## What is Drift Ballistics?

Drift Ballistics is a fast, wind-aware ballistic calculator built for the field, not the desktop.

Enter your load and distance, and Drift Ballistics gives you drop and wind-drift holds in MRAD or MOA — with turret clicks worked out for you. Wind comes from your GPS location or any city you search, with three ways to handle angle: full crosswind for a conservative estimate, compass mode using your phone's heading for a real angle, or manual entry when you know the wind yourself.

FEATURES
• Drop and wind-drift holds in MRAD or MOA, with turret click counts
• Wind by GPS or city search — crosswind, compass, or manual angle modes
• Built-in cartridge presets (.223, .308, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 Win Mag, and more) or enter your own velocity and BC
• Full DOPE card from 100 to 1000 yards
• 100-yard or 100-meter zero
• Imperial, metric, or both
• Home Screen widget for your last computed holds
• Night mode — a red-only display that protects your night vision in the field

PRIVACY, BUILT IN
Drift Ballistics doesn't ask for an account, doesn't track you, and doesn't show ads. Location is used only to fetch wind conditions for your calculations — it's never stored or shared. Everything else stays on your device.

No subscriptions. No clutter. Just the numbers you need before the shot.
