Hedge Archery vs Range Master

For Competition Archery The heart of Helical Edge is its mobile app, featuring a powerful ballistics calculator that performs real-time calculations directly in the field.It provides exact sight marks for any distance—down to decimals of a yard or meter—eliminating guesswork. Key adjustments include wind compensation (e.g., for arrows drifting six inches), precise aim-offs for low-visibility targets like ASA rings or wind drifts (horizontal and vertical shifts), close-range fine-tuning, and experimental methods for extreme uphill shots beyond standard cosine corrections. If marks run consistently high or low, simply input a corrected mark at an odd distance (like 52.5 yards), and the app recalibrates everything on the fly. Minimal data entry means you can generate usable marks with just one sight input, perfect for mid-tournament equipment fixes under time pressure. Data syncs effortlessly to the cloud, allowing access via a web browser on your computer. There, you can generate and print professional PDF sight tapes, along with comprehensive mark lists—including close marks and all others in 0.5-yard or meter increments—formatted for standard 8.5 x 11 paper. Note: Real-time calculations are exclusive to the app, while sight tapes and printable marks are web-only features. For Hunting (Pin Sights) Archery Tailored for using pin sights, the mobile app simplifies setup with intuitive tools. Start by sighting in a closer-distance mark, then hold your phone behind the sight cage to overlay a predicted pin layout for quick visual alignment. Confirm a second distance to refine pin gaps, and add a third using the built-in caliper tool for perfectly spaced pins across your desired ranges. Close sight marks are readily available in-app for on-the-spot reference, reducing time spent shooting broadheads and minimizing target wear. Like the competition side, all data saves to the cloud for web access on your computer, where you can print custom PDF sight tapes extending beyond your farthest pin, plus equivalent close marks—all optimized for 8.5 x 11 paper. This ensures reliable backups and easy sharing. Note: Pin measurement and alignment tools are app-exclusive, while sight tapes and printables are available only via the web browser.

Know where your rounds could go. Range Master maps a reference area beyond the target for an outdoor range, private property, blind or fixed hunting stand. Set the firing point, direction of fire, ammunition profile and impact surface, then see how the reference footprint changes. That footprint is called a Surface Danger Zone, or SDZ. It brings direct fire, dispersion, ricochet and the published max-range distance into one view so the range layout is easier to understand. SEE THE DOWNRANGE FOOTPRINT • Place the firing point by GPS or a map tap • Set the direction of fire with the bearing control • Choose a listed ammunition profile and impact surface • View the published max-range distance, dispersion, ricochet and vertical hazard • Add target lines, berms, boundaries and range structures • Save a range and return to it later KEEP RANGE DAY ORGANIZED • Set each saved range HOT or COLD • Keep shooter, session, round-count and incident records • Track estimated lead accumulation by berm • Export a planning summary, range brief or CSV records ALSO USEFUL FROM A FIXED STAND OR BLIND For a fixed stand, blind or private-land shooting position, use the same map workflow to view a generalized downrange reference footprint for a matching listed ammunition profile. Range Master is not a shot-placement or trajectory tool, hunting-safety determination, or authorization to fire. Never use the App to decide whether or when to take a shot. START FREE The free version includes the core SDZ map for .22 LR and one saved range. RANGE MASTER PREMIUM Premium unlocks the additional supported ammunition profiles, up to 15 saved ranges, range-layout tools, range-day records, berm history, range briefs and exports. Screenshots marked Premium show paid features. Available subscription options and prices are shown in the app before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your App Store account settings. IMPORTANT Range Master is an informational, educational, training, and planning aid. Its footprint is a generalized reference model based on published dimensions and the information you enter. It is not a factual statement of actual conditions, a ballistics calculator, trajectory or impact prediction, backstop or containment assessment, hunting-safety determination, survey, site approval, or authorization to fire. Never use the App to decide whether or when to take a shot. Verify the exact load, direction, backstop, terrain, people, structures, property limits, weather, and every legal and safety condition independently.
