Confirm Your Email Before Inviting Students
COACHBefore a coach can email an invitation to a student, or send a whole roster, they confirm their own email with one tap on "Send me the link". Students added by name only need no confirmation.
What's new in Clays Buddy for mobile and web.
Before a coach can email an invitation to a student, or send a whole roster, they confirm their own email with one tap on "Send me the link". Students added by name only need no confirmation.
The Feed now shows today's shoot first, then up to three coming shoots at your home ground or a ground you follow, each saying which one it is. "See all" opens every shoot. Shoots at grounds you have nothing to do with no longer appear between your friends' posts.
If you signed up with email and have not confirmed it yet, every page on the website now says so. One tap on "Send me the link" sends you a fresh confirmation email. Nothing is locked while you wait.
Coaches can now give a team its own page to send to parents, schools and clubs. It shows the team name, town, description and coach names. It is off until you tick "Show this team on a public page" when you edit the team. Shooters who join with the invite link can also choose to have their name listed, and change that choice later from the same link.
Profiles, feed posts and emails now show "FITASC Compak" instead of one name per layout. Your profile gives one total and one average for the discipline. Each round still shows its layout.
When you are shooting in a competition today, it sits at the top of Home. One tap adds a score, writes a post or opens your day. It works with no signal.
With no signal or a weak one, Stats, your profile and the Feed now open at once with what you last saw, and a short note says when it was saved. They refresh when the connection returns. A Like you give with no signal waits on your phone and is sent when you are back online.
Every saved round in the app now has a Share button. It builds a picture of your score and sends it through your phone's share menu. On a private round, the app says so first: sharing sends the picture and the round stays private, or you can make it public too.
Gold shooters can write a process goal on the Gold Dashboard: the one or two steps you want to follow on every target. Each new review of a day of shooting starts with that process already filled in, so you can rate how well you followed it straight away.
Coaches can write a note on a student after a practice or a shoot. Each note is either "Only me" or "Share with student". Shared notes show up for the student under Your Coaches in My Account.
Gold shooters can write a short review of any day they shot in the last 7 days: your process, how well you followed it, what went well and what you worked out. The Gold Dashboard offers the review, and you can open or change it later from your History. Your coach can see your rating and what you write, beside your rounds from that day. Coaches can also give a student a process goal, which the student sees in their account.
When you set up a practice, choose which team it is for. Every coach who has accepted that team's invite sees the practice on their dashboard and can open it. Only the coach who made it can change or delete it. Picking a team ticks all of its students for you; untick whoever is not coming.
Gold shooters who record a competition result see their average against the winner, how often they finish in the top 10, their podiums and wins, and each event dated, on the Gold Dashboard and in Score Stats.
In My Account, choose your association and enter your member number. Other signed-in shooters see only your association when your profile is visible. Your number stays private in My Account. Clays Buddy does not verify membership.
Losing signal, a Wi-Fi login page or a blocked network no longer signs you out. My Account shows the teams you're part of, and you can leave one. Coaches see their students first when picking a squad. In Add Many Rounds, each round can be set Public or private on its own. Finishing a live round confirms it's saved and takes you to your rounds. The app fits better on small Android phones and in dark mode, and the sign-in screens stay above the keyboard. Your shooting hand and dominant eye are now part of your profile.
Running a club event as a coach? Open the event and choose Open TV leaderboard. It shows every shooter ranked by hit rate, with hits out of targets beside it, and refreshes by itself. Put it on the clubhouse screen: no sign-in needed to watch.
Enter four gauge scores and optional doubles to see your overall and all-around totals and averages. Try the calculator.
Sign in on the website and open My Scores to see your rounds, add one or many at once, edit and delete them, and keep your guns and home ground under My Guns and My Grounds, change your name and photo under Account, and share a public profile page with your latest rounds. Export all scores (CSV) on My Scores downloads every round you have logged as one file for a spreadsheet. No Gold needed. Stats stay with Gold, and the Get Gold page now has a link back to My Scores.
On a student's Records tab, coaches can copy a link and send it to anyone. The page shows the student's latest rounds, with no app or account needed. The link stops working if the coach removes the student.
A round you set to Private no longer counts in the rounds, average and disciplines other people see on your profile. You still see all your rounds in your own totals.
Three new pages on the website show what the app scores for each discipline and link to the matching class calculator: trap, skeet and sporting clays. Each page also offers free printable score cards, with no sign-up: all 13 trap events, all 5 skeet events, sporting clays, FITASC Sporting, Compak, Sportrap and five stand.
On the Create an Account screen, the password rule is one line that turns into the error if the password is too short, and the button comes into view once you tap the password field.
