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.

About

MilliDope

MilliDope tells you how many clicks to dial for each target at your range. Step through your targets, dial each adjustment, and shoot. Your rifle, your ammunition, and your targets are configured independently. Change your load without touching your rifle. Shoot a new range without re-entering your ballistics. MilliDope keeps the complexity organised so you don't have to carry it. When a shot doesn't land where expected, tap where it hit in the spotter view. MilliDope calculates your correction and uses the deviation to refine its wind estimate — so each shot informs the next. Atmosphere matters at distance. MilliDope fetches live weather conditions automatically using your GPS location, pulling from professional meteorological services that measure conditions across your entire shooting environment — not just at your feet. It updates in the background while you're in position. Large inputs and buttons work with gloves on. All trajectory calculations run locally on your device. Share any rifle, ammunition, or range configuration as a QR code. Five drag models: G1, G5, G6, G7, and GS. Coriolis effect from your GPS latitude. Gyroscopic spin drift from your rifling twist and direction. Cant, shot angle, and barrel azimuth. Kinetic energy, Mach number, and time-of-flight at every range point. Subsonic warning included. Calibrate a real ballistic coefficient from observed behaviour No built-in bullet database — because your load data comes from your manufacturer or your own measurements, not marketing copy. Enter it once and it's yours. Always available, always up to date.
