Get the Beta on Your iPhone

Why You’re in the Beta

Your runs make the app better. That’s why you’re in.

The app learns to hear shots from real runs. Real guns, real timers, real echoes. We can’t film all of that ourselves.

Every run you send trains the AI that finds your shots. The runs it gets wrong teach it the most.

What a run sends us:

• The sound of the run. Always.
• The video. A short, trimmed copy, so we can see which shots are yours. Switch it off for any run you can’t share.
• Your answers. Shots fired, caliber, indoor or outdoor, other shooters nearby, how far away the phone was, where the beep came from and what went wrong.
• The app’s read of the run. The shot times it found and every one you fixed.
• Your app version, iOS version and iPhone model.
• Your email. So we know whose run it is and can tell you when it led to a fix.

Nothing leaves your phone until you tap Send This Run. You pick the run. You pick whether the video goes. How we handle it.

You get the app early and free. We get the runs that make it better.

Before You Start

• An iPhone on iOS 16.4 or newer. Check it in Settings › General › About, under iOS Version.
• Your Apple Account, signed in to the App Store. The same one you download apps with.
• On Android? Not yet. Android is next.

Install It

1. Get TestFlight

   TestFlight is Apple’s free app for testing apps before they reach the App Store. Get it first.

   Get TestFlight

2. Open Your Invite

   Your invite is an email from TestFlight, Apple’s testing app. Open it on your iPhone. Tap View in TestFlight.

   Apple Showed You a Code Instead?

   That’s normal. It happens when the email opens on a computer or inside some mail apps. On your iPhone, open TestFlight, tap Redeem and type the code. Then go to step 3.

3. Accept, Then Install

   TestFlight opens to Hits & Splits. Tap Accept. Then tap Install. See Open instead? It’s already on your phone.

4. Open Hits & Splits

   It’s on your Home Screen. The orange dot by its name means it’s a beta. When it asks for access, tap Allow:

   • Camera and microphone, to record a run.
   • Photos, to pick a video and save the ones you export.
   • Bluetooth, only if you connect an SG shot timer.

5. Send Us Your Runs

   This is the job. Open a run, tap ⋯ at the top, then Send This Run to The Barrax. Answer the questions and send it.

   Missed a shot? Counted an echo? Send that one first.

Updates

Small fixes download on their own. Close the app and open it again to get them.

Bigger updates come through TestFlight. You get a notification. Open TestFlight and tap Update. If it asks about automatic updates, turn them on.

Each beta version works for 90 days. Update when TestFlight asks.
