Yonder: Long Range

There’s a lot more to see downrange: new mountains, fall color in Aspen, grass up close, and clouds and hawks overhead. Grass and trees move with the wind, and misses kick up dust that drifts with it. There’s a new 3D elk, too, along with steel that falls, swings and twists when hit. The ammo library has grown by over 200 factory loads and 26 new cartridges, each load validated against Doppler-derived drag data. Search for a load and compare trajectories side by side. We’ve spent a lot of time on the scopes. Aiming in now looks like putting your eye behind a real scope. There are new scopes and reticles, many bodies and turrets rebuilt in 3D, and click sizes, zero stops and elevation travel that match the real thing. A power ring replaces the zoom rail. You’ll see your rifle with your scope mounted before you bring it up to your eye, and LOADOUT puts your rifle, scope, reticle, suppressor and ammo in one place. Recoil moves the crosshair, quick strings climb, and on iPhone you feel bigger cartridges kick harder. The gunshot sounds are new, including suppressed fire. Want to check our ballistics? The new PROOF page puts our elevation corrections beside a Doppler-based solver’s and shows you how to check them yourself. The free scopes are now a 5-25x with a tree reticle and a 3-15x with a mil ranging cross. The mil-dot has moved to Pro. You can also set a maximum practice range and take your Cold Bore shot offline to post later. KYL and the Texas Star now follow your wind and drift settings. We’ve included stability and performance fixes, too.
