5 Reasons You Need a ShotKam for Hunting Season


Hunting season is almost here, and whether you’re preparing for waterfowl, upland birds, or big game, having the right equipment makes all the difference. In search of the best gear, more and more hunters are adding the ShotKam Gen 4 to their essentials list. 

From auto-recording, high quality video, to real time playback, the ShotKam has become one of the most valuable tools in a hunter’s setup. Read on to see five reasons why ShotKam is the best hunting product and how to get the best deal during our Labor Day Sale.

Watch the ShotKam in the field:


Reason 1: Auto-Records with Recoil

No need to fumble with buttons or risk missing the moment. Every shot is saved automatically when the ShotKam detects recoil. This means you can focus entirely on your target while the camera takes care of the rest.

Pro tip: Because it only records when you shoot, you won’t waste time sorting through hours of irrelevant footage. You can adjust your settings for ground game or birds to get the exact recording time and video resolution you want.

Reason 2: Helps with Lead Timing

Birds rarely fly in straight lines, and judging lead on fast-moving waterfowl or upland game can be tricky. With ShotKam’s high-frame-rate slow motion, you can review exactly where your barrel was in relation to the bird at the moment of the shot, and adjust your lead for next time.

Pro tip: Open the free ShotKam app and watch your footage frame by frame. Pausing right before the trigger pull shows you whether you were ahead, behind, or right on target.

Reason 3: Review Shots in the Field

Bring your ShotKam footage into the blind or back to the truck and watch it instantly on your phone or tablet. Whether you’re checking who shot that goose or diagnosing a miss on a fast teal, real-time playback helps you adapt before the next bird arrives.

Pro tip: With built-in WiFi, the ShotKam connects directly to your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. This makes it simple to download clips while you’re in the field without any internet or cell service.

Reason 4: Train Smarter Between Hunts

Your hunting season is limited, but your improvement doesn’t have to be. Reviewing ShotKam footage after the hunt helps you spot habits you might miss in the moment, like lifting your head too soon, rushing the mount, or stopping your swing. Over time, this feedback sharpens your instincts and increases your success rate in the field.

Pro tip: Use your ShotKam during a clay target session before hunting season begins. Practicing on clays with the camera helps identify any errors so that your shots in the field feel smoother and more confident.

Reason 5: Relive and Share Your Best Hunts

Some shots are too good not to share. Whether it’s a double on late-season mallards or your child’s first harvested bird, ShotKam lets you replay those moments exactly as they happened. The slow-motion detail makes for stunning videos to show friends, post online, or keep as part of your hunting memories.

Pro tip: Saving and sharing videos is simple with the ShotKam app. You can download clips directly to your phone or tablet and then send them to friends or post online. Step-by-step instructions are available on our online Help Center
