Ballistics

A ballistic profile is the setup Shot Insights uses to calculate a firing solution for your rifle, load, and zero. Once you have a profile, you can use it across features like QuickSight, QuickShot, Range Cards, Long Range, and Sessions.

Three ways to create a profile

1. Start with the Bullet Library when you want the fastest setup.
2. Use Simple Profile when you already know your basic load data and want a quick manual entry.
3. Use Advanced Profile when you want more control over details like drag model, twist rate, and bullet length.

What goes into a profile

• Your cartridge and bullet
• Muzzle velocity
• Zero range
• Reticle units
• Current environment or connected weather data

After you create a profile

1. Open it and confirm your zero range, muzzle velocity, and reticle units.
2. Add weather on the profile or pull it in from Sensors and Integrations.
3. Review charts, compare profiles, or true the profile after real-world shooting data.
