Shooter (Ballistic Calculator) for Positive User Reviews
✓ ShooterUntil apple allows full access to the iPhones Bluetooth stack Shooter is only as good as other well known ballistic apps for iOS. If access is granted and kestrels services become operational, I believe shooter on iPhone will rival all but the most expensive PDA based Ballistic programs..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Distance step adjustabilityOverall great app! I been using this app for quite a long time without a problem. Somehow the newer version doesn’t not feature the same adjustments as previous versions. Ie the ability to set the distance increments finer for accurate compensation. IMHO a indispensable feature for the app. Please consider adding this back into the app..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Shooter (Ballistic App)This is a good, well functioning application, just not the one I wanted & thought I was paying for. It became obvious when I tried to add calibers and there was no such capabilities. Given the opportunity to cancel the purchase of “Shooter”, and then to purchaseShooter AE”. That is exactly what I would do, given that chance. Once again, very good app, just not precisely what I wanted for my use. Dan G Southwest Oklahoma.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Great AppUser friendly and contains all the essentials. Great value for money..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Very SolidHaving bought most of the ballistic apps, this is the best I have used. While it takes a bit to understand how it works, it gives alot of capabilities other Ballistic apps lack. As a 1000 yard competitive shooter, this app has value..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Worth itGreat features. The free programs just weren't up to the task. In particular, I wanted to set the rifle zero in one fixed atmosphere, then carry the rifle into another. The free programs won't do this. It will also adjust the muzzle velocity to get the best fit to actual range experience. Now, if it would also make a best fit based on varying the ballistic coefficient....Version: 1.2.5
✓ Overall goodUser friendly, but it does need to have the ability to calculate a rifles zero with a known point of impact at a known range... Say you hit 3.5" high at 500 yards.... At what distance is the rifle zeroed?? The nightforce exbal program has this and i use it all the time. Thanks, keep the updates coming.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Needs to be updated for iOS 8.App works fine. Bullet library needs updating. Still no Hornady ELD’s in .224 and .308 nor Nosler RDF bullets. Possibly others - These are just the ones I know about..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Great AppAfter reading how stupid the negative reviews are about this app I felt the need to wade in here. I teach long range shooting classes and have access to many different apps to help my students hit beyond 1000 yards. For a quick and dirty solution I always end up using Shooter. If we want more precision we'll use Field Firing Solutions which costs hundreds of dollars and requires more power than an iPhone is capable of. It is important to remember all of the app calculators are doing the same thing in the background. Price and usability are the only deciding factors and Shooter has that. You can be very accurate out to 1500 yards with this app..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Shooter crashI am apple version 6.1.3 and since the latest app update Shooter crashes every time I try to edit the ammo. The program has been working great since I first bought the program now it crashes..Version: 1.2.7
✓ New User CommentsAppear to have to re-enter UID, PW and Email everytime you want to sync. Should remember or have option to do so. Output seems to be only in MOA or Mils even though MOA per click is entered. Must be a setting somewhere that is not obvious. Seems to have all the bells and whistles needed once I get the data loaded. One purchase works on both the iphone and ipad even though iTunes leads you to believe otherwise..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Definitely Worth ItI’ve been long range shooting for only about a year & a half now, but in that time I’ve probably put in over 200hrs of classroom time and over 1k rounds of field time. Just learning to call wind, changing my mind about things, zeroing & trueing multiple different rifles… I’ve used about ten different ballistic calculators. I’ll say this: if you’re sticking to a max time of flight that’s about 1.3s then look no further. If you’re really going out there at 1500yds and beyond, the Hornady 4DOF app is actually really good at predicting hits well past 1k yards. But it’s way more labor intensive with the data inputs; you need to be doing that correctly. And it can be more frustrating than this app when shooting at 800yds or less. The reason I prefer the Shooter app for anything less than extreme ranges (which should catch about 99% of guys shooting rifles) is because it’s super accurate & super simple. You open it then type in the distance, temp & elevation, make a wind call, and bam you’re on target. It gives you the firing solution in a super clean format without adding more decimal places; just the numbers you need to dial. It doesn’t go crazy with coriolis or spin drift or aerodynamic jump…all of which occur, but in something like a Cd vs Mach (point mass solver) any error in inputs while setting up the rifle can lead to rather large errors in the firing solution. As with any app, make sure you have a true zero using ten shots. That’ll give you the true center of your cone of fire. 3-5 shots aren’t enough and will make you think you have a “wandering zero”. Then shoot out at distance, say 6-800yds, 10 shots again, looking at the height of the group versus your calculator. If you have a good average velocity measured by a chronograph, I’ve rarely seen the need to true by changing either MV or BC. But for shorter ranges (given the small amount of shots recorded over a chronograph, the inaccuracy of photocell chronos, etc) I prefer tweaking the MV by 10-20fps to true. After that, if you’re good at judging both wind speed & direction then you’ll find this app to be incredibly accurate for minimal effort on your part. Haven’t found any other calculator that’s as accurate or easy to true up a rifle with at non-extreme ranges..