Shooting ranges can get crowded, and with multiple SG devices in use, it’s easy for connections to go wrong or for device settings to be accidentally altered.
📲 The latest update for the Drills App and Shooters Global devices introduces a secure Bluetooth connection system, designed to prevent unwanted or accidental pairing.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to pair your devices safely, switch between smartphones, and troubleshoot connection issues — step by step.
General Rules for Pairing
🔄 Before starting, make sure you have updated the Drills App to the latest version and the device firmware.
The pairing process works similarly for all SG devices. Bluetooth pairing mode must be enabled before pairing.
⌛ Once active, you have 60 seconds to complete the connection from your smartphone.
