About this app

This is the world's only auto-setup mobile device based laser training App. (Winner of "The 18 Best Pieces of New Gear at SHOT Show 2017" by ‘Combat Handguns’, May/June 2017 Issue.) Our cutting-edge technology (patent-pending) delivers instrument-level performance without user adjusting any parameters. The App works with almost any third-party paper targets without specialized hardware. (*A full-feature Android 6.0 or above smart phone is required - check full support list at www.g-sight.com .) Simply, set up virtually any target, press the Train button in the App and begin training. Additional to real-time hit location marking and auditory feedback for each shot, user can review each hit or miss shot afterwards and then continue training. Combined with the G-Sight Laser Training Gen 2 Cartridge, the Laser Training Pro App allows anyone to practice perfecting the fundamentals of firearm training, shooting, drawing, and marksmanship in a convenient, economical and safe manner. Paid feature Shot Timer also times each shot and calculates Split Time.

Best Practices:

The app is designed for a wide variety of conditions and targets. For best results:

- Phone should be placed within a yard of the target and aligned as straightly as possible without obstructing the laser beam.

- If you are practicing with a setup the first time, we suggest you run a “Test Setup” before starting. It will let you know if there’s any potential issues with your setup.

- Avoid bright light, especially sunlight on or near the target. If you see large patches of light reflecting off the target in the camera view, they may impact the detection performance.

- Avoid back-lighting area.

- Avoid using damaged targets, sharp creases on the target, or on the edges of the target may impact the detection performance as well.

- Avoid using targets with a glossy surface or placing any shiny/highly reflective objects, such as tape in the camera’s view.

- Avoid areas where obvious lighting changes or shadows may exist.

- Avoid shaking the phone/target while in a session.

- Under bright light conditions, some deep dark targets with sharp white lines may interfere with detection. If the App misses detecting shots, try to decrease the lighting or move the phone back about a foot. Detection will not be affected negatively even when the target may look smaller in the camera view.

- If the app does not respond for more than 30 seconds, there may be a lighting problem. Close the App from the Android menu and run the “Test Setup” after restarting the App.

Ratings and reviews

I did a lot of research before buying this. I understood going in that there could be some odd situations where the lighting and laser wouldn't communicate so with that in mind I have only had a handful of no detects compared to the several hundred I have shot so far. I have only had the unit for a few days but so far I am already seeing my weaknesses and bad habits. I see this as a training device and the feedback I see helps me become a better shooter even if there is a misfire occasionally. I am about to grab the timer part of this app since I want to begin competition shooting in the spring. I likely will pass of the unlimited part of the app since the 10 shot is right up my alley, I typically shoot 10 shot groups at the range and this works for me. I am giving the combo a 4 star for now but will likely up the stars once I get many more shots into it. Overall the laser is well made, solid and if you follow their guidelines and do as instructed this can last quite some time. I have 3 pistols that the laser works great in and one PCC that I want to test. Nice job fellas

Edit, always read the directions thoroughly, turns out my target and the background were both shiny and reflecting light back to my phone causing false reads, definitely works better with a non reflective background. I was surprised that after buying the G-sight gen 2 training cartridge, I wound up with the same limited app as anyone else, would have figured since I actually paid for their cartridge, the full app would have been included.

The Future Is Here - Best Laser Training App i have used so far. It was OK for me in the past but the Grouping function they just released (in 5.0.8) blew my mind. This is what a modern Dry Fire training system/App should do: easy to use and delivers what was not possible before. There is just one thing to mention: make sure your are using the G-Sight Laser cartridge. The cheap brand cartridges I bought somehow don't work as well with this App. If you are new to the App, spend the $5.00 to get the Grouping function and enjoy the modern Dry Fire training! App does work on my Tab A without any problem, but the graphics works so much better on my S10. Sadly, if your phone is too old, it may not qualify for the Grouping function - App will not allow you to buy it if it doesn't.