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Always worksI have had this app for at least five years. I have seen my buddies with some others an we have seen different numbers generated but mine always works bang on. That's what counts at the end of the day.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Great AppThis is a great app that has a lot of great features and seems to accurately calculate ballistics in an easy to use format. I have only two real complaints. The first being that I would like to see initial bullet velocities shown in the standard ammunition library. For entry level shooters or hunters who don't have a chronograph, we're left searching the internet. The other complaint is that the distance a gun is sighted in is notated on the bullet library, not the gun library. As an owner of several .223 and .308 rifles, it is a huge pain to have the same cartridges listed for each separate gun. It would be much easier to list multiple guns and have a consistent cartridge library..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Shooter is a great appJust wish they would update there bullet library!.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Simply the best!Calculated values confirmed in the field for 7.62 NATO (Siera 155 #2156) and 5.56 NATO (60 Vmax). No more computer runs and spreadsheet calcs to include Coriolis effects, look angle, and lead values needed to create ballistics cards. Shooter saves hours of time. Best money I ever spent for a ballistics calculator. If you shoot a precision rifle you need this app. Confirmed.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Great AppI've been using the App for over a year now and it works great! Plug in your load info and you're in business. Calculates wind with an easy to use pointer in the field. I have had no glitches or problems with the app and can highly recommend! Update Still working great after 3 phones and 5 years..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Ios8 updateSean: thank you for the quick turnaround updating the version for ios8! I now have no more crashes when editing the ammo profiles. I use your app for all of my ballistic calcs from 5.56 to 50 cal. I have used the program out to 1500 yds with .338 lapua mag and it has always gotten me on target..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Worth It!This app works well. You can sync your data to an o line account. After entering all the particulars of gun and Ammo, I was able to walk the gu from 100 to 1000 yards first shot at each distance. The calculations were right on target (pun intended and literal)..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Tested it - appears to be an accurate and great appI own a firearms training company in GA that offers two Long Range Precision Rifle Course shooting out to 700 yds. We tell our students that if you depend on only one ballistics program for your predictions you are a fool. Different programs use different approaches to crunch numbers and often use different assumptions (G1 vs G7 for instance). If those assumptions are valid, the solutions will be pretty close from program to program. Where you have a large discrepancy - you need to hunt that down - it could be a typo in the BC program database that you can't fix. Thats why you should always check a new program against programs of known accuracy. Checking this program against Sierra Infinity, the online JBM calculator, and Bryan Litz's Point Mass program shows it to agree very closely with all three programs. I particularly like the fact that his database includes Bryan Litz's empirically derived ballistic coefficients. This tells me that Sean Kennedy did his homework when he built this program and it produces good numbers. My phone upgrade came up last month and I dumped my Blackberry for the Iphone in part specifically for apps like this one. This app is really going to make it much easier and quicker to get a customer on target if their primary weapon goes down and they have to go for their backup or one of our rental rifles. Great app - highly recommend it..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great ballistic software programThis is a very useful, easy to use - and more importantly accurate - ballistic program. It has the advantage of offering Bryan Litz's Ballistic Coefficients for most of the commonly available commercial bullets. Combined with the G7 formula, this app gives consistently accurate predictions of bullet drop and windage correction. The library allows you to store rifle and ammunition data for quick recall. I have this app on my iPad and iPhone, and use it frequently. It runs smoothly, and providing you enter accurate data, you will get an accurate answer. Definitely one for any serious shooter..Version: 1.2.5
✓ PerfectDon't listen to the guys above that say its a terrible app. It's awesome a lot of time was obviously put in this making it. If you know your rifle and bullets like any long range shooter should this is what your lookin for. Put me right on at 1100 yards, proof is in the puddin. So don't be discouraged by the few no nothing's up top..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Shooter ballisticsI regularily use many of the other iPod and PC ballistic programs, and although I have only had Shooter for a few days, it appears to give data which is closer to my own recorded shooting results than all my other apps. It also uses Density Altitude very effectively which is very useful. The app is really easy to use, set up and understand... basically it is excellent. Thanks...GJM.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Accurate and easyThis app is easy to understand and use. It has also proven to be accurate to distances of 1,000 yards. I live in the Rocky Mountain region where my shooting conditions often change 6,000 feet or more with wide temperature swings. When ballistic and atmospheric information is entered correctly this app provides me with the readings which are normally within 1/4 MOA of Applied Ballistics which is considerably more expensive. Downsides, after updating to IOS 8 (IPAD) velocity calibration still does not work, improvements and updates are infrequent, and the developer is slow to respond to requests for information. Developers for the two other apps I use, typically respond within 24 hours..