Best Target Pools for RV Practice: What Makes a Good Photo?

Photos are not all equal.

Some photos carry more signal because they show motion, emotion, contrast, texture, sound, water, fire, people, unusual structures, or a strong environment.

Other photos are quieter and harder to access because they show less movement and sensory detail. They may look still, neutral, or ordinary.

That’s why photo selection in distant viewing practice matters.

A good target pool should have images with different amounts of information packed into each target. And a balanced selection will give viewers a fair range of signal strength and help them learn what different target types feel like.

What Makes a Good Target Photo for RV Training?

Here are the criteria that matter most:

• Real photo — not AI-generated or heavily edited.
• Enough visual information — shapes, colors, textures, movement, and other details.
• Different difficulty levels — a mix of simple and more complex objects.
• Distinctive features — stand out things, life forms, entropy rich moments.
• Variety — buildings, landscapes, objects, people, events, anomalies, and more.
• Good image quality — clear enough to see the main features.
• Different settings — indoor and outdoor, natural and man-made, crowded and empty.

A good photo does not automatically make a good target, and a large pool does not automatically make a good training pool.

Comparing Top Target Pools for Remote Viewing Practice

When you look at the leaders, the differences are easy to see.

VEREVIO

One of the top remote viewing training apps is VEREVIO. According to its website, it has more than 6,000 target photos in its database, with new targets added daily. Since the app includes several dozen trainers, this number represents the total across the trainers.

In Remote Viewing Nexus alone, there are 1,300+ target photos — multiple modality descriptors, multiple photos per target, location data, etc.

The pool is well balanced. It includes not only photos of buildings or people, but also energy-related places, paranormal targets, unusual artifacts, phenomena, events, and physical anomalies. All of the photos are real and of high quality. There is also much more information attached to each photo. Depending on the target, that can include the exact location, date, origin, environmental details, and background information about the place or event.

The pool is designed to randomly rotate through beginner, intermediate, and advanced targets, so the viewer gets a better learning experience. The targets are still blind and random, but the pool itself is balanced.

RV Tournament

RV Tournament uses a new target every day, but the total size of its target pool is not publicly stated.

There are some clues from users: one Reddit user reported working with more than 1,000 practice targets in the app, but that is a user’s personal usage count, not the size of the database. If a new, unique target has been added every day since 2019 and all previous targets remain in the pool, that would put the theoretical total at roughly 2,700–2,800 targets:

• 2019 → August 2026 ≈ 7.5 years
• 7.5 × 365 ≈ 2,740 daily targets

The target pool mainly features straightforward, everyday scenes and objects. Many of the photos are visually simple, with fewer unusual elements or strong environmental features. So, the selection can feel more ordinary.

Other Target Pools

We have looked at photos from paid target pools. There are also free options. These usually do not follow a single format for their photos, and the image quality can vary from poor to decent.

Examples of free target pools include Social RV, Natural Remote Viewing, Lyn Buchanan’s CRV Training, The Target Pool, Remote Viewing Academy, Remote Viewed, Farsight, m31.de, Focal Point, Intuitive Specialists, David Morehouse, Greater Reality, International School of Clairvoyance, and HRVG.

Besides being free, one advantage of these sources is that they can contain unusual and interesting targets, such as famous photos that are not always available for commercial use. However, there may be only a small number of these targets, sometimes fewer than 200. The descriptions are another weak point.

Focal Point, for example, is available to IRVA members and provides a more organized target-pool experience. Other sources are much more basic. David Morehouse’s target pool, for example, does not display the target images directly on the website. Instead, users are given target information and links to other resources where they can find the image or learn more about it.

Conclusion

So, if you don’t want to pay, there are plenty of free target pools to practice with. They can also offer interesting targets, but you may have to spend more time finding them.

If price isn’t a major concern and you prefer better image quality, variety, and more structured target pools, the best selection we found was in the paid apps.
