Stand & Swing

The problem it solves

Most shooters track one number: the round score. Twenty-two out of twenty-five tells you how the day went, and nothing about what to work on. The information that would actually make you better — that you drop most of your birds on station four, or on any target crossing right to left, or on the second bird of every pair — is in the round, but nobody writes it down, because writing it down on a scorecard between stations is a nuisance.

Stand & Swing records at the individual target level instead of the round level, with an input method fast enough to use between shots. Once the data exists at that resolution, the analysis is straightforward.

What it does

• Score from the watch. Hit or miss, target by target, without taking a phone out of your pocket or breaking your position between stations.
• Station-level analysis. Hit rate broken out by station and by target presentation, so you can see where the birds are going and whether it's a station problem or a target-type problem.
• Trends over time. Round history that shows whether the thing you've been working on is actually improving, rather than whether you had a good day.
• Doubles handled properly. First and second bird tracked separately, because they're different shots and averaging them hides the problem.
• Your data stays yours. No ads, no third-party analytics, no selling or brokering what the app records.
