I am an app developer and I have an idea for an app that will allow you to create a database of your weapons with pics and info as well as allow you to enter rounds fired for every session at the range.

What are your thoughts?

Many have built these apps, but I personally think it is a waste of time. I just take one pic of the gun, then the next pic will have all the serial numbers, cost, and any other useful information. These pics are then saved to a disc in my safe, with a copy on my hard drive.

Havasu, thanks for your inputs. Is tracking rounds through your weapon an important thing to you?

I keep an MS Excel spreadsheet on all my firearms with Model #...Serial #... Date of Manufacture... Caliber... etc...and a Range Book with each firearm to record round count and other pertinent info...especially which ammo works best ( POA/POI ) in that particular gun.

Like havasu...one copy on a thumb drive and one on the hard drive...and one in a bank safe deposit box....pictures included for insurance purposes. The one at the bank gets updated with a new thumb drive every 3 months.

Don't think I would want to keep those records on a smart phone...


I also inventory my various calibers on a MS Excel spreadsheet...( Yea...my inventory IS that large )

 

[havasu]

I personally don't worry about tracking rounds. There is not enough time to worry about that silly little stuff. If that was my concern, Excel spread sheet could handle it all. Then again, if the app was free, that might be OK, but not worth paying for.

 

[SvSoft]

Very interesting thank you both for the info. Is there an app or software that you wished existed that is gun related?

 

[SHOOTER13]

This guys good...

To answer your question...not at this time.

Thanks Shooter13!

I just have the make,model,serial # and caliber wrote on a piece of paper in my safe and also billfold but I don't have a big inventory either .

I used to use "gun tracker " app. List guns, serials, pictures, range times, cleaning times, ammo......and thats the free version i think I'm missing some other things it does. There are a couple apps out there already it looks.

 

[SvSoft]

Tchort, sounds like you are not using that app now. Can I ask why you ditched it?

 

[Tchort]

Think was because of change of phone, upgrade. Now just as easy to keep on exel spread sheet. That i can tranfer from phone to tablet to laptop and back and forth with updates.
