Mount it. Range it. Read it.
RealShot is a mechanical reel that clamps to your scope tube or rifle receiver. A waterproof strip, printed with your rifle's own range, elevation and wind data, slots into it. Here's what happens at each step.
1 · Mount it
RealShot clamps to your scope tube or your rifle's receiver, so it stays with the rifle rather than in your pocket. Ring-mounted scopes use R1 (side) or R2 (low, near the receiver). Railed rifles use B1 (Weaver / Picatinny) or B2 (rimfire / air-gun dovetail).
2 · Range it
Range your target with your rangefinder as usual, then rotate the reel until that distance lines up. Distances are printed in metres or yards, whichever you choose when you order.
3 · Read it
Each row on the waterproof strip gives the range (R), the elevation (E) and the wind (W) for that distance. Dial the elevation on your turret in MOA or Mils, or hold with your reticle if your strip is set up for a ballistic reticle, then take the shot.
Not a generic chart — your rifle's own numbers.
Every RealShot strip is worked out from that rifle's own bullet, load and zero, not a one-size-fits-all table. That's the whole point of the name.
What goes into your strip
Bullet type, weight and ballistic coefficient, muzzle velocity, zero distance, and your approximate hunting altitude — plus whether your scope dials in MOA or Mils, and whether you'd rather read metres or yards.
Reticle or turret — your choice
Set up to match standard scope turret clicks, or printed to suit a ballistic reticle's holdover marks instead — tell us which when you configure yours.
Why not just use a phone app?
Data for this kind of shooting is usually written or printed on paper or card — sometimes taped straight to the butt of the rifle. It gets lost, forgotten, or destroyed. Phones are slow to use, and no faster if you have to get up or move to check one.
| Phone ballistic app | RealShot | |
|---|---|---|
| Battery / signal | Needs both | Needs neither |
| Cold, wet hands | Fumbly, screen glare | One twist, read it |
| Where it lives | In your pocket — if you remember it | On the rifle, always |
| Speed at the moment of truth | Unlock, open app, wait | Glance, dial, fire |
Fits the rifle you already own.
RealShot isn't a new scope to buy — it's a small addition to the rifle and scope you already trust. Four mount options cover ring-mounted and rail-mounted setups, centrefire and rimfire alike.
When a new load is used, it's easy and cheap to print out a new strip with revised data.

Trusted at the bench and on the hill.
RealShot is designed and hand-assembled in New Zealand by a lifelong competitive marksman — decades of national rifle championships, long-range and moving-target titles, and a career spent handloading ammunition for optimum accuracy.
