Brass App is a revolutionary dryfire training app that enables shooters to practice and improve their target skills from the comfort of their own homes.

how to set up a home range with brass app
1.
Select a Suitable Location:
Begin by choosing a room or a dedicated space in your home that allows for a clear and unobstructed shooting line. Find a well-lit area with no cross traffic and enough space to safely practice drawing, aiming, and firing your firearm. It’s essential to ensure that your chosen location prioritizes safety and allows you to focus on developing your shooting discipline.
2.
Create a Backdrop:
To ensure Brass App recognizes your dryfire shots accurately, you will need a backdrop with contrasting colors or patterns. If necessary, hang a sheet or attach a blank canvas to a stand at a distance that suits your shooting needs. The backdrop should be large enough to cover your targeted shooting area entirely.
3.
Mount Your Target:
Brass App works with whatever bullseye target you want to train with, including Triumph Systems Shot Seeker Bullseye Targets. You can mount your target directly on the wall or use a freestanding target stand.
4.
Proper Lighting:
Adequate lighting is crucial in ensuring Brass App accurately identifies your shots. Make sure the shooting area is well-lit, and any reflections or glares that might interfere with the camera recognition system are minimized or eliminated.
5.
Prepare Your Firearm:
Before starting your dryfire practice, ensure that your firearm is completely unloaded and that all live ammunition is kept separate from the shooting area. Always follow proper firearm safety protocols to prevent any accidents.
6.
Load Your Laser Cartridge:
Use a laser training cartridge that is compatible with your firearm. These typically replace the actual firing chamber component.
Note: You can also use a laser gun such as the SIRT 110 Training Pistol for dryfire training with Brass App.
7.
Download and Install Brass App:
Head to the app store on your smartphone (available for iOS and Android devices) and download Brass App. Open the app and follow the setup instructions, including creating an account and connecting the app to your shooting range.
8.
Align the App with Your Home Range:
Brass App utilizes the camera on your smartphone to detect and analyze your dryfire shots. We recommend using a tripod or the innovative Brass Stand quad-pod for stability. Mount your device securely, then follow the on-screen instructions within Brass App to align the camera’s viewfinder with your target. This step ensures accurate shot recognition and feedback.
