PocketRange
Dry-fire only

Your home range. No ammo.

PocketRange is laser dry-fire training software for your Windows PC. Project it on a wall or TV, or use a monitor, fire your laser trainer at the screen, and a camera finds the dot and scores the shot.

24 range drills and games · 2-player split screen · webcam or Android phone as the sensor

How it works

Three steps to the firing line

Put the range on a screen

Run PocketRange on your Windows PC and show it on a projector, a TV or a monitor. Targets, steel and scenes are drawn live, so the range fills whatever screen you have.

Point a camera at it

A USB webcam, or an Android phone running the free PocketRange Sight app, watches the screen. Calibration maps the camera to the picture automatically.

Dry-fire and get scored

Fire your laser trainer at a target. PocketRange finds the red flash, scores the hit and answers with sound. You can even shoot the menus and START from the line.

FAQ

Questions

Does PocketRange use live ammunition?

No. PocketRange is for dry-fire practice only. No ammunition is ever fired. Unload and check your firearm, and keep all live ammunition out of the room. Read the Safety Notice before every session.

What laser do I need?

A red laser training cartridge or laser trainer sold for dry fire. PocketRange looks for the red laser flash on the screen. We are not affiliated with any laser trainer maker.

Webcam or phone - which should I use?

Either works. A USB camera with manual exposure, mounted rigidly near the projector, is the classic setup; a global-shutter camera at 60fps or more with a 650nm bandpass filter works best. Or use an Android phone with the free PocketRange Sight app: mount the phone, use its main lens (not the ultrawide), and it sends only the laser-dot positions to your PC over your local network.

Does it work on a Mac?

The PocketRange software runs on Windows PCs. The PocketRange Sight phone app is for Android.

Can two people shoot together?

Yes. The Range has a 2 Players mode: 19 games run split screen, left half against right half, with the same targets on the same beep, plus a head-to-head Dueling Tree. Breach is co-op for 1-3 shooters. Because both lasers are red, the system scores by where hits land rather than whose laser fired.

Do I need an internet connection or an account?

No accounts. Scores and settings stay on your PC, and the camera picture is never recorded or sent anywhere. See the Privacy Policy.

Can I try it without a camera?

Yes. After installing, TEST_WITH_MOUSE.bat turns mouse clicks into shots so you can play every game before your hardware arrives.

How do I get my download?

Right after checkout you land on a download page with your link. Bookmark it: you can come back any time for a fresh link. Questions? Email info@getpocketrange.com.

What if it does not run on my setup?

See our refund policy, or email info@getpocketrange.com with your order email and we will help.

Dry-fire only. Every time.

  • Unload the firearm and check the chamber and magazine well by sight and by feel.
  • Remove all live ammunition from the room you train in.
  • Never look into the laser or point it at anyone's eyes.
