How it works

The H.A.R.T® Hunts Experience

A New Way to Hunt

All Thrill, No Kill

The H.A.R.T Hunts app brings the adventure of real-world hunting to life, without ever firing a projectile.

Designed for seasoned hunters and beginner hunters alike, it lets you experience every step of the hunt exactly as you would on a full harvest hunt, but instead of harvesting an animal, you capture the perfect shot using your firearm, bow, or just the camera on a H.A.R.T Stick.

Every detail is the same: the planning, the scouting, the tracking, and the adrenaline rush of getting into position.

The only difference?

When it’s time to take the shot, the H.A.R.T Hunts app captures the exact moment, verifying your accuracy and rewarding your skill.

Whether you’re training for a real hunt, refining your shooting abilities, or looking for a safari adventure that conserves wildlife, this is hunting reimagined.

How It Works

Enhance Every Hunt

Step 1:

Plan Your Adventure Hunt

Like a traditional hunt, the experience begins long before you step into the field. You’ll need to prepare your gear, your strategy, and yourself for the challenge ahead.

  • Choose Your Animal – Select the species you want to H.A.R.T.
  • Pick Your H.A.R.T Collector – Choose a firearm, archery setup, or camera as your hunting tool.
  • Schedule Your Hunt – Plan your adventure and select your H.A.R.T hunting location.

Step 2:

Track, Stalk, and Get Into Position

The key to any great hunt is stealth, patience, and precision. With H.A.R.T Hunts, you’ll follow all the same steps as a full harvest hunt:

  • Scouting – Study the terrain and movement patterns of your quarry.
  • Locate and Stalk – Close the distance while staying undetected.
  • Positioning – Get within 30 to 40 yards for the ultimate challenge.

Unlike full harvest hunting, H.A.R.T Hunts often require getting even closer to game for the best H.A.R.T shot possible. This tests your tracking, movement, and positioning skills in a way that improves your overall hunting ability.

Step 3:

Take the Shot and Capture the Moment

Now comes the moment of truth; the release. Whether you’re pulling a trigger, releasing a bowstring, or tapping a camera screen, your shot must be precise.

  • Aim at the Vital Organs – The app features an overlay that verifies shot accuracy.
  • Fire Your Weapon, Release the Bowstring, or Tap the Screen – Your phone, mounted to your H.A.R.T collector, captures the exact moment of the shot.
  • Verify Your Accuracy – The app shows where your crosshairs were at the time of release, confirming your skill.

Unlike traditional hunting, both you and the animal walk away from the experience, but the thrill of the hunt remains.

The H.A.R.T Collectors

Choose Your Hunting Method

To make the H.A.R.T Hunts experience as immersive as possible, you’ll mount your phone or camera to a H.A.R.T collector, which is a device that provides the trigger action or movement necessary to activate the shot capture. These include real hunting weapons, training tools, and alternative devices for non-lethal hunts.

Real Firearms & Bows

For Private Land & Preserves Only

These collectors include:

  • Rifles & Handguns – Any caliber can be used, with iron sights or scopes.
  • Shotguns – Ideal for big game or bird hunting experiences.
  • Muzzleloaders – Use a small black powder charge for added realism.
  • Archery – A low draw weight recurve bow (25-40 lbs) with an Astra Archery shot trainer captures the moment the bowstring is released.

These are best for training new hunters or improving accuracy while experiencing the real weight, recoil, and feel of traditional hunting.

Faux Weapons

For Training & Non-Traditional Hunts

Faux weapons are replicas of real firearms and bows that cannot fire projectiles, making them suitable for beginners, training exercises, and legal hunts on preserves or private land.

Examples include:

  • Airsoft Rifles & Pistols (With no magazine for projectiles)
  • Accubow & Accubow Crossbow (Great for archery practice without live arrows)

These are excellent for learning proper hunting form, sight alignment, and release mechanics, but they do not transition seamlessly to full-harvest hunting due to the lack of recoil and firing action.

The H.A.R.T Stick

For Ultimate Accessibility & Non-Hunters

The H.A.R.T Stick is a simple, non-weapon alternative that functions like a shooting stick or camera stabilizer. It allows users to mount their phone and capture H.A.R.T shots by touching the screen.

  • Can be used anywhere photography is legal.
  • Allows for long-range H.A.R.Ting when mounted to a spotting scope.
  • Ideal for beginner hunters, non-lethal hunts, and friendly competitions.

This is the best option for those who want the adventure travel experience of tracking and photographing animals without handling a firearm.

Capture Your Trophy & Track Your Progress

After each hunt, your H.A.R.T shot is verified and recorded in the H.A.R.T Hunts app. You’ll see exactly where your shot landed and earn trophies based on your accuracy and success.

The Trophy Room

Your Trophy Room is your personal showcase of hunting achievements. Every shot you take is recorded, allowing you to:

  • Track your progress over time.
  • Compare stats with other hunters.
  • Display trophies and achievements for bragging rights.

For those who want a physical representation of their success, H.A.R.T Hunts offers Skullies—small replicas of the animals you’ve successfully hunted. These unique trophies serve as a reminder of your skill and dedication.

Perfect for Beginner Hunters

If you’re new to hunting, H.A.R.T Hunts is the ideal way to get started. You’ll learn:

  • Firearm & Bow Handling – Practice shooting form, trigger control, and steady alignment.
  • Hunting Techniques – Master scouting, stalking, and positioning for the perfect shot.
  • Hunter Safety & Ethics – Understand the importance of safety, ethical hunting practices, and conservation.

Many beginner hunters may start with H.A.R.Ting before transitioning to full-harvest hunting, making this a safe and easy way to build confidence and experience.
