Natalie’s Commentary/Review:
True to NSSF form, this app is awesome. I have yet to see anything like it for the world of firearms. It is incredibly exciting to see the gun community embrace this technology. We are making progress, people!
Where2Shoot has everything you need to digitally prepare for the range. You can find high quality video full of shooting tips from experts in the Tips section and vital basic safety rules under the Safety tab. The primary selling point of this app is, of course, its GPS-guided list of contact info for ranges near you. If you spend a lot of time traveling or happen to have moved recently, this feature can help you find a new place to hone those perishable shooting skills. The only area in which I can see room for improvement when they update the app is this: I would like the location of the ranges to be connected to the Maps app so you can access directions immediately without having to copy and paste address information. Other than that, I am very impressed with their work.
Best part of Where2Shoot – it is FREE! If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, I highly recommend making this little advancement part of your app collection.
Where2Shoot is the comprehensive app that the firearms community has so desperately needed. Kudos to NSSF for making this happen!
UPDATE: I just heard from the NSSF and they are working on an Adroid app that will be out this summer.
