Chronograph Log was developed to record your bullet velocities, from your Chronograph, onto your iOS device. No more writing everything down on a pieces of paper to be lost in your range bag. When your friends ask about the loads you are using, you can pull out Chronograph Log and give them accurate info instead of guessing. Send them an email or message on the spot. Share your favorite loads via eMail, Facebook and more. Chronograph Log was primarily developed for USPSA IPSC and IDPA, where Minor and Major Power Factors are very important. It will color code those entries based on their velocities. Note that the Power Factors can be ignored if you are tracking rifle loads or don’t care about Power Factors. Note: This application is not a chronograph. You will need to enter readings from your chronograph into the Chronograph Log app. • Define: Bullets, Guns and Powder in the database. • Record velocities for each round from your chronograph. • Automatically calculate Average, Min and Max velocities. • Color coding to show each velocity’s Power Factor. • Export full tables to Mail. • Export favorite loads to Messages, Mail, Twitter or Facebook. • Backup / Restore to Dropbox. • Bluetooth integration with Competition Electronics "ProChrono Digital" using their "Digital Link" module.

About

ApexLOAD FIELD

Read full description

ApexLOAD FIELD is the range companion app in the ApexLOAD family — built for everything you do at the range, not at the desk. SHOOT Full ballistic solver in your pocket. Enter your bullet, muzzle velocity, and zero, and get instant come-up and windage in MOA or clicks, a sortable trajectory table (velocity, energy, Mach, drop), key metrics like MPBR and optimum zero, and a trajectory graph comparing your current zero against the optimum. Dial in wind speed and direction on an interactive wind dial and watch the numbers update live. MEASURE Log chronograph strings against your saved loads and weapons, and track velocity and pressure over your reloading history at a glance. ANALYZE Snap a photo of a target and let AI find your shots for you. ApexLOAD FIELD detects the group automatically and reports group size in both mm and MOA. DATABASE Keep profiles for every weapon, cartridge, and bullet you shoot, plus a running diary of every load you've built — synced with your ApexLOAD PRO account, so your bench data and range data live in one place. DISCUSS Threaded discussions with other shooters, hunters, and reloaders, right inside the app. Everything you log in the field flows straight back into ApexLOAD PRO, so nothing gets lost between the bench and the range.
