Why Markfire

A better tool for the job

Fast and easy or thorough and organized? Choose both. Patent-pending technology and purpose-built workflows capture the right data instantly. Build on your range sessions to see exactly what changed between your best group and your worst.

We didn't guess what reloaders need. We are reloaders. Every feature exists because we ran into the same problems you did.

TrueScale Targets

Auto-correct perspective distortion and produce accurate shot measurements. Detect holes automatically.

Composite Targets

Precise, individual shot placements across large sample sizes.

Flexible Data Entry

Every field optional. Capture what you need at the range, deal with the rest later.

Insightful Charts

Easy to use charts that can quickly determine the optimal load.

TrueScale Targets

What if measuring your groups was as easy as taking a photo?

Snap a photo of your target at the range. Markfire and TrueScale do the rest — detecting every impact, measuring every distance, and delivering data you can trust. No manual input. No guesswork.

Automatic scale detection

No rulers, no reference objects, no manual calibration. Embedded markers at known positions let the system calculate exact pixel-to-inch scale from every photo automatically.

Perspective distortion correction

Phone cameras rarely capture a perfect rectangle. Even a slight angle skews measurements. TrueScale detects and corrects for camera angle so your data reflects reality — not your phone's point of view.

Automatic hole detection

No tapping on screen. No marking impacts by hand. The target's dot grid pattern lets the system identify exactly where shots landed by detecting what's missing — down to the smallest changes. In the event a marker is slightly off, it can easily be corrected.

No special equipment needed

No tripods. No dedicated cameras. No apps running in the background. Just the phone in your pocket and a TrueScale target downrange.

Works in real range conditions

Designed to perform with wrinkled targets, variable lighting, and imperfect photos. The marker system is resilient enough to work the way you actually shoot — not just in a lab.

Print at home

Download and print TrueScale targets on any standard printer. No razor-and-blades tactics. Print as many as you need before every range trip.

Composite Targets

Large sample sizes without losing individual shot placement.

Three and five shot groups are tradition — but statistically, they're noise. You need a larger sample size to truly know how a load performs. The problem? Too many shots into one target turns into a single ragged hole where individual impacts are impossible to distinguish. Composite targets solve this. Shoot in sets, swap in fresh paper, and let the software combine everything into a single, statistically meaningful result.

Set 3 (5 shots)

Shots: 15 · ES: 3.1 in · MR: 0.7 in · SDx: 0.7 in · SDy: 0.5 in

Composite (15 shots)

Every shot stays identifiable

Shoot 5-10 rounds per paper and swap to a fresh target. Each set stays clean and readable, so every individual impact is accurately detected — no overlapping craters to guess through.

One composite result from multiple targets

Every set you capture gets merged into a single aggregate target. All calculations run across the full data set as if every round landed on one sheet.

Advanced Calculations

Extreme spread only tells part of the story. With every shot individually placed across your composite, you get accurate mean radius, standard deviation, and center of impact — meaningful measurements that require placing every shot.

Flexible Data Entry

Structured enough to be useful. Flexible enough to stay out of your way.

Rigid forms kill momentum. Markfire doesn't force you to complete every field before saving. Log your charge weight and bullet at the bench, add targets and group data at the range, drop in velocities that night. Your workflow. Your order. Your pace.

Every field optional

Nothing is mandatory. Save a load with just a charge weight or build out a full record with every variable. The software never locks you out for leaving something blank.

Edit and update anytime

Started a record at the bench and headed to the range? Pick up where you left off. Add velocities, attach target data, update notes — your records are living documents, not locked entries.

Capture at the range, refine at home

Tap in the essentials between strings when time is short. Clean it up, add detail, and review patterns when you're back at your desk.

Charts

The clearest path to your optimal load.

What's my most accurate charge weight? At what velocity does dispersion become significant? Did neck sizing make a meaningful difference? Markfire's charts are built to answer exactly those questions — visually, instantly, and without digging.

Charge weight vs mean radius

Plot your ladder results instantly. See where groups tighten up and where MR drops — the clearest signals that you're closing in on an optimal charge.

Seating depth vs group size

Visualize how seating depth changes affect precision. Spot the sweet spot where your groups tighten.

Side-by-side load comparison

Compare two or more loads across every variable in one view. See exactly what changed between your best performer and your worst — and why.

ES and SD trends

Track extreme spread and standard deviation across loads. See consistency patterns quickly and easily.

Session-over-session tracking

Your loads don't exist in isolation. See how performance trends across multiple range trips — is a load getting more consistent or was that first group a fluke?

Built for decisions, not decoration

Charts built to answer specific questions that reloaders actually ask. No generic graphs. No vanity metrics. Just the visuals that help you uncover the truth.

FAQ

Answers

Do I need the Markfire TrueScale Target for automatic hole detection?

Yes. Automatic hole detection relies on the Poisson-disc dot pattern printed on TrueScale targets. The system identifies shots by detecting which dots are missing. Without that pattern, automatic detection isn’t possible — but you can still mark shots manually.

What if I want to shoot my own target?

No problem! Simply tape the TrueScale target to the back of any standard target.

What if I accidentally shoot the markers?

The redundancy is there for a reason. While more are better, at a minimum you only need 4 markers — one on each side of the target.

Do I need a reference line or a ruler in the photo?

No. TrueScale targets have embedded AprilTag markers at known positions around the border. The system uses these to calculate exact pixel-to-inch scale automatically — no rulers, reference objects, or manual calibration needed.

How does the composite (aggregate) target work?

Shoot in sets of 5–10 rounds, swapping to a fresh target each time. Capture each target individually. Markfire merges all detected shots into a single composite view and runs calculations across the entire data set — giving you statistically meaningful results without the mess of overlapping holes.

Can I import velocities from my chronograph?

Yes. Markfire supports velocity import from CSV and FIT files. Pull data from your LabRadar, MagnetoSpeed, or any chronograph that exports to these formats and attach it directly to your session.

Does it work on mobile and desktop?

Yes. Markfire is a web application that works on any modern browser — phone, tablet, or desktop. Capture data at the range on your phone and review it later on a larger screen.

What happens if my subscription expires?

Your data doesn’t disappear. You keep lifetime read-only access to everything — every load, every session, every chart. You can also export all your data, including images, at any time. Resubscribe whenever you’re ready to start adding and editing again.

Is this just another logbook?

If you want it to be, sure, but you’d be missing out on a lot of time savings! Patent-pending TrueScale targets automate shot detection and measurement. Composite targets enable statistically meaningful sample sizes. Charts are purpose-built to answer the questions reloaders actually ask. It’s the tool we wished existed — so we built it.
