Hunt the Odds Ballistics turns a rangefinder reading into a dial setting — nothing more to think about in the field. TYPE THE RANGE. READ THE DIAL. Hunt Mode asks for one thing: the range. Everything else — your rifle, your load, your zero — lives in a saved profile you set up once. Add wind if you have it, and you get a clear MOA or MIL correction with the exact click count for your scope. No menus to dig through with a buck standing at 400 yards. BUILT ON REAL PHYSICS Underneath the simple interface is a genuine point-mass ballistic solver — G1 and G7 drag models, 4th-order Runge-Kutta integration, and real atmospherics (temperature, pressure, humidity, altitude, density altitude). Shooting uphill or downhill is handled exactly, not approximated. Wind works at any clock angle, not just a straight crosswind. Coriolis is there for the shots where it matters, off by default. We don't fake what we haven't validated. If a feature isn't backed by a real model, it's labeled unavailable — never guessed. ONE-TAP ELEVATION Tap once and the app pulls your current elevation from your phone's location — a single reading, not continuous tracking — and feeds it straight into the air-density calculation. Deny location or skip it entirely and you can always type elevation in by hand. FIELD MODE A large-print, single-screen view built for one hand, bad light, and no fumbling. Range and dial, nothing else competing for your attention. RIFLES & LOADS, SAVED Store multiple rifles, each with its own loads, zero, scope click value, and sight height. Switch between them in a tap. A built-in demo profile lets you try the app before entering your own data. DOPE TABLES & PRINTABLE RANGE CARDS Build a dope table at any range interval, with the columns you want — including drop in inches. Export a clean, printable range card (3×5 card or full page) as a print layout or a shareable image, for the days you'd rather glance at paper than a screen. YOUR UNITS, YOUR CALL MOA or MIL. Yards or meters. Fahrenheit or Celsius. Switch anytime — your rifle's own click value always drives the dial. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Install it and it works fully offline, deep in the backcountry with zero bars. No account, no login, no cloud sync required — your rifles and settings stay on your device. Hunt the Odds Ballistics is a calculator, not a guarantee. Confirm your dope at the range, and use good judgment in the field — the app gives you a number, the decision is always yours.
