Long Range Shooter

The Eotvos effect is caused by the rotation of the earth but not to be confused with Coriolis effect. While Coriolis is related to the effects caused by the earth it is on a horizontal plane. Eotvos effect is a vertical change in target position that at long distances could cause a miss on a target. The fowling examples explain the Eotvos effect.

Notice that when shooting eastwards that the effect causes the impact to move up. But while shooting westwards the impact has a tendency to move down.

I am very please to welcome David and Jeremy as new members of LongRangeShooter.com.
These are to very promising young men that I am sure will secede at everything they choose to do in life. From our family to yours, we love you guys.

Leave it to Lex Talus Corporation to out do them selfs again.
Soon version 4.0 will be available to download with all the best from version 3.3 and some nice new features to make things
faster and easer for a shooting solution. One of the new features is a Rifle profile. This Rifle profile allows you to put your bullet
profile and your turret profile under your “Rifle” profile. Now you can load your Rifle profile and get your firing solution the moment you turn on your PDA. Another new feature is the wind now automatically readjusts its self when you select a target from your target list. Assuming that the wind is at the same speed and the same direction, you can pick a new target from your target list and the wind will now automatically adjust for the new target to save you a step. Another nice new feature is the Offsets Profiler. The offset profile is linked to a particular rifle (which is itself linked to a particular bullet) and provides a method to compensate for a shift in bullet point of impact due to 1) a change of ammunition; 2) a change of shooting position; or, 3) a change of shooter. Any of the foregoing can cause a change in the impact point of the bullet on the target. But with the Offset Profiler you can fix this to move the point of impact to the point of aim. One thing that I notice right away is the info under the PS button. Not only does it tell you the info on what your current settings but it also tells you lots of very useful information. It gives you Ranging Formulas, Range Conversion Factors, Wind Estimation Details and Lead Formulas. There is a slightly new layout on the main page but with less clutter. I find the new layout to be more appealing to the eye and seems to be easer to find your way around for someone that is just getting started. Long story short I think this is great software and I think that we will see allot more in the future from Lex Talus Corporation and I think that they will be what other ballistic softwares are held up to.

I wanted to tell everyone that I am sorry for the lack of updated info I am helping my father in-law reside his house and I have not had a day off in about a month but will be done soon. Thanks for your patience
