Ballistics Insight is a web application designed to provide shooters with accessible and accurate ballistic calculations. Whether you're a long-range competitor, a hunter, or a recreational shooter, our goal is to offer a tool that helps you understand and predict bullet trajectory with confidence.
Our Mission
To empower shooters with the data they need for precision and safety. We believe that understanding ballistics is key to responsible and effective shooting. This application leverages established physics models to deliver reliable estimates.
Key Features
- Comprehensive ballistics variable input (BC, bullet weight, muzzle velocity, etc.).
- Support for both Imperial and Metric unit systems with on-the-fly conversion.
- Atmospheric condition adjustments (altitude, temperature, pressure).
- Detailed results display including drop, wind drift, velocity, and energy at target.
- Trajectory plot visualization.
- Scope click adjustment calculations (MOA/MIL).
- User account system for saving and loading personalized shooting profiles.
- Bullet database integration with AI-powered search for quick data entry.
- Quick Range Card generation and PDF export.
