In target shooting competitions it's common to plot your shots for record keeping. Plot-o-matic style plotting is becoming more and more popular, as it shows what the wind is doing to your shots during the course of fire and helps you make better judgements on the conditions. SC: Plotter lets you switch seamlessly between a traditional plot and Plot-o-matic. Entering a shot is as simple as tapping your aim point, tapping the point of impact and tapping save. Adjust the scope settings in the app as you adjust your turrets and you'll always be in sync with your plot. New in Version 2 • iPhone – the app now runs on iPhone as well as iPad, in portrait or landscape, with layouts designed for the phone in your pocket at the range. • iCloud sync – your sessions, shots and targets sync between your devices through your own iCloud account. Plot on your phone at the range and review on your iPad at home. • Mil scopes – choose 0.1 or 0.05 mil clicks as well as 1/4 or 1/8 MOA. The steppers, target grid, shot list, graphs, group sizes and export all work in mils. • Your own targets – create your own target faces, or duplicate one of the built-in faces as a starting point. Hide the targets you never shoot to keep your list tidy. • Previous elevation – start a new session on a target you've shot before and the app offers the elevation you finished on last time. • Notes on any shot – add or edit a note on a shot after you've saved it. • Dark mode, Split View and resizable windows on iPad, and the target name and distance in the CSV export. Features • Plot-o-matic or traditional plotting, switchable at any time • Many UK, US and international targets, including Bisley, ICFRA, NRA, DCRA, ISSF and IBS faces – or make your own • Sighters, brackets and notes against individual shots • Elevation and wind graphs across the course of fire, taking your scope settings and aim point into account • Group size (extreme spread) in MOA or mils, and in inches and centimetres • Your final windage and elevation for every session, ready for the next time you shoot that distance • Export to CSV (for Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets) with scores, scope settings and aim and impact points as MOA or mils from centre, so you can run your own analysis on your own data This app has been developed by an F-Class shooter in their spare time, because other apps on the market were lacking something. Every purchase goes towards funding the hobby! For useful references on Plot-o-matic plotting, read 'The Wind Book for Rifle Shooters' by Linda K. Miller and Keith A.
