A wireless target camera is only as useful as the app running it, and Longshot Cameras just rebuilt the one many competition shooters watch between strings. The Pearland, Texas, company announced a major update to the Longshot App for iOS and Android, reworking the interface and sharpening the shot-analysis tools that let a shooter zero a rifle without ever walking downrange.
Open the redesigned app and the change is immediate. Controls that used to be buried now sit a tap away, with a cleaner layout and a workflow built around how people actually run a camera at the range—find it, watch the target and mark the hits.
“Our goal has always been to help shooters spend more time shooting and less time managing equipment,” said Clay Rhoden, president of Longshot Cameras. “This update reflects feedback from our customers and our commitment to continuously improving the user experience while providing shooters with tools that help them train more effectively.”
Much of that ambition lands in the upgraded Blinker Shot Locator. Rather than chasing impacts one at a time, a shooter can now pull up an entire shot string, tap any single hit to replay it and study how a group came together, instead of guessing after the fact.
Measurements got a parallel rework. A redesigned layout makes placing your point of aim more precise—tap and hold to drop it exactly where you want—which trims the back-and-forth of dialing in a zero and gets you confirmed on target faster.
Customization runs deeper too. Longshot’s Selfie Cam overlay can now be resized and dragged anywhere on screen, and shooters can save screenshots straight to a device or export full session video for training review, competition breakdowns or sharing with a squad.
Under the surface, the work is less visible but arguably more important. Camera discovery is quicker, streaming holds steadier under load and a new automatic lag-recovery routine catches the stutters that used to interrupt a string mid-session.
None of this happened in a vacuum. Many of the new features trace back to Longshot’s Advisor Program, where customers flag what’s missing and help steer what gets built next. Whether you run a Ranger, Ranger+, Marksman, LR-3 or Hawk, the update reaches the whole camera lineup, and it sits on top of the live target viewing, shot marking, group measurement and zeroing tools the app already offered.
