Strelok and Strelok Pro - Sanctioned?
- Thread starter Keith Glasscock
- Start date
Transferring all of my files now to Excel. I am making "crib sheets" for each rifle. It's just like being back in college...
I definitely need to start grabbing loads and getting them into a database or a notebook somewhere.
Looks like it's back to DOPE cards and extrapolation. <heavy sigh>

The other day I noticed something weird on my Strelok app…looked closer and realized my bullet and speed info was wrong. Checked all the guns in my app and every one looked just like this. Wrong bullet weight and wrong speed. I’ve never even reloaded a 168 grain bullet but somehow the app changed EVERY load to this and won’t accept any edits.

The Ruskie author of the program should get the ell out of his 4th world dictatorship...jmo.
Added...Russia is the largest country in the world land mass wise, behind Canada and China. You would think they would be focused on their own development and peaceful coexistence with their neighbors. It seems that they don't appreciate what they have and are living in the past regarding their border security, to the point of paranoia. Will they ever be able to shake the deprivation's of the Czarist rule, not to mention the pure brutality of the Bolscheviks and Communists? My opinion is no.

I guess it's too late for you to provide a link as evidence of this behavior?

This isn't like sending money via PP F&F to avoid PayPal fees. These suggestions are a big deal.

Purely a symbolic gesture IMO. It won't have any effect on what's going on over there and it's already on your phone there's nothing they can really do about it, you just won't get updates. In the end it will just get hosted somewhere on the internet for Android users to download and manually install (sorry iPhone users). Nothing on the internet is ever gone permanently, if it did pirated music and other things wouldn't exist.

Have had Strelok-Pro since it came out . Initially because I was using it for LR with a Mosin Custom .308 , but it picked up my data for my TR .308 , and was very happy with it . Our fearless non-Leaders never seem to know when to leave well enough alone . For anything .
In other News ; Congress is still waiting for Hunter to turn over Documents , and China Joe has the Treasury Dept. stonewalling again .

What app provides (approximate) yardages for variable scope powers for the ballistic reticles (ie Leupold Varmint and Boone and Crocket)?

I've been in panic mode since I read about the sanctions.
I've used StrelokPro for quite a few years and have gotten very comfortable using it and its many features and i'll continue to use it until I'm no longer able to.
That being said, I didn't want to be at a match the day it stops working so I entered data for the numerous rifles I have into Applied Ballistics mobile. I also started playing with it more the last few days learning the way it runs and seeing if the ballistic curves will match what I've become accustomed to in Strelok.
The good news is, yes it seems to match up well and obviously there are a number of people using AB so we know it works.
AB is a bit more "clunky" looking that Strelok however but if a guy can get past that its pretty user friendly. Taking some time and reading about the features of AB on their website helped my understanding of how it works tremendously.
I'll be using AB when or if Strelok disappears.

I have sad news. The United States government has imposed sanctions on me.

Of course, there is no evidence for this. This was done simply on the basis of assumptions. People buy the program not from me, but from the app store. I am not the owner of the app store. Anyone can buy my program in the app store. Why should I be responsible for this?
I tried to read this document, but could not understand what exactly I would be limited to? If anyone has knowledge in this area, can you explain the implications?
I don't know for sure, but I can assume that my apps will be removed from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. If this happens, I will be very sorry. Because I will lose the opportunity to implement my ideas (and yours), and you will not be able to use the result of this implementation. It is sad. I don't care about money.
I do not know how to appeal the inclusion in this list or how to get delisted. If anyone has knowledge in this area, I would be grateful for advice.
Please do not write about politics in the comments.
BTW - I have Strelok Pro and it's working fine....so far.

Thank you for the update.

I'm hoping that either he gets an exemption from the sanctions or is able to host the APK on another site. I recently dealt with another app (not shooting related) that stopped working and I uninstalled it before I realized it was gone from the app store too. Well, this kinda worried me because it was the only way I could control some very expensive lighting and it would be useless without the app. Thankfully the manufacturer put the APK on their site and I could download it from there. Stuff like this happens pretty often and there are work arounds that are legal available.
For now, I will export my years of rifle data off StrelokPro just to keep everything safe and continue to use it while learning a new program.

Russia is almost twice the area of Canada, US or China. It is the largest country, by far.
