DATASHOT is a free acoustic shot timer that runs in your browser. It uses your device's microphone to detect gunshots and records split times with millisecond precision — no app download required.

Does DATASHOT work for USPSA, IPSC, and IDPA?

Yes. DATASHOT records draw time, split times, and total run time in the format used by USPSA, IPSC, IDPA, and other practical shooting sports. It supports par time, shot limits, and random start delays.

Can I use DATASHOT for dry-fire training?

Yes. DATASHOT works for dry-fire practice with snap caps or a laser training pistol. The acoustic sensitivity can be adjusted to detect quieter sounds like magazine changes, snap cap clicks, or hand claps.

DATASHOT is completely free to use. Creating a free account lets you save session history, review split times, and track your progress over time.

What devices does DATASHOT support?

DATASHOT runs in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, and desktop. It uses the Web Audio API and your device's built-in microphone — no Bluetooth device or dedicated hardware required.

How It Works
