The strelok app. has really helped me see the effects of wind bullet weight and distance. When its hard to find a place to practice at 400-600 yards this app. Made it happen. What other good apps are out there?

Kirk. I completely agree, but the apps are a very good starting point and a little real world feed back makes them better. I used bullet drop to get a good starting point for shooting 600 yard matches. It was within 0.5 MOA at 600 yards. A little reverse lookup to adjust velocity in app and it was nuts on elevation when I shot my first 1,000 yd match.Kirk Smith (ksmirk) said:I like the apps but real world shooting gets you the best results not to mention builds a little confidence BUT with the cost of bullets, powder and all the other roll your own not to mention everyone is so damn busy the apps are better then nothing.

I forgot/left dope card in truck during deer season. It was nice to be able to quickly download app for iPhone and input ballistics data from memory. Crappy that I never got shot closer than 500 yds to meat bag. I'm confident in shooting 600 yds prone with good data. Not that sporty from 500 yds in tower blind with cross wind. 375 yds is the farthest I've whacked Bambi.Kirk Smith (ksmirk) said:Oh I'm not knocking them by any means! they are a hell of a good starting point and the ones I've seen here in the near past are pretty dang close. Just remembering the days we didn't have these cool little contraptions Later,
