The Shooting Skills Diagnostic Inventory (SSDI) is a free, research-informed assessment that helps shooters identify the specific skills holding back their performance. It covers precision rifle, practical rifle, pistol, clay shooting, and archery. The SSDI measures areas like mental game, match preparation, fundamentals, and training habits, then generates a coaching profile from your scored data using AI.
You select your shooting disciplines, then respond to a series of diagnostic items rated on a 1-5 scale. The system calculates domain scores, detects performance patterns using diagnostic flags, and sends everything to an AI engine that generates a coaching report based on your results.
Five disciplines: Precision Rifle (benchrest, F-class, long-range), Practical Rifle (PRS, NRL22, 2-gun), Pistol (bullseye, USPSA, IPSC, IDPA), Clay Shooting (trap, skeet, sporting clays), and Archery (compound bow, recurve, barebow, 3D archery, field archery, covering NFAA and World Archery formats).
About 10 minutes for a single discipline, longer if you select multiple. Each discipline has 10–15 items. The AI coaching report generates in under a minute after you finish.

Yes. Beginners tend to get the most out of it. The SSDI surfaces gaps that aren't obvious without structured feedback.
The profile is generated from your scored domain data and diagnostic flags. It reflects what your responses indicate, not a generic template. Accuracy depends on honest self-assessment.