Coaches no longer pay to get started: add students by email, by name alone, from a roster spreadsheet or with one short invite link per team that you copy with one tap, and invite assistant coaches to coach alongside you. The Add Student page takes one student by name (email optional), or a whole squad pasted in at once, one per line, each with an email or just a name. If an add is refused, what you typed stays in the form, and after adding you are back on the same team. A student you added by name alone has an Edit name link next to their name on your roster, so a typo is fixed without removing them and their scores stay. You see the rounds every student on your roster shares, with no approval step, and can import past ones from an Excel or CSV spreadsheet, and can add them to a squad in the app in one tap. Each student's page opens with their name and team, and every round shows who scored it. The team summary, each student's stats and the Team Weak Spots card are part of the Coach subscription; open the coach area from "For Coaches" at the bottom of every page. Team Weak Spots is now a table: every shooter on your team down the side, your team's weakest targets across the top, and each shooter's hits, targets and hit rate in the cell, in red when it is below the team's. It names the season it covers. A team that shoots one sport sees the card without picking a sport. That page now shows the Coach plan's price, labels each screen Free or Coach plan, and answers common questions, and Get Started makes your free account with Apple, Google, Facebook or your email. After sign-up, setup asks only for a team name before you add your first student, and shows your next step until the first score is in. Enter squad scores opens with every student ready to type into: type the hits for the students who shot, and rows left empty are not saved. The confirmation email you get after Get Started brings you back to team setup. Once you have opened the coach area, logging in on the website takes you back to it, even before your first student is added (Gold members still land on their Gold dashboard). A shooter who already has an account gets an email when a coach adds them, and their Account page lists each coach with a Leave button. On a phone, the roster fits the screen: each student's actions sit under their name, labeled and easy to tap, and the tabs on a student's page stay on one line with Add Score below them. A coach with no season yet sees an Add Season button beside the dashboard filters, and Add Team opens the new-team form directly. A student added without a team now opens the All Students roster, so the new name is right there.
Create an account or sign in with one tap using Apple, Google or Facebook, with no password to remember. If your coach already added you with the same email, you land in that account. Resetting your password on claysbuddy.com now also signs the ClaysBuddy app out on your phones; sign in again with the new password.
On Add Score, choose "Add them all at once". Set the sport, ground, gun and shells once, then add one line per round with its date and hits, and save every round together. In the app the target count is set once for all lines. On the web this is for Gold members, and each line has its own target count, so 25-target and 50-target rounds go in together; a line can also name the competition event it was shot in and be set Public or Private. If you type a ground's name without picking it from the list, the page asks you to pick one or clear the box before it saves. On a laptop the Note box on each line is wider. Add Score and Edit Score on the web have the same Privacy choice for a single round: it starts on Public, and switching a round to Private takes it out of the feed.
For Gold members: Stats on the web has a new All time period with one point per year, so you can see how far you have come. In the app, the progress chart places each round on its date, so a break between seasons shows as a gap. The app's Stats screen also opens on the period you picked last time. The Score Ranges chart, on the web and in the app, shows every round under its own range. On the web, the Score Ranges and Streaks charts no longer show a blank legend entry when there is no earlier period to compare with. The filters on the Gold stats pages and the coach pages on the web apply as soon as you choose; the Refresh button is gone. The key numbers on the web now include Perfect Rounds, the number of rounds where you broke every target, with the change from the previous period. A new Career card on the web shows your average by year, your total rounds and targets, your best year and your best round, whichever period you pick.
Rounds you score for yourself are now public unless you turn off their Public switch, and the feed shows your own rounds first, then shooters you follow, then grounds you follow, then everyone else. A round dated more than two weeks back is saved to your history without a feed post, so old scores no longer crowd out recent ones. Shoots coming up in the next two weeks appear in the feed too; add one to your calendar and its Results tab later shows what you shot there. When someone likes or comments on your post, round or check-in, we email you if you have agreed to social emails.
Shoots moved into the Scores tab, and a new You tab holds your profile and settings. Photos open full screen when tapped, and your profile photo and home ground come back when you sign in on a new phone. Scrolling the feed no longer skips posts.
We've removed advertising from the app entirely — the banners and the full-screen ads between rounds are both gone, on every tier. Scoring a round is now uninterrupted whether you're on Gold or not.
The new Stats tab brings your whole game onto your phone: progress trends, score distributions, year-over-year comparisons, and breakdowns by location, shotgun, and ammunition — per sport, per season.
Mark your shots and see your misses — behind, below, left — on a heatmap around the clay, filterable by target type, distance, speed, and height. The targets-to-work-on list names the presentations costing you the most birds, and streak tracking shows your longest runs.
Gold in the app now starts with a 3-day free trial, so you can see your own miss patterns before paying anything. Gold is $9.99/month or $49.99/year.
A new guides library built on the coaching system of Olympic coach Bill Erdőss. Free guides cover how to shoot every target — crossers, incomers, going-aways, battues and more — plus fundamentals like finding your dominant eye.
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.

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.
