KEY FEATURES - Rifle setups — manage multiple configurations with calibre (.177/.22), pellet weight, velocity, ballistic coefficient (G1), sight height and zero distance - Holdover tables — metre-by-metre tables from 9 to 50 m, computed from your real-world calibration. Switch between mrad and MOA automatically based on your scope's click value - Smart calibration — measure your true holdovers at the range (in clicks or your scope's angular unit) and the app interpolates between points to generate the full table. Zero point highlighted - Weather briefing — wind speed, gusts, direction, temperature, humidity, pressure and air density from your location, with qualitative impact assessment for your shot. Requires internet connection. Powered by Open-Meteo - Training sessions — log targets one by one with distance, kill zone size (15/25/40 mm), shooting position (free, kneeling, standing) and hit or miss. Built-in countdown timer with beep and vibration - Statistics — aggregated insights across all your sessions: hit percentage by distance, kill zone, position and weather conditions. Distance × KZ heatmap - A4 print — full ballistic sheet with trajectory chart, setup parameters and weather snapshot, formatted to fit on a single A4 page for the range - Six languages — Portuguese, English, French, Spanish, German and Italian - Adjustable text size — accessibility-friendly zoom from 80% to 160% - Dark and light themes - Private by design — your setups, calibration points and session history stay on your device. No accounts, no servers storing your data, no tracking, no ads.
