Misclicked a clay or need to correct a score after publishing? Open any published round, edit the targets, and tap Re-publish. Edits propagate to friends viewing your leaderboard — no more deleting and re-scoring.
Every official competition now has a Results tab with a ranked scoreboard. Gold members see the full ranking with rank circles and scores; free users see the top entries with an upgrade prompt for the rest.
Checked in across multiple days of a multi-day competition? Your attendee badge now counts the days so other shooters see the commitment at a glance.
Smoother search on Browse Competitions — visible field border, no keyboard reflow. More reliable loading on spotty cell signal. Fixed a rare crash when opening Setup Station on a published round.
ClaysBuddy is now free for everyone. All scoring, history, squads, and competitions are unlocked with no limits on the free tier. PRO has been renamed to GOLD — subscribers get a gold ring on their profile avatar plus the same premium perks. Pricing dropped to $2.99/month or $29.99/year.
Post photos from the range with one tap. Tag where you're shooting with a GPS check-in on every post. Edit any post from the three-dot menu, or share photo-only posts — caption is optional.
Leaderboard header redesigned so long sport names fit on every iPhone. Round Setup now scrolls so you can reach every field on any screen size. After publishing a round, you land on Squads so you can pick the next one in one tap.
Fixed a scoring crash when adding a shooter without an email. Squads with mixed registered and unregistered shooters now publish cleanly. Quieter error logging — no more noisy retries on expected failures.
To keep scoring unlimited for everyone, free users now see an interstitial ad after every second station between rounds. A small "Remove ads · Go Gold" link lives under the scoring banner so you can upgrade whenever you like. Everything below the ad layer stays the same.
Set up your shooter profile with a photo, home club, sports, and bio. Search other shooters by name or buddy code, view their profile, and follow them to see their range activity in your feed.
New feed shows posts from people you follow and from shooters at competitions you've checked into. Like, comment, and share quick range updates with the community.
Check in at any competition to mark your attendance. See who else is shooting, browse the activity from check-ins and posts, and stay connected with the people on your line.
New 4-step setup walks you through sports, location, profile, and discovering shooters nearby. Profile suggestions are location-aware, so you find people from your home club fast.
Profile photos now appear throughout scoring, leaderboards, and squadding so you instantly know who's in the round.
Image caching for faster feed and avatar loading, smoother offline handling on profile and discover screens, automatic redirect to login when sessions expire, and several smaller fixes for follows and syncing.
Browse and search official competitions from our database. View disciplines, dates, and venue details, then get directions with built-in map links. Clone any competition to your personal list with one tap and filter by Upcoming or Past to find what matters.
Add checklists to any competition to track your preparation. Edit items inline with a tap and see progress badges on competition list cards so you know what's left at a glance.
New "My Sports" section for faster sport selection when creating events. Automatic end date based on start date, better sport and location preselection when editing, and direct navigation to event details after creation.
Fixed date display for same-day competitions, UK region detection for imperial units, and location preselection in round setup. Improved error dialogs and input handling. Upgraded to the latest Flutter for better performance.
Save any course you shoot — stations, targets, photos, and GPS coordinates — then reload it for your next visit. Select a saved course when starting a new squad and everything populates automatically. Photos upload to the cloud so your course library works across devices.
Organize your training sessions into practices. Link multiple squads to a practice and track aggregate stats to measure your improvement over time.
Capture your location at each station as you score. Toggle tracking on or off mid-round from the scoring menu. GPS data is saved with your courses for future reference.
Partner thrower now auto-sets in Following pair mode. Simulated Field added as a fully supported scoring discipline.
Fixed issues that could prevent scores from syncing, smoother session handling, and numerous under-the-hood fixes for a more stable experience.
Added Automatic Ball Trap, Double Trap, FITASC Universal Trap, FITASC Trap1, Sportrap, Super Sporting, and Helice — bringing the total to 32 supported disciplines.

For trap disciplines, record which direction each target flew (left/straight/right) with a single tap. Over time, see patterns in which angles give you trouble and focus your practice accordingly.
Take a photo of each station, then draw target flight paths directly on the image. Set properties for each thrower (target type, speed, angle) and review your course map later to prepare for return visits.
Log equipment changes (new gun, chokes, ammo), technique adjustments, and tactical decisions. Compare your shooting percentage before and after each change with windows of 2 weeks, 30, 60, or 90 days. Finally know if that new stock actually helped your scores.
Free users can now use "Mark All Hit" for perfect rounds. Free tier includes 3 scores per day and 30 days of history — enough to track regular practice without needing GOLD.
Schedule practices and competitions on a calendar. Add events to each session and link scores to specific dates. See how you performed at last month's tournament compared to regular practice sessions.
