    Desert Tech TRASOL Official Thread

    Hello Raptor005, which version of Trasol? When you say "sync", are you using the built in sync mechanism (icon at bottom right) or are you copying the xml files to all your devices manually? I cannot get the "sync" option to do anything. I have an account, it can login, but it just says...

    Sell Me: $700 Kestrel 5700 w/AB vs $90 WeatherFlow?

    I'm sure if went for 1000 yards instead, I would have missed by 100 inches or so.. It's that extra 20 yards that's worth another $600. I'll shoot less and save up for the kestrel, because that makes sense to me.......not.

    Sell Me: $700 Kestrel 5700 w/AB vs $90 WeatherFlow?

    huh... guess I got lucky with my Strelok and weatherflow .....I got a first round ,un-trued hit (with many follow up hits) at 980 yards on a 12 x 12 plate with my 26" 308 shooting 178 Amax from hornady brass. Man, I didn't realize how lucky I was. I better run out and get a Kestrel now. ;)

    Rifle Scopes UPS will not ship a scope

    They started to refuse me shipping a scope too.. I said, "Oh wait, you think I meant for a gun, I meant a telescope" and they shipped it.

    Yes, I Will Spend Hundreds of Dollars on a Press that Only Does One (maybe two) Thing Well

    I'll probably get laughed out of here, but I have my press set up to do autopriming, primer colllection on deprime/resize, autoeject on operation. I think I have about $80 and maybe 6-8 hours in it. Let me know if the video link doesn't work. I thought it might give someone some ideas. I...

    Strelok Pro zeroing altitude

    Mine only gives Temperature, Humidity, Powder Temp and Pressure (which would be the altitude but as in Station Pressure). Hope that helps.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS specific questions

    I have the 12x, love it. Dropped my rifle with it once directly on the elevation turret about a year ago. It still tracks perfect and I was making 1000 yard hits with it at Hawks Ridge just this week.

    BallisticArc MV Variations

    tnc, thanks for your reply. I do have the meter and have been testing with DA and T/H/P. Still the issue I have is that if I input my MV taken at 36 degrees farenheit (when I settled on the load after development), the MV for 36d is 2602 fps... if I use that MV and try to use BA in 80 degree...

    BallisticArc MV Variations

    So, my stupid question: Preface: I use Shooter, Strelok, Trasol, Hornady and Ballistic Arc. I'm fairly familiar with all of them. I'm not asking which is best or better. I'm asking a specific question about BallisticArc. How do faithful users of BA account for MV variations as I've outlined...

    Target Sizes at PRS or other precision matches

    echo6tango, i've been evaluating quite a few apps over the years, strelok pro, shooter, trasol, ballistic arc, (there a few more) and all give me my holds/wind just fine, which one works best for you at the matches you attend? as far as useability : Do you set up targets ahead of time in the app...

    Target Sizes at PRS or other precision matches

    I notice as I read AAR's from matches or watch videos of matches, the description of the particular target on that particular stage will be IPSC or IPSC 66% etc.... I know that at some stages at some matches you may have to range your targets with your reticle. Obviously you need to know the...

    Bipod for prs or other matches

    Fantastic info. Thanks for the thoughtful response. Yes, I'm gearing up and trying many items at my range to see how well they work for me, of course I guess I won't know for sure until the match how my gear works out. Thanks again for the info.

    Bipod for prs or other matches

    Along the same lines as "how long are your bipod legs?", what about bipod feet; cleats/spikes vs rubber ? For competition/matches? What do the match veterans use and why?

    Bipod for prs or other matches

    What length legs do you veteran match goers recommend for your bipod? There are so many possible positions in a match, I'm trying to gear up for my first prs match. Have an Atlas currently with the shorter legs. Will those be good/long enough or do any of you find you wish you had shorter or...

    Mammoth Challenge AAR

    My partner and I are planning on the "regular division" as a taste to the match as a whole. I'm older (partner is too). Not sure we want to do the "camping" part. So my question is for a day pack, I have the following items in mind to have with me on a daily basis: On Person: Small chest pouch...
