Gotta love gold for free... The title is Backstory. The history, how it was put together, what inside, the code, the whys of all the things it calculates - accurately.
Pay attention to these words: "equations of motion" - they use that a lot. If I remember the number correctly they said the app uses 438 different parameters for each specifically modeled bullet. Another interesting thing is how zero angle came about. It's not a new thing but it is new to rifle shooting. Zero angle is basically a modern artillery calculator. Set it one time and as long as you enter the right environmental, including, cardinal direction, shot elevation angle and distance. The zero solution will be true anywhere in the world.
It's funny to hear these guys talk, especially about zero range vs. zero angle.
I remember myself saying the same thing - "something's wrong!" I first said it back in 1984. I zeroed my rifle perfectly before leaving Florida and went hunting in the WA Cascades. Once there I went to the range fired a group at 100 and it was WAY off. It really wasn't though. once I got back to Florida I reset the scope to the Florida adjustments and it was back to dead on.
It's nothing short of amazing what they have done with that app. Even more so: It's free gold!
