Long Range Shooter

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.

When I first started to shoot long distance, I started with Sierra I-5 ballistic software. I first thought that it would be the answer to my prayers. It had everything I needed and it would account for all the atmospheric conditions that I would encounter while shooting. But when I pulled the trigger guess what, a miss. I thought that because I could not make in field changes, that it was causing the bullet to miss the target. The real problem laid in the way the software accounts for bullet drop. A long time ago a man called Mayevski came up with a standard projectile flight path around the turn of the 20th century that all other bullets would be based off of. The problem is that the standard bullet weighed about one pound and was about one inch in diameter with a very blunt nose. Witch could not be compare to today’s modern bullets. So basing your flight path from this out of date technology became very difficult to do. You had to break down your flight path into different velocity regions and assign a different BC (ballistic coefficiency) in each region. The Lex Talus Corporation has come out with Field Firing Solutions. Software that, instead of using Mayevski drag function, uses a deceleration constant. This allows you to use only one BC value on your flight path. If that wasn’t enough, it gives you the ability to use angle cosine and coriolis drift to calculate your shot. The software was made to give you cold bore shots, and does it well. Plus with the ability to put the software on a PDA, it gives you great control over the atmospheric conditions that you will encounter in the field. In my days of shooting I have seen several types of ballistic software and not one can give me the type of control that this one delivers. It’s very easy to use and understand. In my opinion, to purchase this software would be one of the best choices you could make for shooting long distance.