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Windage no KphGreat app, but for some reason no Kph for wind. If you're a metric guy you only have M/S which is no help. Fix that and 5 stars for sure.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Best ballistics program for iPadI tried all the ballistic program's on the iPad and I think this is the best. Why? You can do range calculations, has a good bullet library, you customise your drop results, you can chose mil or moa ( most apps don't have a mil option) and you can sync to other devices. Would be good to able to print out your own tables thou in a format of choice, or export to excel. Save time and money and download this app first..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Perfect resource for long range shootingI've been using this app for over two years and it is fantastic. If you input correct data you get perfect results. I've gotten three of my guns out to 1200 yards with good dope from shooter. I find inputing G7 data works much better for anything out past about 600 yds. Measure your velocity, input the G7 BC and go shoot..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Works perfect, needs a major updateNeeds to be brought up to date with all of the newest bullets and powder options. Otherwise works good..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Best Ballistic CalculatorI do a lot of load development for numerous calibers for long range shooting, 1000 yd, at various locations around the Western US and found this program has all the input variables you'll need. Additionally the bullet library is quite extensive.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Great App, Must if you own a scoped rifleHas an ability to True the ballistic calculation to be spot on. It calls it Velocity Calibration. Was looking so a simple implementation of this as seen on the Magpul videos without spending hundreds on another PDA. Overall I like it a lot. It's simple and straight to the point. Like it better than Bullet Flight(cheapest edition). If you own a scoped rifle and want to shoot accurate with it, this is a must..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Great app, but need 1 data point addedGreat app worth every cent, but any chance you could add under firearm data, Elevation turret grad , please add 3/4 as a option Again great app thanks.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Great appI've used this app for over a year now and am very pleased with it. I've tried just about every ballistic program available and Shooter has the best combination of performance and usability..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Highly recommended!This is my "go-to" app for all of my rifle shooting. If you don't know how to use the app, it can be confusing- but that's cause it has so much to offer. After you download it, go to the website and learn how to fully utilize the app..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Advanced capabilities for advanced shootersWhile the app does require you to know (or estimate) some things about your rifle and ammunition to be useful, it's among the best for shooters looking to make precise shots at varying distances or under varying conditions. Looking for Bluetooth/ Kestrel support in a future release, but currently very good..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Really SolidI've tried several ballistics apps for the iPhone and believe this is the best one. Great interface and features, some other apps boast more features but in my experience don't work as well and are buggy. Logical and intuitive and accurate..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Works wellPurchased this for my iPad, was really impressed until the latest update removed the solution screen. Wish I could go back to previous version.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Killer appAs a new shooter, I was getting very close to my 12" steel targets at 560 yards within just 2 or 3 shots with the instant calcs from the app's "solution" page and plugging in my wind. I could not be happier with this app... Save for possibly a utilities section of basic converters for MOA -> Mil, etc. Even the inclusion of a basic calculator to avoid having to switch apps would be nice. Very satisfied, worth $10..Version: 1.2.0
✓ New update for iOS 8After updating to iOS 8 the app closes every time I try to edit bullet data or try to make a new bullet. PLEASE FIX ASAP! I need this app and right now I cannot use!!! Best app on the market for shooting ballistics and solutions. I would recommend this to any avid shooter as a quick and accurate tool for precise long range shooting and hunting. Only reason I don't give this review 5 stars is because the new update makes the app harder to read at a glance. There needs to be something else to help break up the columns so it's easier to read on the fly. Everything is the same now, makes it harder to read the separate lines and columns with it all looking so monotone on the page..Version: 1.2.6
✓ Best ballistic calc out thereAwesome program never go to the range without it well worth the price..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Good ballistics app for iOSA little difficult to get setup, but once you get the hang of it, great program. Really like the ability to sync data on all devices..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Great App, but needs an UPDATE!!!This is a great app, but it hasn’t been updated in over two years. At the least, the bullet library needs an update!.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Great ballistics programI have numerous ballistic calculators and this program matches them all. Very advanced when you want it to be and quick/easy when you need it to be. My new go to program..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Good AppI have used this app for a few years now and really like it. My son shoots comp sometimes and uses this app and swears by it..Version: 1.3.1
