New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

You can upgrade to elite for a one time cost. The only monthly/yearly fee is if you go to professional. If you don’t want WEZ don’t go to Pro.

The Elite license is included with multiple devices such as a Garmin Tactix or Fortrax, or a Kestrel 5700X, if you buy one of those devices and sync it to AB Q you don’t have to pay anything in addition to that.

Personally, the expense of AB is worth it. Litz and crew spend an unreal amount of time to build all of these models. It’s very expensive, it’s also very worth it.

I resisted going to AB for years because of the expense. I tried all of the other apps. The apps themselves are decent, what ended up selling me on AB is the ecosystem. I don’t HAVE to have my phone, the ability to get the firing solutions on my watch, my kestrel, my WMLRF or my binoculars. That is true selling point and value to the AB system to me.
Thanks for this. I need to dig deeper. It isn't clear yet how to acquire Elite for a one-time fee.

So question for moderators and HMFWIC….

Since they are clearly our enemies and are at war with us… and not just at a low level …

Can we start calling a spade a spade?

Because the ChiComs, slopes, zips, rice balls, bad-drivers, hop-sings, Manchurian soy-suckers, fortune-cookie-Ching-Chong’s, no-tikee-no-shirtee, are clearly our enemies and deserve no quarter. Including lamponing the shit out of them like the sub-human Tieneman-square-massacring tank-pilots they are.

Can we please start using the appropriate shorthand and calling them $&@?ing Chinks… without getting a ban hammer threat?

I am, of course, certainly glad to abide by community rules and *not*’refer to them as Chinks as long as the community standard applies.

But given the current state of the world, I do ask for an official ruling from the top. And will totally abide by what is decided.

Even if does favor the commie Chinks.

New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

Absolutely. And we aren't a russian company.
Well. I will need a Strelok replacement before long, so I downloaded AB Quantum from the Apple app store - v3.4.3 build 172. Before I gripe about the free version, I'll say that I'm intrigued enough to play with this app a little in the coming weeks, but it's going to have to show me a LOT more before it replaces Strelok or even 4DOF.
  • Within minutes, I hit a hard wall as I compared its 6BR solutions to Strelok: Max range allowed for the "free" version is 875 yards. Want more? Pay up. Unlike Strelok, you don't buy this app. You rent it. By the month or by the year. Forever. I wonder if rent will increase...?
  • Want to load a scope from the library? Awesome. As long as you don't use Athlon or Vortex optics, because those aren't included. I wonder if the paid library is more complete? I mean, no Vortex? Really?
  • Want to enable spin drift, aerodynamic jump, or Coriolis? Pay up.
  • Further up in this thread, mention was made of a free trial under "Upgrade Subscription." Nope. Not in this version, that I've been able to find.
  • Limit of five rifle profiles.
As I said, I'm intrigued enough to tinker with AB Quantum a little bit more, but the "free" version has some significant basic weaknesses (especially the limited range). I do not like the idea of "renting" an application, even if software subscription is becoming a norm. From the user manual (note that the table below says a free Pro trial is available, but I haven't found it):

7PRC vs 7PRCW

Accuracy.
SD and ES
Getting good nodes.

Must be rifle and Hornady brass. Waiting for a better rifle and will get premium brass. But it seems much more tricky than say 6BR or 6GT to load.
Well crap. Just about everything is more tricky that 6BR and 6GT to load for. If that’s all you’ve experienced, you are about to find out. 6BR is the absolute easy button for loading.

I posted this before and deleted it but will repost it once again. (A short story of our "justice system").

Yes because a bunch of scum bags that lie multiple times about other things. Won’t ever lie about what the machine says
Even if the field breathalyzer is wrong. He should have had to take a breathalyzer test at the station with a calibrated machine. It should give out printed results.
Never play their monkey games or take their field breathalyzer test.
