Longshot Ranger 100 Yard Camera Review

This is not a paid review, sponsored post, or anything like that. It is just the kind of gear I enjoy testing and talking about.

I recently used the Longshot Ranger 100 Yard Camera during a range session, and I came away impressed. I was working with a few different setups, including .308 and .270 for ammo testing and zeroing, along with a 5.56 optic check and confirming where the rifle was hitting with a suppressor attached.

The biggest thing I noticed right away was how much faster it made the whole process.

At 51, my eyesight is not getting any better. Even with binoculars, trying to see bullet holes at 100 yards can be frustrating. You spend too much time guessing, walking downrange, or trying to confirm what you think you are seeing. The Longshot camera took a lot of that out of the equation.

Setup was easy. The camera connected without any issue at 100 yards, and I had no glitching or connection problems during the session. The app was easy to use, and once I had it running, it gave me immediate feedback on where shots were landing.

One feature I really liked was the ability to mark different shots in different colors. That made it much easier to compare different ammo and see what each group was doing without having to rely on memory or scribbled notes. For ammo testing, that is a big deal. You can look at the target and immediately see which rounds are grouping better and where they are hitting.

The immediate feedback on grouping was also helpful. Instead of shooting a few rounds, wondering what happened, and then trying to confirm it through binoculars, the target was right there on the screen. That made adjustments much faster and more confident.

In fact, I was able to zero the .308 and .270 in less than 15 minutes and move on to plinking. That alone made the camera worth having on the bench.

Another feature I liked was the ability to record the screen and use a split screen or picture-in-picture view. That is a nice touch because it lets you keep the target view up while still capturing the session. For someone testing ammo, checking groups, or just wanting to review a range session later, that adds even more value.

There were a couple of small things I had to figure out. I am still working through the blink feature for identifying the last shot. I also realized that if you have both an iPhone and iPad set to connect automatically, it may look like both are connected, but the camera is really intended to work with one device at a time. The better move is to pick one device for the session and stick with it.

That is not really a complaint, just something to know before you get started.

Overall, the Longshot Ranger 100 Yard Camera did exactly what I hoped it would do. It saved time, made hits easier to see, helped with ammo comparison, and made the zeroing process much less frustrating.

For anyone who spends time zeroing rifles, testing ammo, checking optics, or confirming where a rifle is hitting with a suppressor attached, this is a piece of range gear that actually makes the day easier.

It is not complicated. It is not flashy. It just works, and that is usually what I appreciate most.
