Ballistics Buddy
Elevation and Windage calculator for long range shooting.
Ballistics Buddy - Elevation & Windage Calculator
"Ballistics Buddy" is an Android app that calculates elevation and windage adjustments for long range shooting. It factors in gravity, aerodynamic drag, wind, rifle specifics, and environmental conditions like air density. The app aims to provide a quick, user-friendly tool for shooters in the field while addressing all significant elements that influence bullet trajectory.

App summary
Ballistics Buddy is an application designed to calculate the scope's Elevation and Windage adjustments for long range shooting. It works by calculating the bullet trajectory relative to the scope's line of sight, where the trajectory is influenced by gravity, the aerodynamic drag, the wind, your specific rifle setup, air density (temperature, pressure/altitude, and humidity), Gyroscopic spin drift, and the Coriolis force. The aim of this application is to be quick and easy to use in the field, while still being able to capture all of the significant factors which influence the bullet's trajectory.

User reviews
Doesn't cover air rifles. Might be good if you're wanting only rifle ballistics but I like a ballistics app that doesn't limit itself to such narrow margins.

Bradley Naughton, 2023-09-21It's pretty decent and I really like the fact that it's free. There are some ballistics-related apps that the developers are charging way too much money for (looking at you Applied Ballistics!) so I will definitely stay with this one. I would, however, like to see a major change to the way the app operates. Rather than having ammunition and rifle data stored together in the same "rifle" slot, forcing you to repeat a lot of redundant data entry if you use different ammo in the same rifle or multiple rifles with the same ammo, there should be a "rifle" page and a separate "ammo" page.
