[QUOTE="WiscGunner, post: 1518464, member: 97288"] I highly recommend BallisticARC for a simple and VERY effective app to use, especially for beginners. The built in Google Earth mapping is great for hunting and ranging targets if you don't have a Laser Rangefinder yet. The App does not require crazy inputs and variable that really are unnecessary inside 1000 yards. The User Interface is very clear and easy to understand. The Bullet library is decent and easy to add custom bullet data if not in the library. The Dope charts have an export button to store in your photo library on your phone or print at OfficeDepot for laminated dope cards for when batteries inevitably go dead at the wrong time. Easily pairs with a Kestrel wind meter if you have one but I highly recommend the WeatherFlow wind meter as it is a fraction of the price and collects all the same atmospherics such as wind, temp, DA, humidity. When starting, it is important to get solid data as a base. Accurate scope height measurement over bore, barrel length, twist rate, etc entered into the app. Next Get a solid 100yard...actual yardage is not important as long as it is accurate. My range is 95yrds. Third - get an accurate bullet velocity if you have access to a LabRadar or Magnetospeed (do not bother with any other chronograph). 4th - Shoot at distance using the recommended adjustments in the app and measure the difference from point of aim. Continue to adjust the POI to POA with your turrets. Go back into the app and adjust the BC under your bullet parameters until the recommended adjustments match up with what you actually needed to dial to get the POI to match the POA. Now you are ready to start learning. Buy or load a 1000 rounds and run to the range any day their is bad weather and learn from all of your wind guesses. In between range days study the extensive amount of information available on different longrange podcast, and forums. If you have a local PRS club match in your area I would HIGHLY recommend joining it. You will learn very fast as it is a create training environment and full of helpful knowledgeable people eager to assist. Good luck, have fun and be safe. [/QUOTE]
