Ballistics App for iPhone

Hi team,

Done some shooting on the weekend with my new drop chart that has 25yard incriments.

Was shooting out to 750 yards and found my brain hurt really bad when trying to work out what to dial if the range fell between the 25 yard incriments. Also trying to work out how much more i needed to dial at say 745 yards if im 6" low. I realise that I will need to learn all this but I have a question.

Is there an app for my iphone that will:

Take my load data and create a drop chart viewable on screen.
Let me enter an exact range and give me the come ups in moa according to pre set data based on load etc?
Enter more than one pre set.

Dont want to buy one if they dont do this :) Especially point 2

Yes I think shooter is what your after mate

This data is at 745 as your example, goes up in 5 yard increments, to as far as you want

Cheers Brads.
Had a blast yesterday, first time dialling. 400 was all good. Went out to 745 for a laugh and the first volley wasnt even on the target, didnt add windage. Got that sorted and got on the target but was struggling with the calc's as it wasnt a 25yard number.

I will give shooter a go. I suspected it was the one to get but had to make sure it was capable of entering an exact range.

Looks like the business. So I can enter that I have 1/4 MOA clicks?

Sorry I don't get your question? You can have mil/moa and yards or meters

Yes you can set your click valuation. 1/4 1/8 ect.

Just got it downloaded.......now I need to try and do some work and play with it later.......not going so well :D
(guys, i mean play with the application not my appendage! I know what some of you may have said if i didnt clear this up :D)

yeah, I was going to say shooter. (I use it) I would be keen to do some long range targets with you if your keen?
or come out to the full bore range on Saturdays on maniatutu rd. its only to 300,500,600, but still good fun and practice. and the guys incourage new members, there all great to get on with. just $5.00 per day.
pm me if your keen or want to know more.

Gibo you sound confused enough so I won't add to it except to say I use a different software and know how to use it. If you hadn't wagged school so much to go surfing you could work it out in your bonce but don't worry now as that is what the app is for.

Yeah man sounds good. I now have access to my mates farm out Maketu, can get out to 1000yards if needed. After my attempts at 750 i'll be backing off to 3-500 and get that sussed first.

Will let ya know the next time im going out there. Either that or i'll come to the full bore for a jam.

@BRADS just a fyi, you can change the incriments to 1,5,10,25,50 if you go to settings, down to shooter, then down to the below. Default is 5 for solution and 50 for chart but can be changed which is cool.
Sorry if you knew this already :D

Yer mate I no that, I like 5 as when you get out there it makes it that much more accurate than say 25/50

Yeah for sure, I think I will have it on 1 when practising so its bang on but it takes ages to scroll. Have it on 5 when hunting so its a bit quicker.

You must have a very expensive rangefinder mate, 5 is all you need.

I could try but it won't be tech mate:)
Turn it on for your longer shots. In your example at 740 spin drift will be about 1 click, but has more affect the further out you go.
You'll find the wind dealing two you way more than spin drift:)

Sweet as. Cheers man.

I have every yard. then theres no guessing in between, I like to be as accurate as I can. I also just have the solution come up, instead of the whole drop chart its quicker.

spin drift will just add to your windage solution. (you can choose a setting which just factors it in automaticly) eg... right barrel twist will make the projectile drift right.

I have used shooter for 5 years and have loved it.
Until I upgraded my phone to the samsung s4 and then the hud would not click to the range increments set but stay one one yard clicks with no wheel.
I have emailed Sean 3 times about the glitch with no reply.
I talked to jennifer litz as well as they work together and she has had no joy either.
I finally had a guts full of waiting for a patch and down loaded litz's applied ballistics app
An excellent program that also uses the sensors in the phone to put in the atmopheric data eg temp station pressure and humidity which I didnt have a clue these phones could do!
Which happen to correspond very closely to my kestrel
So fuck sean kennedy and go bryan litz.
Its the best $35 I spent in along time and have already got my mates changing over as well.
I have bought both bryans books and he knows his shit so he has now got more of my loot!
My two cents anyway

Ok so I looked up spin drift and the rest.

Not to worried at this point but my brain is ok with what they say..........sore but ok. Maybe Physics at school was a good move :D

External ballistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shots over 500 I give it one click. It doesnt become real apparent untill you start busting over 1000 then you start getting into corilianus effect blah blah. Learn to read the wind everything else can be done on shooter.

Yeah for sure. Wind is what I need to suss out :D How accurate is the wind given by shooter from the weather station?

What about Strelok, Strelok + or Pro version. Anyone using them?

Learning the wind is the true part of longrange over 1200 meters you can have up down drafts crosswinds left and right all with different speeds. If you have a range set up , I use standards with a peice of ribbon on them every 50 odd meters , real good indicator. Theres no way to read how to deal with wind its simply puting rounds down range that will learn you. Kestrels and the like are good for teaching you to predict wind speeds but obviously only give you the reading where your standing. A good spotter is awsome for picking your misses and makes life so much easier.

Practise practise practise..... im on it :D

1200 m you say ha ha I would have to dial 68 feet in elevation :D not enough clicks let alone grunt :D

Was just a random number. You get the point.

For wind find anything written by Shawn Carlock, he has some useful articles on longrangehunting.com and some back issues of NZHunter.

I downloaded the free version of strelok to get me started but haven't had chance to test it out yet. Waiting to get my loads sorted first.
