longer need to bring a laptop to the range – your iPhone will work just fine by itself. If you want a larger screen, then bring an iPad.
You can find the iOS application free here. Of course, you need the Bullseye Camera hardware to use it.

Bullseye Camera is hard at work on Android and Mac OS versions of the software too. We’ll give you a heads up as soon as those are available.
Those eyes might not be criticizing you, but they’d be laughing uncontrollably at me!
Waiting for the Android as tablets are pretty cheap these days, my net book fits easily in the case with the other gear so it is an extremely portable way to train.
