Factory Ammo Shooters
Factory ammo comparison with target photos, group size, velocity, and qualification history tied to the rifle.

Charter Questions
The Charter offer is simple: the first 500 paid members lock the lower launch prices for life, while they stay subscribed.
Who gets a Charter number?
The first 500 paid Qual8 members. Free Marksman accounts do not reserve a Charter slot until they upgrade to a paid plan.
Is this tied to my shooter number?
No. Shooter numbers are account identifiers. Charter numbers are separate and assigned only to the paid launch cohort.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Start with Premium if one active rifle is the right fit, then move to Elite when you want Qual8 covering every rifle in the collection. Charter pricing stays available while your paid subscription remains active.
What happens after 500?
The Charter section comes down and new paid members use standard public pricing: $49.99, $99.99, and $199.99 per year.
