I am new to this forum and need some assistance.

I just purchased a kestral 4500 with bluetooth. Which app for my Iphone 5 would you recommend for making "real world" shots while hunting? My goal is to download all my environmental information into my phone via bluetooth to obtain a quick, yet accurate firing solution on large and medium size game at extended ranges. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.!!!!!



Also, FYI: I am hunting with a 7mm rem mag, 168gr berger hybrids, 3080FPS, Nightforce 4.5-22X56 NPR1
 
iPhone's do not work with the kestral. Your going to have to enter the weather parameters manually. Ios does not allow data transfer over bluetooth.
For apps I like shooter, Ballistics AE and Applied Ballistics. It just depends on how much your willing to spend.

well that sucks!!:mad::mad: well i guess my next question is how long does it take to manually enter all my environmental conditions manually? and which App is the quickest while remainig accurate?

thanks
 
Maybe a minute to enter the conditions. As for speed they're all fairly fast. I primarily use shooter with great success. I'll be switching at least experimenting with Applied Ballistics which has just recently become available for Iphone.
 
thanks for the quick reply, is there any advantages to to one app over the other from the ones you have used?

thx
The thing about ISnipe is they broke it down to four things- bullet, rifle, range, atmosphere. SIMPLE and you can just switch out bullets or whatever. It is simple
