Locus Ballistics — PRS-ready ballistic calculator for long range shooting Locus Ballistics is a ballistic calculator designed for Precision Rifle Series (PRS) workflows and long range shooting. It works as a ballistic tool that computes bullet trajectory corrections based on environmental conditions, rifle configuration, ammunition parameters, and target distance, and supports reliable offline operation. How the ballistic calculator works Accurate long range shooting depends on precise calculations. This ballistics calculator processes distance, wind, temperature, and equipment parameters to compute bullet drop and trajectory values in real time. As a trajectory calculator, Locus Ballistics allows multiple targets to be calculated simultaneously. Each target can have its own wind values, making this ballistic tool suitable for PRS and other long range shooting disciplines. Key features for PRS and long range shooting - Offline mode allowing trajectory calculations without an internet connection - Multi-target ballistic calculator with several targets displayed on one screen - Independent wind values for each target within the ballistic tool - Targets grouped by locations with instant switching - Main-screen-first interface for fast control of the ballistic tool - Flexible unit systems and parameter configuration - Primary correction plus correction relative to the first target, useful for PRS stages - Weather from a Kestrel meter over Bluetooth Designed for PRS workflows Precision Rifle Series shooting often involves awkward positions, multiple target distances, and rapid transitions. Locus Ballistics is a ballistic calculator optimized for these PRS requirements, keeping targets, locations, and bullet drop corrections immediately accessible. This PRS-focused ballistic tool emphasizes simplicity and speed, helping shooters manage long range shooting calculations without rebuilding setups between targets. Free - 1 rifle profile - 1 ammunition profile per rifle - Up to 3 targets per location - 1 saved location - Full access to trajectory calculator outputs, including bullet drop Pro - Up to 10 rifle profiles - Up to 10 ammunition profiles per rifle - Up to 30 targets per location - Up to 30 saved locations - True Drop Fit — advanced real-data trajectory analysis - Garmin companion - Apple Watch companion - Fire Map Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: weekly, monthly or yearly.
