ProShot
Can I use ProShot to scare away garden pests like rabbits and groundhogs without actually hunting them?
Yes, absolutely. ProShot is designed for non-lethal pest management by playing realistic predator and distress sounds. Many gardeners use it to gently encourage animals to leave the area by making it seem like a predator is nearby, without any intention of hunting.
How does the playlist builder work, and can I set it to run on a timer?
The playlist builder lets you arrange different sounds, such as distress calls and silence, in a custom sequence that sounds more natural than a loop. You can set each sound's duration and then start or stop the entire playlist manually, but it does not include a built-in timer for automatic scheduling.
Why is my ProShot app not making any sound when I try to play a call?
First, check that your phone's volume is turned up and not on silent or vibrate mode. If you're using an external speaker, ensure it's properly paired via Bluetooth and that the app's audio output is not being routed to a different device, like headphones.
The sounds in ProShot keep cutting out or stuttering during playback. How can I fix this?
This usually happens if your phone's battery saver mode is killing background processes or if you have too many apps open. Try closing other apps, disabling battery optimization for ProShot in your phone's settings, and restarting the app for smoother playback.
How does ProShot compare to the iHunt app for scaring off garden pests?
ProShot is much more focused on ease of use with a clean interface and a built-in playlist builder, making it ideal for non-hunters like gardeners. iHunt offers a wider variety of calls but has a more complex setup and less intuitive controls, so ProShot is better if you want a simple, set-and-forget solution.
