BoreAxis Ballistics

Read full description

A ballistic solution is only the starting point. BOREAXIS is a modern ballistic solver and DOPE system built for long-range shooters, hunters, and precision rifle competitors who want more than a calculated number. Build your rifle and ammunition profile, calculate your firing solution, take it to the range, verify what actually happens, and refine your data over time. CALCULATE WITH CONFIDENCE Create firing solutions using the data that matters. BOREAXIS supports G1 and G7 ballistic coefficients. Account for changing conditions with atmospheric inputs including temperature, pressure, humidity, altitude, and other environmental factors. Advanced calculations include spin drift and Coriolis correction, with support for both imperial and metric units. Build solutions out to 1,800 yards and keep the information you need organized in a clean, field-focused interface. BUILT FOR THE WAY SHOOTERS ACTUALLY WORK Powerful ballistic software should not require fighting through menus, cluttered screens, or disconnected tools. BOREAXIS was designed around the complete shooting workflow, with a clear visual hierarchy, intuitive controls, and fast access to the information that matters in the field. Profiles, firing solutions, environmental data, verified engagements, truing, and DOPE all work together as parts of the same system. Every screen is designed to make complex ballistic information easier to read and faster to use without stripping away the depth serious shooters expect. The result is a ballistic tool that feels as refined as the equipment you bring to the range. FROM CALCULATED DOPE TO VERIFIED DOPE A ballistic calculator can tell you what should happen. The range tells you what actually happened. BOREAXIS is built around both. Record verified engagements and compare real-world impacts against your predicted solution. Use that information to refine your ballistic data, true your setup, and build a DOPE record based on your rifle, your ammunition, and your actual shooting results. Instead of starting over every time you head to the range, BOREAXIS helps your data improve with you. BUILD AND SAVE YOUR SETUPS Create and manage multiple rifle and ammunition profiles so your ballistic data stays organized. Switch between setups without rebuilding the same information every session and keep your firing solutions connected to the equipment they belong to. WEATHER AND LOCATION-ASSISTED DATA When available, BOREAXIS can use location-assisted environmental data to help you build firing solutions around current conditions. You can also enter atmospheric information manually when you want complete control over the inputs. FIELD-READY DOPE Generate range-specific elevation and windage solutions and keep critical information easy to read when you need it. Save verified data, refine corrections, and export DOPE in supported formats including image, CSV, and PDF for reference outside the app. BOREAXIS PRO Unlock the most advanced BOREAXIS capabilities with a one-time Pro upgrade—NO RECURRING SUBSCRIPTION required. Pro is designed for shooters who want deeper environmental tools, advanced truing and refinement features, and the full BOREAXIS workflow. BUILT AROUND THE PROCESS Good DOPE is not created by an algorithm alone. It comes from combining a strong ballistic model with real-world confirmation. Build the profile. Calculate the solution. Shoot. Verify. Refine. BOREAXIS turns that process into one connected system. Calculate. Verify. Refine.

Calling wind is the hardest part of long-range shooting. Gun Number trains the mental math precision shooters do under the pressure to develop a wind call before conditions change. Practice with realistic scenarios: • Four difficulty tiers — from stated wind at full value (Novice) to multi-cue overlap with shifting wind across stages (Expert) • Read mirage angle, environmental cues, and flag indicators with cue tables that match how shooters actually call wind • Multi-target stages of 1 to 4 targets — single timer, like a real PRS troop line • Bracket mode shows you a wind-speed range to compute, with a Send-it / Fits / Exceeds plate-fit check • Configurable plate size from 0.5 to 3 MOA, custom MRAD if you want it • Density altitude correction past 800 yards, baked into the math walkthrough • Mirage drift direction matches your wind clock — every cue matches what you'd actually see downrange Built for actual stage practice: • Per-target timer that matches the pressure you'll feel between shots • Self-rating after every reveal builds the data you need to spot weak spots • Session summary breaks performance down by wind cue type — find what's costing you points Educational reference built in: • Worked examples that walk through the formula on real scenarios • Clock-face wind angle diagram with multipliers • Full cue tables for mirage, environmental, and flag indicators • Density altitude correction reference Privacy: • Local-only. No accounts. No analytics. No ads. • Profile and session history live on your device — never transmitted. Try 5 free scenarios. Unlock unlimited practice for $9.99 — one-time purchase, yours forever, all future updates included. Built by a shooter for shooters.
