Plug the mic into slot A. Position the mic in line with and pointing at the muzzle. Distance will depend on what you are shooting. For a pellet rifle, I put it within 2". For non-suppressed centerfire, I verified it worked 24" away. Would probably work farther but don't see need for that...
I'm enjoying retirement and still doing some work in ballstics but try, real hard, not to step on the toes of those that run my old program. They deserve nothing but guidance and support. Besides, they are pretty smart and have made great changes.
I'm of the camp that "If the guy that...
The Oehler '89 software has been modified to allow manual input of muzzle velocity. The update was released yesterday.
SKYSCREENS no longer necessary (will still work with them, though).
What does that mean?
Alignment issues are over.
Don't have to go in front of the firing line to setup...
Shot to shot drag variability was being discussed by serious LR shooters many years ago. I think Bryan Litz even mentions it in the 2nd edition of Applied Ballistics for Long-Range Shooting (Copyright 2011).
The reason very few paid attention was (my opinion) the difficulty in measuring it...
I was intrigued by the FX, particularly the claimed ability to read to 300 yds. I emailed the company, called the company, etc. Couldn't get a response.
A friend had an associate shooter that bought one. He asked my friend to test it beside his Oehler '89 and his Garmins.
Looks like it...
The latest update to the Hornady 4DOF program includes reporting time of flight to 5 decimal places.
If you have an '89 (or other way to measure time of flight), you can adjust the AFF in the program to make the prediction a best fit to your measured time of flight.
Time of flight is not...
With the 35P you have the inconvenience of having to setup skyscreens. However, you have the following advantages:
1 - You know exactly where the velocity measurement was made - Easy to get true MV.
2 - You control the accuracy of the system - Want better data, use longer screen spacing (but...
They have an ios app update available on Testflight. I've heard it should be in the app store soon. It gives a color representation for number of detections (quality of reading) and makes export easier. Also changed display to read in whole numbers instead of .x
I've recently heard from another purchaser of an '89 system. I know the first batch was sold out so looks like they are now shipping again.
There is lots to be learned from this technology and I encourage any users that might have questions to reach out to me if you have questions about setup...
Using an '89 to measure Launch Dynamics? Something I'd not thought about doing. It will be interesting to follow your results.
I've said it before, the '89 will provide some answers but using it will probably create more questions.
Thanks for sharing your test results.
Received from the Bulletseeker people:
I have good news….. the iOS app is live on the APP store with APPLE 🥳
So we are celebrating and offering 100€ off until October 31 🎃
Detail on the website and Facebook.
Code: APPLE100
That is great to hear, Tim. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I've long believed in the technology.
During the early testing, I once loaded a bunch of bullets backwards (to have as much drag as possible) and measured the BC at 500-without sighting rifle in, I just used holds. About a...
The BC is calculated from: Air density (from atmospherics you input - including wind), velocity - measured, TOF - measured and distance (from your input).
The variables are in the settings. You input atmospherics, screen spacing and distance to target. After shooting you can change those variables and replay the test. I'll send you my email address in a PM.
One of the best things about this system is the ability to shoot once and analyze variables later. Shoot the test once then change whatever variable you are interested in and replay the test.
Good to hear. I'm looking forward to the things that will be learned as this capability is picked up by more shooters. We would all like to have a radar capable of tracking bullets deep into subsonic. This is the next best thing. I've used it side by side with long range radar and they gave...
I heard an Oehler '89 was at the KO1M match and that people shot over it to get data to use.
If anyone knows, did the data match up with shooting the match? I know my experience has been the data is spot on but it would be interesting to know the experiences of others.
At White_Shark, sorry...
Whatsupdoc said: Dont know how accurate the results are it depends on how accurate the Labradar numbers are.
The LabRadar machines have shown to be capable of giving very good numbers. If I run two and get the same (or very close) numbers, I trust them. I've had issues with muzzle blast or...
