The tracking software is quite processor heavy so you will need a modern smartphone manufactured from 2019 onward.  For iPhones you will need an iPhone6s or later. For Android the best way to check is to visit the Google Play store link here.  If you can download the app your phone is compatible.

It is a common misconception that dry firing damages firing pins. We have used dry firing as a training technique for decades on both rifles and pistols and never had an issue with firing pin damage. On centerfire rifles, when no cartridge is present the tip of the firing pin strikes nothing in the breech, instead it is stopped by the bolt itself. The force of the firing pin being stopped by the bolt on center fire rifles is negligible. On a rim fire rifle however, the firing pin will hit the hard steel of the breechface and if done excessively will cause damage to the pin. It is for this reason that we recommend using snap caps if you want to dry fire your rim fire, they will work perfectly well with Virtual-Shot too.
