Long Range Ballistics Apps

Recommended Posts

I've got an Android phone, and I have Shooting Solution (the paid version, which allows me to save various ammo profiles).

 

I've been quite happy with it.  It has plenty of ammo profiles already loaded, and you can add and save custom profiles.  I have loaded all the data I can find for ammo I use, like in my screenshot, that is the product code for a specific type of .17HMR I have.   I have not used other apps, so it may be rather basic, but for a beginner, it has helped me out.

 

There is a free version you can try before you get the pro version.  If I remember correctly, you only can save one custom profile with it.

Thread drift here... But always bugged me. Regarding laser bore sights. Sine we all know a rifle bullet is actually RISING as it leaves barrel... And then will drop.....(hence ballistic math for hitting a target). How can a laser bore sight work correctly? The laser can't rise and fall...

As is so often the case, it depends on your frame of reference. A bullet NEVER rises, relative to the axis of the bore. It is dropping from the instant it leaves the muzzle. It will often rise, initially, relative to the ground, because the muzzle is angled upward to allow for bullet drop.

This.  I was just about to comment on that.  This is the best picture I could find to describe/support what you're describing.

BRyan litz's applied ballistics app. Look no further.

I used this on my Android device.  Took it with me to BHTC Beginner course and did extremely well.  I've since sold my Galaxy S5 and am back with an iPhone 6.  While they do offer Litz's program for iOS, I had previously purchased Ballistic AE and it works extremely well.  Either would be a great choice.
