You can save a rifle, then under the "cartridge" section you can save different ammo for that rifle. No graphs for trajectory but the chart has just about all the information about the pellet's flight that ChairGun has. Very easy to use as well   Posted: Sat Dec 03, 2011 4:14 pm Mar Veteran Member Joined: 21 Sep 2007 Posts: 428 Location: Victoria, BC You have a link?   Posted: Sat Dec 03, 2011 6:38 pm domer_pyle Senior Member Joined: 17 Sep 2009 Posts: 523 I'm an idiot, forgot to even say what it is! It's called Strelok Ballistics Calculator and you can find it by google-ing that in your browser. Best part is it's free!   Posted: Sat Dec 03, 2011 8:23 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA That's pretty cool!

Canada I thought you were speaking of the Hawke Optics PC software; http://www.hawkeoptics.com/apps/chairgun-pro.html I've been playing with the ChairGun software this evening but I'll need to do some shooting tomorrow to get some real world data for it. I Googled "Strelok Ballistics Calculator" and discovered that it's specifically for the Android. Unfortunately I have an HTC phone _________________ Benjamin NP Trail (0.22) SIG Sauer X-Five Open (0.177) Marksman 1792 (0.177) Crosman 3576 (0.177) Crosman 1377 (0.177) Elite II (0.177)   Posted: Sat Dec 03, 2011 10:34 pm domer_pyle Senior Member Joined: 17 Sep 2009 Posts: 523 No, that's why I said it's like ChairGun. It's pretty cool, I've been studying the trajectories of a few of my guns a bit lately and comparing flight times of different pellets and so on. That kind sucks to hear it's Android only though, but there are a few other free ones out there if you look. If I can find the list I'll post the names of the others   Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 9:04 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Last summer I saw a guy at the range who was using one of those things (for .308) and it even factored in the coreolis effect. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 10:44 am SureShot_ca Member Joined: 23 Oct 2011 Posts: 43 Location: N.B.

A buddy of mine has done the math on his .303 rifle, printed out a small chart and taped it to the side of the rifle stock. All he needs to do is guesstimate the distance to the target/deer. _________________ Benjamin NP Trail (0.22) SIG Sauer X-Five Open (0.177) Marksman 1792 (0.177) Crosman 3576 (0.177) Crosman 1377 (0.177) Elite II (0.177)   Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 2:19 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND I tried this software on myLG Optimus/Android, it loaded and got the first screen up for settings but refused to go any further. I guess some phones dont like it? SureShot_ca HTC phones use the Android system so it may work on yours?

Al Thanks for bring up that point, Android can be loaded onto an HTC phone but right now my HTC phone actually has Windoze Phone 7 on it. _________________ Benjamin NP Trail (0.22) SIG Sauer X-Five Open (0.177) Marksman 1792 (0.177) Crosman 3576 (0.177) Crosman 1377 (0.177) Elite II (0.177)   Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 3:46 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND SureShot_ca wrote: Alstone wrote: HTC phones use the Android system so it may work on yours?

Check your version _________________ Sean   Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:52 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND domer_pyle wrote: I'm running an LG Optimus as well, what screen are you getting?

Been entering in all my rifles and toying with different ammo to see the performance differences, I'm already cutting the diets of a couple rifles, and will be doing some testing in the near future with a couple different meal plans for them.
