is there an app for a shooters log book , i got the strelok app for ballistics and it works pretty well, i also have an app for wind directions and weather info, i was wondering if there was an app or software for a log book.
 
No experience with it but there is iDatabook out there. I think LonewolfUSMC has been using it and he might have something on his site with it or a review of it.
 
iDatabook sucks because it's known to wipe all of your data for whatever reason.

You can download Ballistic for iPhone or iPad and it will suit your needs.

on the strelok it asks for scope height, not sure if thats just the height of the rings or i actually have to measue the center of the scope and the reciever
 
Ballistic AE has a range log book as well as load data. It is a great app and use it extensively but prefer to use a ring bound log book at the range.
 
Been using Strelok on my Android S3,for a ballistic calculator app,it has been pretty good and extremely close in most situations.

I still write every thing down in my Impact Data book though. Good old pen and paper.

for android:
ballistics: shooter, strelok (sterlok+, strelok pro), bulletflight (3 versions), applied ballistics
shoot evaluation (not really a log): target calculator
 
The apps will get you close but IMHO should not replace hand written data in log books.

I was thinking of writing an app that was more range card-ish than what's out there. But it's hard to beat paper!
 
I use shooter on my android phone. It can gather atmospheric data and it can link with a kestrel. It also has an option to save previous data you used, I haven't used that function so I'm not sure if it's just the last session or multiple. I use the app and record in a data book from impact. IIRC shooter costs $10 in the app store.
 
I was using Strelok but his calcs only use G1 ballistic coeficient.
I switched over to Shooter. I costs $10 but has either G1 or G7 data for the VLD bullets, plus it will pull in weather data automatically.
So far I like it.
