## What is Wrist Dope?

A real ballistic calculator built for Apple Watch first — not a phone app's afterthought. It runs standalone on your wrist; the iPhone companion is a full app, synced.

FREE TO DOWNLOAD
The full calculator is free on iPhone and Apple Watch. Wrist Dope Pro — a one-time $39.99, no subscription — unlocks Match Mode, scanning, Siri, auto environmentals, live complications, printable range cards, and unlimited profiles — buy or restore on the watch. Accuracy is never gated.

WHEN THE SHOT WON'T WAIT
No time to dig out a wind meter and thumb through a calculator. Raise your wrist, dial the range, read your hold. Send it. Most tools make you pick fast or accurate; Wrist Dope refuses — glanceable and dial-driven, with real math underneath.

A SERIOUS ENGINE, NOT A TOY
- True point-mass solver with G1/G7 drag models
- Coriolis, spin drift, and incline (angle) compensation
- Holds in MIL or MOA — plus velocity, energy, time of flight
- Validated against published reference trajectories

LIVE FIRE
Dial the range; the solution updates instantly. A color-coded arrow shows wind at a glance; multi-wind previews holds across wind speeds. The display stays awake on the gun — no dimming between shots.

MATCH MODE — THE STAGE CARD, SOLVED
Build a match as stages and targets, then glance-read the active stage: every target's range and live-solved holds, with the shot order in one line. Enter on watch or iPhone; arm it and the live Stage Card lands on both. Share the sheet as a .wdmatch file — the whole squad imports it.

AIRGUN READY
Pellet-real ammo — tenth-grain weights, BCs to 0.005 — and eleven airgun calibers from .177 (4.5mm) to the .72 big bores. Pick one and the gun sets itself up — 30 m zero, real pellet load, small-quarry targets, close-range card.

SCOPE LEVEL — FREE ANTI-CANT
A canted rifle misses wide at distance. Zero the level to your rifle and hold by ear — audio and haptic cues, eyes on target. Free on watch and iPhone. Pro puts a live level behind Live Fire, the Range Card, and the Stage Card — and takes shot angle from it.

ON THE RIFLE
Mount the watch at any angle and set the screen to match — bearings and level sensors adjust. On iPhone, landscape puts the control rail on your chosen side.

HIT PROBABILITY AND THE ETHICAL SHOT
Lock a target for a real first-round-hit percentage from your velocity SD, group size, and wind call — plus a terminal check rating energy and impact velocity for your game. Never a fake number.

HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI
"Hey Siri, Dope for 250" speaks your hold — watch and iPhone. Wind and target by voice, too.

POINT-AND-LOCK THE FIELD
Aim downrange, tap to lock target; aim downwind, tap to lock wind and dial speed — read on the shooter's clock face.

RANGE CARD ON YOUR WRIST
A full dope table from your chosen minimum. Dial to scroll; rows auto-center.

YOUR DOPE ON THE WATCH FACE
Seven complications: a mini range card on your dialed distance, holds, target, density altitude, and active load.

YOUR RIFLES, YOUR LOADS
Build rifle and load profiles right on the watch — no phone required; a reference-zero badge marks the load your scope is zeroed for. On iPhone, scan a factory ammo barcode and the load builds itself — caliber, bullet, BC, muzzle velocity — or pick from a bullet catalog with factory BCs. Export a printable dope card, and back up your library to a file you control.

YOUR CONDITIONS, YOUR UNITS
Pressure, temperature, altitude, humidity, and wind each toggle AUTO (sensors) or MANUAL. Metric or imperial — one switch or per-unit overrides, synced across devices.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Your profiles and readings stay on your device. Weather comes from Apple Weather on request.

Built for hunters, PRS, precision shooters, airgunners, and anyone who wants a first-round-hit hold without unpacking a bag of gear. Runs on Apple Watch Series 4 and later.

Wrist Dope is a calculation aid. Always verify your data and shoot safely, responsibly, and within the law.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.15 — 2026-08-16

Airguns are in. Set up pellets the way the tin prints them: weights to a tenth of a grain (10.4 gr), ballistic coefficients down to 0.005, velocities from 300 fps. Eleven airgun calibers from .177 (4.5mm) to the .72 big bores — pick one and the gun sets itself up: a 30 m zero, a real pellet load, small-quarry targets, and a close-range dial. Springer, PCP, or big-bore slug gun — same engine, honestly applied.

Dope cards now start where you shoot: choose a minimum range and step every 5 from 10 out to 200 — or keep 25s to 1000 for the rifle. The card step lives in Settings and applies to every gun.

Also in 1.15:
- Airgun calibers show their metric bore — .22 Airgun (5.5mm) — for shooters who think in millimeters.
- Energy readouts keep a decimal below 30 ft-lbs, where whole numbers hide what matters.
- Small-quarry ethical-shot floors now rate airgun power honestly instead of calling every pellet insufficient.

The shot won't wait.

### 1.14.1 — 2026-08-14

Bug fix: iPhone users on the free tier couldn't manually set environmental conditions (pressure, temperature, altitude, humidity). Manual entry now works as intended.

### 1.14 — 2026-08-11

Match Mode — the stage card, solved. Build a match as stages and targets on the iPhone (or right on the watch, crown and tap only), arm it, and a Match page appears with the active stage: every target's range and live-solved elevation and wind holds, plus the shot order in one dense line. Prefer shot-by-shot? Flip to the sequence layout. Tap the header to switch stages; your wind call, density altitude, and round count ride along. Rifle-mounted watch or rifle-mounted iPhone — the same card on both.

One shooter keys the sheet, the whole squad imports it: share any match as a .wdmatch file over AirDrop, Messages, or Files. Import merges — it never overwrites your matches. Match Mode is part of Wrist Dope Pro.

Also in 1.14:
- Older watches welcome: Wrist Dope now runs on watchOS 10 — Apple Watch Series 4, Series 5, and the original SE.
- The anti-cant level glow and audio now run behind the Range Card and the Stage Card, not just Live Fire.
- Stability fixes for rotated, rail-mounted screens.

The shot won't wait.

### 1.13 — 2026-08-05

Full metric support — the whole app, watch and iPhone.

Switch to metric in Settings and everything follows: meters for range, m/s or km/h for wind, °C, hPa, joules, and centimeters — across Live Fire, the range card, complications, Siri, and printable dope cards. Prefer to mix? Per-unit overrides let you run any combination.

Your unit choices sync automatically between iPhone and watch. Your scope's MIL or MOA stays exactly as you set it.

The shot won't wait.

### 1.12 — 2026-07-06

The watch now supports screen rotation — mount it at any angle on your rifle. Vertical, horizontal, or upside down: set the screen to match the mounting direction and all target bearings and level sensors adjust accordingly. Set it once in Settings → Mount Rotation.

Every watch page now uses the full screen in both orientations, from the 40mm SE to the Ultra.

Screen rotation is part of Wrist Dope Pro — one-time, no subscription.

The shot won't wait.
