Technology has changed tremendously in hunting and long-range shooting over the last decade. What used to require multiple tools, handwritten notes, and a lot of guesswork can now happen almost instantly.
A good laser rangefinder is still one of the most important pieces of gear you can carry, but today's connected devices can do much more than tell you how far away something is.
When you combine the Horus HoVR® 2.0 BT Laser Rangefinder with the Horus Ballistics App and onX Hunt, you create a workflow that helps you range targets, calculate firing solutions, and mark locations all from your phone.
Whether you're a dedicated long-range shooter, a backcountry hunter, or just getting started, this integration makes it easier to range, mark and track targets or game.
Start With Accurate Range Data
Every confident shot starts with knowing the distance.
If you've spent any time shooting beyond a few hundred yards, you already know that guessing isn't an option. Small errors in range estimation can lead to big misses downrange.
That's where the Horus HoVR® 2.0 BT Laser Rangefinder comes in.
The HoVR® 2.0 Laser Rangefinder is a Bluetooth®-enabled rangefinder that provides accurate distance and inclination measurements out to 2,000 yards. More importantly, it doesn't stop at giving you a number. It sends that information directly to the Horus Ballistics App, eliminating the need to manually enter data while you're trying to stay focused on the target.

The Horus Ballistics App: The Hub of the System
Once the rangefinder gathers and sends your range data, the Horus Ballistics App takes charge.
The app uses your selected rifle profile, environmental conditions, and target distance to generate a firing solution. Instead of doing calculations yourself or entering range information by hand, the app does the work for you in a split second.
For long-range shooters, that means less time looking at screens and more time behind the rifle.
One of the most useful features goes beyond ballistics.
The app can also send target locations directly to onX Hunt with the single tap of a button.
Download the app and start getting ballistics data easier than ever before.

Why onX Hunt Matters
Most hunters already know the value of onX Hunt.
It's one of the most popular mapping tools available, helping hunters navigate unfamiliar ground, identify property boundaries, save waypoints, and plan hunts more effectively.
The integration with the Horus Ballistics App takes that efficiency a step further.
Horus Vision is one of a few brands that can integrate directly into the onX Hunt App for ease of use and simplifying your workflow before taking a shot.
Instead of zooming in and out on the map, manually dropping pins or trying to remember where an animal was standing, you can send a ranged location directly from your rangefinder and the Horus Ballistics App to onX Hunt and instantly create a waypoint to reference.
This can save you time, steps, and frustration when hunting in vast or rugged terrain.

How It Works
The integration process is simple.
Step 1: Range Your Target
Use the HoVR® 2.0 BT Laser Rangefinder to range your target.
The rangefinder measures the distance and sends the information directly to the Horus Ballistics App when connected via Bluetooth®.
No writing down numbers. No switching between devices. Just range and go.
Step 2: Tap "Send to onX"
Inside the Horus Ballistics App, tap the “Send to onX” button.
That's it.
The app takes the location information associated with that ranged target and sends it directly to your onX Hunt App.
Step 3: View Your Waypoint
The onX Hunt App will open once the waypoint is sent and you'll see the waypoint already placed on the map.
Now you can navigate to it, save it, rename it, or use it as part of your hunt planning.
The entire process takes only a few seconds.
Real-World Benefits in the Field
The value of this integration becomes clear when you're actually using it.
Imagine spotting a buck across a canyon. You range the animal, check your firing solution, and create a waypoint at the same time. If you need to make a stalk, you already know exactly where you saw it.
Or maybe you're scouting before the season and notice a bedding area or a heavily used game trail. Instead of trying to estimate its location later, you can range it and immediately save a waypoint for future reference.
After a shot, having an accurate waypoint can also help you navigate to the location where the animal was standing, making recovery more efficient.
These are small advantages individually, but they add up quickly over the course of a season.
Less Time Managing Gear, More Time Hunting
The best technology doesn't make things more complicated, it simplifies them.
That's what makes the combination of the Horus HoVR® 2.0 BT Laser Rangefinder, Horus Ballistics App, and onX Hunt so useful. Each piece does its job, and together they create a simple workflow that helps you move from ranging a target to marking its location in just a few taps.
For hunters, it's an easier way to scout, track, and recover game. For long-range shooters, it's a faster path from target acquisition to a firing solution. And for anyone who spends time in the field, it's one more way to stay organized and make better decisions when opportunities present themselves.
Because when the moment comes, the last thing you want to worry about is entering data into another app. You want to focus on the shot, the hunt, and the experience.
This shooting system helps you do just that.
