On October 17-18, 2026, the firing line at Gateway Rifle & Pistol Club in Jacksonville, Florida, brought together the competitors and volunteers behind the Florida State Precision Pistol Championships and NRA Day. This year, there was a new tool at the scoring table: APEX by RangePocket.
We joined Ted and Sue Carter and the match team to use our competition scoring platform during the championship. It was an opportunity to put months of development and feedback to work at a real match, and to learn directly from the people keeping it running.

Built with the people who run the match
Good scoring software needs to fit a match director's day. That means clear competitor records, practical relay and lane assignments, straightforward score entry, and results that competitors can find and understand.
Ted and Sue's suggestions have helped shape both the tablet workflow and the ArmorySync results website. Their feedback has reached well beyond entering a score: how to present class standings, separate .22-only competitors, prepare awards worksheets, and make reporting less cumbersome after the last relay.
Throughout the weekend, competitors and match leadership shared encouraging feedback about the workflow and time saved. Just as importantly, using the app together revealed the small details that deserve more attention. Those observations are guiding our next improvements.
From the target to the scorecard
Precision Pistol has an established scoring language. Our aim is to make the recordkeeping easier while keeping that language familiar: individual shot values, course totals, X counts, and a clear review of the scorecard.
Range Pocket brings that workflow to iPad and Android tablets. Scores can be entered locally, with cloud synchronization connecting the scoring devices to the published results when a connection is available. The shooter does not need to install an app to follow the results on the website.
The tablet is one part of the process. On the web, competitors can review posted results and detailed score breakdowns, while match directors have separate tools for reports and awards preparation. Keeping those tasks connected helps reduce the amount of information that has to be copied from one place to another.
A shared direction across disciplines
Our Precision Pistol work builds on our collaboration with Chad Barber and the NRA America's Rifle Challenge community. ARC and Bullseye have different scoring requirements, but their match teams share a practical need: dependable tools that make it easier to organize competitors, record scores, and share results.
APEX is the competition scoring side of the broader Range Pocket platform. Range Pocket also supports firearm records, range logs, maintenance, and personal training. Competition is an extension of that work, shaped around the needs of match directors, scoring teams, and competitors.
What comes next
We are grateful to Ted, Sue, the Gateway Rifle & Pistol Club team, and everyone who took the time to use the system and share feedback. Their experience is helping turn a working scoring platform into a better match-day tool.
The Florida weekend is a milestone, not a finish line. We will keep refining the scoring and reporting workflows, with continued club use and the possibility of supporting the 2027 National Championships as goals ahead.
For now, the best way to see the work is to explore the Florida State Championship match page and its full results.
