Joel's Target Shootout has moved well beyond the original
coming-soon concept.
Core scoring, multiplayer, practice tools, statistics,
printable targets and community features are now being
developed and tested together as one platform.
Welcome to Joel's Target Shootout
Thank you for joining us. Whether you're shooting with an
Air Rifle, Crossbow or Catapult,
the aim is to provide a friendly place to practise,
compete, track your progress and enjoy a growing
collection of target games.
New games, scoring tools and community features will
continue to be added as the platform develops.
Please shoot responsibly, compete fairly and,
most importantly, enjoy yourself.
Development & Testing Underway
New scoring tools, games and target technology are being added regularly.

INFRASTRUCTURE • COMPLETE
🚀
Dedicated Server Migration & APK Development Preparation
Joel's Target Shootout has now been moved from the shared
Sports Guide environment onto its own dedicated server
infrastructure.
The migration included the public website, logged-in
application, supporting assets, web-server configuration,
DNS records, HTTPS certificates and live service validation.
Completing this move before beginning APK development gives
the project a much cleaner and more reliable foundation.
The Android application can now be built around a dedicated
domain and server that are no longer tied to unrelated
services or development work.
This separation makes future APK development easier to
manage, reduces the risk of changes to other projects
affecting Joel's Target Shootout, simplifies testing and
troubleshooting, and gives us a clearer path for versioning,
backups, updates and future expansion.
With the dedicated environment now live and stable, the
next phase is ready to begin:
Android APK development and testing.

foundations are getting stronger with every build
