Subscribe or grab a copy of the Oct. A major area where technology is advancing our abilities to hit targets comes in the form of software development for smartphones and tablets. There are now a growing number of ballistics apps created specifically for shooters and hunters, and you don't have to be a computer whiz to use them effectively.
Ballistics apps are designed to help shooters make calculations to hit distant targets or take down game in the field. Determining bullet drop, wind drift, impact energy and flight time in a palm-sized package, ballistics apps are making the arithmetic easier than ever. The real benefit of using a ballistic app is the convenient ability to calculate data that's tailored to your specific firearm, cartridge and environmental conditions. If you're not using ballistics apps, its time to consider pairing your hardware with the right software with our list of the best ballistics apps available now:.
With different reticles supported, and more being added all the time, chances are good that your reticle will be among those listed. The app illustrates the holdovers on your reticle and can also scale those holdovers to any magnification. BulletFlt L1 is the most basic of the three and provides detailed ballistic solutions out to 3, meters.
It outputs information dynamically instead of in a table format, and the app illustrates how many clicks you need to adjust given the provided range and wind speed. BulletFlt L2 adds a full calculation screen where the user can enter exact range and atmospheric details and gives the user the ability to generate a range-card and cosine-angle calculations as well as utilize GPS functionality to download local weather info.
The BulletFlt L2 app also provides impact energy, velocity and flight time. BulletFlight level M is the military version of the app, and it allows the user to calculate an actual ballistic coefficient based on bullet drop, two velocities or flight time. Bullet spin drift is included in computations, and even the Coriolis effect can be factored into the equation. The Bullet Flight apps are available on Apple and Android platforms.
The app allows the shooter to select from a large library of bullets. The user inputs the bullet and gun properties as well as atmospheric information, sight scale factors and zero shift offsets, and the Applied Ballistics calculator will provide the results. This app is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. The app can calculate for atmospheric conditions, Coriolis effect and gyroscopic spin and provides ballistic charts in which the user can compare the drop, energy and velocities of up to eight projectiles.
The Advanced Edition incorporates Bryan Litz' custom G7 ballistic coefficients, 3D trajectory imaging for visualizing bullet path in a 3D layout and an advanced wind kit to adjust for complex wind scenarios. The app provides elevation and windage output units in inches, centimeters, arcminutes, milliradians and click values. It offers corrections for pitch, yaw, atmospheric conditions, the Coriolis effect and Spin Drift. The app has information for more than pistol and rifle calibers, more than 1, projectile profiles and more than 2, factory ammo profiles.
It also offers instant reference for sighting on other Nikon riflescopes with plex, MilDot or standard crosshair reticles. The app includes a section for handloaders and allows the user to compare loads as well as create and email a field reference chart.
It also includes a section for inputting atmospheric conditions. The SpotOn app is available on Apple and Android devices. The app is able to adjust for atmospheric conditions such as temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, altitude and density of air or density altitude. Bullet Weight: [? Initial Velocity: [? Zero Range: [? Sight Height: [? Shooting Angle: [? Wind Speed: [? Wind Angle: [? Correct for Atmosphere:. Altitude: [? Temperature: [? Barometric Pressure: [?
Relative Humidity: [? Chart Range: [? Pull the stats yourself and make a custom ammo profile with ease. The app can provide accurate dope out to 3, meters with readouts in inches, centimeters, MOA, Mils, or scope clicks.
You can also input your specific weather conditions to get the most precise information. Winchester ammunition has built a solid reputation in the hunting community over the decades, and their ballistics calculator app compliments this nicely. Then, when you figure out which one is right, you can start dialing in your hunt conditions. Setting up the wind, temperature, elevation, shot and sight-in distance, and more help ensure you get the right data for your shot.
It uses the info you provided and overlays it on your choice of game silhouette and background, giving you as accurate of a readout to set up the shot for success. Price: FREE. The Shooter is simple. The screens are uncluttered and easy to decipher, even to the novice.
Shooter is available from Google Play and the Apple Store. Oh, and for those who are wondering: the four degrees of freedom are windage, range, elevation, and angle of attack. Obviously, the app with always be up-to-date with the latest offerings from Lapua, but it also has plenty of other options to choose from and you can certainly add your own if the load of your choice is not listed.
The user interface is easy to navigate and visually pleasing as well. That might seem like a silly thing to consider, but it really does make a difference. Then, it can use GPS to find the nearest location where you can purchase the ammo. The app is available from Google Play and the Apple Store. Choose from one of 2, bullets in the BallisticsARC library and pair it with the data from your specific rifle.
