or come out to the full bore range on Saturdays on maniatutu rd. its only to 300,500,600, but still good fun and practice. and the guys incourage new members, there all great to get on with. just $5.00 per day.
pm me if your keen or want to know more.

Yeah man sounds good. I now have access to my mates farm out Maketu, can get out to 1000yards if needed. After my attempts at 750 i'll be backing off to 3-500 and get that sussed first.

Will let ya know the next time im going out there. Either that or i'll come to the full bore for a jam.

Stayed at school till the end Rushy, all play and no work mind you Got the app now and its the shit

@BRADS just a fyi, you can change the incriments to 1,5,10,25,50 if you go to settings, down to shooter, then down to the below. Default is 5 for solution and 50 for chart but can be changed which is cool.
Sorry if you knew this already

Yer mate I no that, I like 5 as when you get out there it makes it that much more accurate than say 25/50

Yeah for sure, I think I will have it on 1 when practising so its bang on but it takes ages to scroll. Have it on 5 when hunting so its a bit quicker.

You must have a very expensive rangefinder mate, 5 is all you need.

I could try but it won't be tech mate
Turn it on for your longer shots. In your example at 740 spin drift will be about 1 click, but has more affect the further out you go.
You'll find the wind dealing two you way more than spin drift

Sweet as. Cheers man.

I have every yard. then theres no guessing in between, I like to be as accurate as I can. I also just have the solution come up, instead of the whole drop chart its quicker.

spin drift will just add to your windage solution. (you can choose a setting which just factors it in automaticly) eg... right barrel twist will make the projectile drift right.

I have used shooter for 5 years and have loved it.
Until I upgraded my phone to the samsung s4 and then the hud would not click to the range increments set but stay one one yard clicks with no wheel.
I have emailed Sean 3 times about the glitch with no reply.
I talked to jennifer litz as well as they work together and she has had no joy either.
I finally had a guts full of waiting for a patch and down loaded litz's applied ballistics app
An excellent program that also uses the sensors in the phone to put in the atmopheric data eg temp station pressure and humidity which I didnt have a clue these phones could do!
Which happen to correspond very closely to my kestrel
So fuck sean kennedy and go bryan litz.
Its the best $35 I spent in along time and have already got my mates changing over as well.
I have bought both bryans books and he knows his shit so he has now got more of my loot!
My two cents anyway

Ok so I looked up spin drift and the rest.

Not to worried at this point but my brain is ok with what they say..........sore but ok. Maybe Physics at school was a good move

External ballistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shots over 500 I give it one click. It doesnt become real apparent untill you start busting over 1000 then you start getting into corilianus effect blah blah. Learn to read the wind everything else can be done on shooter.
