RangeZero is a modern firearm zeroing and range log app built to help shooters organize firearm profiles, calculate sight corrections, save range sessions, and keep better records over time. Whether you are confirming a zero, adjusting sights from a measured group, marking impacts on a target photo, or saving session notes for later, RangeZero gives you a cleaner way to track what happened at the range. Key Features: • Firearm Profiles Save rifles, handguns, shotguns, calibers, sight systems, click values, preferred zero distances, ammo notes, and ballistic setup details. • Choose a Zero Method Use Manual Guided Zero, Adjust My Sights, Photo Zero, AR 10-yard target workflow, or USMC 25m / 300m target workflow. • Sight Adjustment Calculator Enter target distance, group offset, and click value to calculate elevation and windage corrections. • Photo Zero Mark scale points, point of aim, and shot impacts on a target photo. RangeZero calculates group size, offset, and suggested sight correction. • Printable Zero Targets Generate printable AR 10-yard and USMC 25m zero targets with clear instructions and scale checks. • Range Sessions Save zero attempts, group size, ammo used, location, notes, target photos, and confirmed zero status. • PDF Reports Export range reports with firearm details, session notes, adjustment data, and attached target photos. • Find Nearby Ranges Search nearby shooting ranges, clubs, training centers, and directions using Apple Maps. • iCloud Backup Back up firearm profiles, sessions, app preferences, and settings to your private iCloud account. RangeZero is designed for lawful range, sporting, and training use. Calculations are estimates and should always be confirmed at the range. Always follow firearm safety rules, local laws, and range procedures.

TrueBallistics starts where other ballistic apps stop. Every solver will take a bullet's published numbers and draw you a trajectory. That trajectory is right up until the point your rifle disagrees with it, and past 600 yards your rifle usually does. TrueBallistics goes the other way. Tell it what your rifle actually did. The come-up you dialed at 400, at 600, at 925. It works backwards from those holds to a corrected solution for that barrel, that load, that scope. Not a book number. Yours. Then it carries that dope with you. Shoot your data on a 90 degree afternoon at 300 feet, come back in January at 5,000, and the app does not throw your work away and start over from the book. It moves your own dope onto the new air. WHAT ELSE IS IN IT Dope card. Any range band, any step, printed small enough to tape to a stock. Turret tape. Measure your elevation cap with calipers, say how much the turret moves in one full turn, and the app lays out the tick marks and your own yardages around the circumference at true size. Print it, cut it, wrap the cap. Nothing else does this automatically. Sight in backwards. Type where the group landed at 100 and it tells you the zero you actually have, not the one you meant to have. Point blank range, and sight height worked out from two caliper measurements. Reload logbook. Bullet, powder, charge, primer, brass, seating depth, measured velocity, and its own dope, for each load. Several loads per rifle. Conditions. One button reads the nearest National Weather Service station and your phone's own barometer. Or type it all in by hand. Both work. Bullet, cartridge, powder and scope libraries are built in, so setting up a new rifle takes minutes instead of an evening. HOW IT WORKS No account and no sign in. Your rifles and your dope live on your device and are never uploaded. No ads, no analytics, nothing running in the background. The only time the app touches the internet at all is when you press the weather button. Everything else works with no signal, which is where most people shoot. TrueBallistics does not publish load data and never will. Your manual and the powder maker's current published data are the authority on charges. Molon Labe LLC Corning, Arkansas
