[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 1139576, member: 7848"] The AB version is much better supported all the way thru with both personnel and data. You can go on about any forum and ask questions about it and we have people tasked specifically to provide support. This very forum has a sticky thread (AB Pro Support Thread) which has tons of info and resources on our various software products. As far as the AB data library, we have a full time ballistics lab conducting ongoing live fire to measure BC's of various bullets so the data is accurate and up-to-date. The AB version communicates with several apps and other pieces of hardware (Kestrel LiNK app, Wilcox RAPTAR LRF, and other ballistics apps). In addition to G1 and G7 BC libraries, the AB version also can use custom drag models which provide more accurate drag modeling especially thru transonic speeds. The Marine Corps recently selected the AB Kestrel as their SSBC (Scout Sniper Ballistic Computer): [url=http://www.ammoland.com/2015/07/marcorsyscom-selects-kestrel-with-applied-ballistics-to-support-usmc/#axzz3sVkd2fm4]MARCORSYSCOM Selects Kestrel with AB to Support USMC[/url] I could go on if necessary, but I think you get the point. For a while, Horus was the only ballistic solver integrated into Kestrel so it had some legs. But once we integrated AB, the whole community shifted to it because it's better. -Bryan [/QUOTE]
