Description
Short. Peregrine turns an iPhone into a dry-fire trainer that scores every laser hit on a printed target. Where it landed, how fast, and why you missed.
Long. Print one of six targets on letter paper, tape it up and scan it once. The camera then reads every flash from a laser training cartridge and places each hit, with a draw time, splits and a score. Circle targets score by placement: one point for every millimetre inside the rim.
Eight of the 25 built-in drills are adapted from well-known standards such as the Bill Drill and the FAST, and the Drill Designer builds your own with spoken callouts. Drift Diagnosis names the likely cause of a pattern of misses, such as trigger jerk. Advanced analytics chart speed, accuracy and groups over time, and up to three profiles keep shooters apart.
Free to download, and the free tier never expires. One purchase of $14.99 unlocks the rest, with no subscription. Built in Austin, Texas.

A free unlock code
If we emailed you, your code is already in that email. Otherwise, email support@peregrinedryfire.com, naming your outlet, and a one-time unlock code comes back the same day.
Where to start
Scan the IDPA Silhouette and run Free Shoot to see how the app finds the target and picks up each hit. Then run Mozambique from Drills, which calls Body, Body, Head. Five minutes in you will have splits and a Drift Diagnosis card.
Safety, stated plainly
Dry fire only. A safety warning with the four firearm safety rules pops up when the app opens. Choose “Do not show again” and it still pops up every 20th opening and after 7 days away.
