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.

Field Target is the companion app for air rifle precision shooting in the Field Target discipline — the sport regulated by the WFTF (World Field Target Federation). Designed by a shooter for shooters, the app brings together everything you need at the range: setup management, ballistic tables, calibration, weather briefings and session tracking. Your data stays on your device — no accounts, no analytics, no tracking. 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. Internet is only used to fetch the latest weather data for your briefing Built for HFT and FT competitors, plinking enthusiasts and air rifle precision shooters. Compatible with both spring-piston and PCP rifles.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Field Target at none against Locus Ballistics's 3. Locus Ballistics's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
