Every shot, live: RangeCast brings broadcasting to match day

The gap between the firing line and the people who care about it has always been too wide. Parents in the parking lot refreshing a results page. Teammates back home waiting for a text. A sport full of drama — ten shots, one point apart, forty-five seconds left in kneeling — and almost none of it seen live. RangeCast is our answer, and the first chapter ships today.

One click between your match and your audience

Starting today, organizations on Nexus can broadcast their matches live to their own YouTube channel — produced, branded, and driven by the same live shot data that already runs their range.

Here is the whole workflow. Connect your YouTube channel to Nexus Web once. When you schedule a broadcast, the YouTube event is created for you — visible to your community as an upcoming stream they can share and set reminders on, days before the first sighter. On match day, one click on Go Live starts everything: the stream key is created for that event, delivered straight to the production machine, and the broadcast starts itself. Nobody copies a stream key. Nobody pastes one. Nobody reads one aloud across a range.

A broadcast that knows the score

Falken OBS — our broadcast production build — arrives preconfigured with scene collections for single-lane coverage, multi-lane coverage, and finals. The overlays are not graphics somebody updates by hand. They are live surfaces connected to the match itself:

• Live targets that plot every shot as it lands, with the camera-style framing you would expect from championship coverage — a featured athlete up close, the field alongside, and automatic zoom that tightens on the group as it forms.
• Score bugs and leaderboards that update the moment a shot is scored, with the current stage and time remaining always in frame.
• Lower thirds that introduce each athlete the way they deserve — name, team, class year, and season form.
• Record alerts that build the story as it happens: when a shooter's run puts an organizational record within reach, the broadcast shows the chase — and the payoff when it falls.

Every element carries your organization's identity: your colors, your logos, your backdrops, and your sponsors. A six-athlete junior club and a national championship run the same production. That has always been the Nexus principle, and it holds on air.

Your channel. Your audience. Your program.

RangeCast streams to your organization's own YouTube channel — not ours. Every broadcast grows your subscriber list, your highlight archive, and your program's reach. The video on demand stays on your channel after the final shot, ready for recruiting, review, and the athletes' own highlight reels. Inside Nexus Web, directors get a live confidence monitor and a shareable watch link, and your public match page carries a Watch live banner the moment you are on air.

The most measurable sport nobody could watch

Marksmanship has a visibility problem, and every coach and match director knows what it costs. Programs defend their budgets to athletic departments that have never seen them compete. Recruiters evaluate shooters from spreadsheets because there is no film. Sponsors are asked to back a sport they cannot show to anyone. Junior programs grow one carpool at a time, because a young athlete cannot fall in love with a sport they have never watched. The work is world-class. The audience was never given a way in.

The irony is that no sport is better prepared for broadcast than this one. Electronic scoring targets already turn every shot into data the instant it lands — position, value, and timing, all digital, all live. Most sports need camera crews, statisticians, and a production truck to tell you what just happened. A rifle match already knows. What the sport was missing was not information. It was the production layer that turns that information into something a parent, a recruiter, an athletic director, or a future shooter can actually watch.

That is the layer RangeCast provides. We build marksmanship match management software because this sport deserves tools as disciplined as its athletes — but management was never the whole mission. The athletes putting in the work deserve an audience, and the audience deserves to see the sport the way it actually feels: shot by shot, stage by stage, with the tension intact.

Grow the audience. Grow the sport. RangeCast starts now — and this is only the first chapter.

Start broadcasting

Organization directors can connect a YouTube channel today in Nexus Web under Settings → Social accounts. Your channel needs live streaming enabled on YouTube's side — a one-time step that takes about a day to activate — and from there, your next match can be your first broadcast.

Your athletes trained for this. Now everyone gets to watch.
