What Ballistic Software ?
My iPhone has 2 possible apps to process ballistic information. Knight's "Bulletflight" or "Ballistic" by Jonathan Zdziarski. Ballistic seems to be more popular but Bulletflight may be better known.
Does anyone have experience with these? Which one would you choose and why?
Thanx guys.
Cost/reliability factors were may concern
I had researched both the Horace and the Exbal. The problem for me with the Horace stuff is that every shooting school Ive attended " Long Range" Something Horace has broke, either a scope, or a program, or a cosine indicator.
That concerns me. I looked at the Exbal and almost purchased it, but talked with a fella who was in on the design of the Bullet Flight. He is a ballistition? for Berger bullets and has co written several of the programs on the market. He has also authored some high end external ballistic's books currently on the market.
The program Bullet Flight came up and he told me that it was a top contender, that he had been consulted to veryify the data and that it was very very good. "He also has his own program on the market".MOBALLE which I really liked, but sent back because I broke it somehow.
I don't know which one is better, like Humpolot mentioned 1.5 MOA at 2300 plus yards is pretty dam good at that distance. Stupid expensive doesn't work for me, I don't have that kind of money to blow.
I have to believe that COULD be a ranging issue, or any other external factor the shooter has to input from external hardware. It's all about the math, 1/2 MOA at 1000 is pretty dam good math in my mind especially after you consider that we the shooter are factoring in the other info IE air density, altitude, wind direction X3 spin drift, G1/G7.
For 30.00 for Bullet Flight 3, and 199.00 for the itouch 16GB, so far I feel like I did ok. Time will be the real test of this equipment for me.
Im glad everybody like their specific programs. Im looking forward to shooting with others to learn about their ballistic programs in the future.

Jackson Rifle's XLS w/Pejsa formulas
Any software based on Pejsa's formulas are spot on IMO. I have been lazy and just use the Jackson Rifle's spread sheet for most of my range work and it does work for range work. You could load it on a PDA or laptop with your fixed parameters and change the environmental parameters as needed at the range. Very low cost in software as in free.
