    For you Coldbore experts out there, I can't figure out how to find danger space on any of my tracks. I've read the manual and my A.D.D. or lack of being able to learn from a book skills are holding me back. Any help would be appreciated.
     
    “Ballistics”->”Trajectory Metrics”

    The issue is not that I can't navigate to where the data should be, its that I cannot get the fields to populate with the data. For example on the phone version I go to ballistics>tools>danger space. The message there says "There is no solution for danger space give the current zero range and/or target size". I've tried entering data for zero range and target size without success. Obviously I'm missing something here....
     
    I would love a class on Cold Bore and how to use it to it's full potential. I read the owner's manual twice... still hard to figure out some things
     
    A series of You Tube videos or Sniper's Hide videos would be sweet. Frank seems to know it well. I'd even pay for the training videos.
    Personally a class for 2 or 3 days with hands on shooting, etc.. would be sweet. Take the old laptop out and input data and get range cards go apply it then learn all the functions. I can't get pictures or even load data to save because it says I have too many similar profiles... I'm testing a new barrel, I want to see how my load performs over different temps and with more round counts down the tube
     
    DS is in my experience a little bit tricky because it depends on your ZR and object height, To get a DS solution you start with a rather long ZR, say 700 yards and a 6" object. On the other hand, the other metric Hit Threshold is much easier, no need for a long ZR.

    Trying the laptop first is a great help to understand all things going on. I did that a lot and was a wonderful learning experience.
     
    While I haven’t used all of the features of coldbore, I have found that if I do not know how to use a feature I look in the manual that is part of the desktop installation. So far I have found all the info I have needed.
