Steve thanks have you been using this program yourself?

Anyone using Strelok. Ballistic calculator

 

[Steve Blair]

Yes, it works well. Both this app and "Shooter" use Bryan Litz's solver. AB's app has a large reticle library. Either one will perform more ballistics calculations than you are likely to need. My use is really simple. It is a "cheat sheet" in case I forget to print one for my clipboard at matches.

 

[JohnnyJohnson]

Thanks Steve $29 seems pretty reasonable.

You really need a weather like a Kestrel 4000 or better to get the most/best out of any ballistic software.

I have the S 4 and shooters, the S 4 updates the current
weather into the program.

Well how often does the S4 update the weather, a Kestrel does it as it happens

 

[JohnnyJohnson]

I'm not how sure the frequency of the programed update but you can manually do it by hitting the refresh on the weather app. But there is no doubt that a Kestrel would give you much more accurate data. The problem being the weather station could be blocks or miles from your real location.

If you want to play with a free one, I've used 'STRELOK' since he developed for Palm Smartphones. He has a variety of reticles including the Vortex MRAD for my 6-24 which makes the graphic display very easy to work with. He doesn't have coriolos corrections, GPS inputs but no obnoxious adds either for his 'PRO' version ($5).

Well it appears that it updates on the hour,Here in Kingman AZ .
So for any serious shooting a Kestrel will be needed.
