Ballistic Calculators???

[gathumper]

I need some advice on purchasing a new ballistic computer. I have never used one before, and have always relied on dope charts, and other simple methods. Well I'm now shooting past the 1000 mark, and would like to see more 1st shot hits. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance for the help.

What phone or PDA do you have to run the software on?

2shots is heading in the right direction. It all depends on what devices you have at your disposal. I started with a pejas calculator on my crackberry and have recently upgraded to using "bulletflight" on an ipod. The military snipers are using the same thing which they have mounts for ipod to attach to their weapons systems. You can also punch in your numbers for the current field conditions at jbm ballistics and print out a range chart. With todays new devices there are plenty of choices. I would make sure it's current and using the g7 drag models. I say this because the older pejas system I was working with was based on g1 which uses flatbase spitzer designed bullets as a working system. (i started missing at longer ranges on first round shots because of this) HTH and good luck.

IMO, an ipod, iphone or ipad with the JBM software is the way to go. I sure wish they'd release it for android.
