Hi Guys, I'm using shooter, just getting into how it all works.
Once you have a firearm & load in there, and shoot out to 500 yards or whatever & get real data, what is the best way to fine tune the program?
Adjust the velocity, the bc, or is there another way to make it all line up?
Thanks,
On the "Table" results page for your load, menu top right has a "Velocity Calibration" entry. Tap that, it lets you enter a series of distances and actual adjustments for each, it'll calculate a best-fit velocity for you from that.
Thanks for that, been using Shooter for a couple of years now and didn't even know that option was there.Quote:

When I first downloaded shooter I could hold the phone on the barrel and it would be able to read the angle. That part no longer works but I think it's iphone4 issues rather than the program. Pisses me off.
It should still he there its just changed place. It did it for me with the samsung s3 after an update and it changed the options and where they were located. Took me a while to find it.Quote:

I've tried everything bar chucking it out the window and upgrading.
What velocity would you chuck it at and how much drop per yard? Have you got your phones bc from the manufacturers specs? :D
The gps atmospheric conditions is just as bad as the weather forecast for accuracy.
Ok. I asumed it would be a live update from nearest station. All good.Quote:
