I'm sure there's better out there, but Strelok Pro got me through a LOT of PRS matches.

Yep, I guess it is.

A quick Google says the US Gooberment banned it because it was developed and maintained by a Rusky citizen.

Thank GOD A'MIGHTY the feds saved us all from such an evil ballistics app.

One guy I shot PRS with suggested "Shooter". I'll probably look at that if it's available for android.

Ballistic apps are worthless without trigger time. For god's sake, get out there and SHOOT!

Absolutely, but hoping it would help save some ammunition. Wanted to use it as a guide.

Shooter is good, but I prefer Ballistic:AE. The only downsides to AE are that it’s only available for iOS and that updates and support seem to have waned in recent years.

I’ve used just about all of them, and AE is still my favourite.

Yep. It makes it easy to play β€œwhat if?”
What if I was at 10,000’? What if I sighted in at 250 vs 200? What if I sighted in 2 1/2” hi at 100 vs 2”? Etc.

There is no replacement for legitimate trigger time.

The truth about ballistic calculators is: garbage in, garbage out.

If your inputs aren't correct, then you're just pissing up the proverbial rope, no different than guessing. They are another tool in a bag of tricks and when used correctly in conjunction with good glass can be the difference between 1st round hits at extended ranges, and just poke & hope.
