New Ballistics App for Android OS Smart-Phones
Bryan Litz, author of Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting, informed us that sophisticated new ballistics software is now available for Android OS phones. While there are ballistics programs that run on iPhones, as well as programs for Palm or Windows PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), Bryan believes that the new Ballistics App, called SHOOTER, is the first such program for Android operating system (OS) products — such as Motorola’s Droid phone and Google’s new Nexus phone.
Bryan explained: “The SHOOTER App can be found in the Google marketplace by searching for ‘Ballistics’. I became interested in this program when I got my Android phone. There are several good programs out there for iPhones and PDAs. But SHOOTER is the first program I know of for Android. In my opinion, it won’t be topped by anything else. If you have an Android smartphone, I highly recommend checking out this application. The program is easy to install and run. Outputs are available as a single-shot solution or as a table. There is a ‘Lite’ version of SHOOTER that you can download for free, and the ‘full’ version is $9.99.”

The new “Shooter” Program for Android OS has an impressive list of features:
- G1 and G7 BC capability, with the option to input ‘velocity banded’ BCs.
- Angle Compensation (Up or Down Angle can be measured using the built-in inclinometer).
- Bullet Library which includes Litz-measured “true” BCs.
- Rifle and ammo profiles (for storing load info for all your guns).
- Atmosphere effects (pressure, temp, and humidity).
- Spin drift (requires bullet length and twist rate inputs).
- Coriolis effect (works best with GPS-equipped Android phones).
Bryan revealed: “I was heavily involved in the development of this program and can vouch for the accuracy of the solution. The actual solver is very similar to the one used in my programs and in the JBM online Ballistics Program. SHOOTER’s calculations normally match my numbers and JBM’s numbers within round-off error (0.1″ at 1000 yards).”

Does it work when you are not connected to wi-fi?
It will work with no internet or cell service.
I’ve just started using it, but a couple of hours ago applying the solution supplied for a 226-yard shot in a 10 mph wind from 2 o’clock, enabled me to drop a crow with a single shot… from a standing, unsupported position… with a .17 HMR.
Yes, I was surprised too!!!
(BTW it works fine w/o a wi-fi or cell signal)
P.S. I know the above-mentioned shot was a fluke, but without the “Shooter” solution I’d never even have got close.
Does the software output the ballistics tables in MOA only or will it also support mils? Is there a limit to the number of range intervals? For example can it output data for 10 yard intervals to 1000 yds instead of 25 yard intervals?
Will shooter work on the Android tablets? I am wanting to get a tablet with Android 2.1 on it and am wanting to use shooter on it.
Hi!
Check out STRELOK application! Very, very precise application! Using on PC for more than 5 years – very good!
AND FOR FREE and without any adds!
I would love for this to work on the Palm Pre. I did a search for the application, no dice. I would gladly pay 10 bucks for this if it came available!
How do you get it to calculate in metres?
Don’t bother keying in all the URL into the search box or trying to scan that tiny little QR code. Damn program won’t download on/after 09-18-13! Looks like they took this one off. I KNEW it was too good to be true for ‘free’!!! I guess you have to PAY for something like this that, just like peolple on welfare, doesn’t work as well or even at all!!
Editor: You are referring to an App Announcement from 2010 — three years ago. I wouldn’t get too upset. There are other apps that have become available for Android in the past three years.
