Environment and Atmosphere

Ballistic solutions depend on current conditions, not just your rifle and load. Temperature, pressure, humidity, density altitude, and wind all affect how the bullet flies.

Set the environment manually

1. Open your ballistic profile.
2. Open the environment or atmosphere controls.
3. Enter the current Temperature, Pressure, and Humidity.
4. Add wind speed and direction if you want a more complete solution.
5. Save the changes and review the updated holds.

Use connected weather data

If you use a supported weather sensor, Shot Insights can bring in live conditions for you. See Integrations for the supported options and setup steps.

What density altitude means

Density altitude is a quick way to describe how dense the air behaves. Higher density altitude usually means thinner air, which changes drag and can shift your solution.

When to update conditions

• When the temperature changes meaningfully
• When you move to a different elevation
• When the pressure changes
• When wind conditions are changing

Tips

1. Refresh conditions before a long stage or a long-range shot.
2. Use live sensor data when conditions are moving quickly.
3. Review the terms in the Glossary if you want a refresher on DA, hold, or wind inputs.
