The Armory is where rifles are built and stored. In the free version of BallisticsARC, you have access to only one rifle. This rifle can be edited indefintely, and we find many users get all the tools they need from our free version.
By upgrading to the PRO version, you get unlimited rifle entries and have the option to create an online account to sync your rifle data in the cloud on BallisticsARC.com. This means your rifle information is availble by simply logging in to any device with the PRO version installed.
The Armory includes an expansive library of projectile data to start building your rifles with. Choose from over 2,500 bullets, and customize your build with data you collect. Functionality is built into the app to true ballistics calculations to your exact specifications.
Additionally, we offer a Notes section within each Rifle Profile that allows the user to track important information including round count, alterations, and upgrades. The information entered will live on the cloud for PRO users and will be pushed to other logged in devices.
There are several ways to integrate local and immediate weather information into BallisticsARC to make the most accurate calculations possible.
BallisticsARC is built to automatically connect to atmospheric hardware devices such as the WEATHERmeter and WINDmeter from WeatherFlow, and all Kestrel LiNK atmospheric devices. Simply connect the device to your phone, and watch the app collect the data and immediately apply it to your ballistics calculations.
Additionally, you can enter atmospheric information into the app manually, or use our online Weather API call to get that information automatically for efficient atmospheric profiles when availble. Our online weather reports come directly from the FAA and are only avilable if the report is no older than 2 hours. Unlike other online weather reporting services, the density altitude we provide is immeditely ready to be applied to your ballistic solutions.
BallisticsARC includes two different methods for displaying ballistics charts.
Chart Mode is traditional ballistics chart for a defined set of parameters (range, angle, bearing) that displays ballistic solutions at defined increments from point A to point B. While extremely useful for certain types of shooting, we found that this format didn't support practical rifle competition and tactical engagements very well. So, we created Comp mode.
Comp Mode has set the bar for our peers in supporting practical rifle competitions by offering the ability to build a line item chart that supports multiple targets with varying shot parameters, from a single shooting position. We approached the design from a practical rifle shooter's standpoint, and we developed it with a framework that is universally applicable to hunters, competition shooters, and LE/Mil professionals. We're very proud of this feature and it continues to evolve with the invaluable input from shooters like yourself.
All of our charts update dynamically with integrated atmospheric data as well as any changes made to shot parameters (range, angle, bearing). This means that any edits will be immeditely reflected in your data.
PRO users are allowed the option to export and save charts. Our first in class cloud based system allows PRO users to backup valuable range information and access it from any device simply by logging in.
A main feature of BallisticsARC is the GPS Map function, that delivers range and ballistics performance data at the drop of a pin. We've plugged into the GPS sensors in your device to help you find your exact location, and by scrolling and zooming in on your map you can find accurate ranges and have ballistic data displayed as a layer on your map. Simply drop a pin, read the data, dial your turret and hit the mark.
Situational awareness in the field is made easy with Map mode with GeoBallistic Overlays. Our patented approach to displaying external ballistic performance is showcased by connecting a line between the shooter and the target. This line communicates, through colors and line styles, whether the shooting conditions meet the goals set by the user with respect to velocity, energy, and point blank range. The GeoBallistic Overlays can be tapped for further information and interaction.
PRO users have the ability to save range cards for later use. These range cards are often used by hunters and law enforcement to assist with efficient field calculations as well as data management, mission planning, after action reports, and target information sharing.
