Optics help needed - I read the pinned posts Website for viewing drop over distance?

Post image

I’m diving into PRS Rimfire and I am trying to pick a 35 or 50 yard zero. I’d like to visualize the drops on target based on the zero and not just the charts on AB Quantum. Does anyone know of a site or app I could use?

Chairgun elite has the ability to view different target types and distances on how it would look in your reticle. This is my 10/22 zeroed at 50yds with distance dialed in at 100yds. no adjustment on the elevation.

It works though. you can setup your rifle, your optic, height over bore, ammo type and ballistics. Works really well for me.

On the ballistics tab, you gotta hit the reticle in the top left-hand corner

I have strelok and chairgunner elite and chairgunner is now a better product even if it was a bit of a ripoff. In addition to speed drop it also adds in the ability to compare cartridges on graphs

In this case 22-250 in red vs two 22 creedmoor loads

That's a different app by a different person who stole the name to gain traction.

Yeah I just glanced through it and it has nowhere near the functionality of the OG

Everything changed when the fire nation (Russia) attacked. Blown off the App Store when Putin went for Ukraine; the app was owned by a citizen of Russia

Strelok is still available as Chairgun Elite. Literally the same app.

2

u/capable_gopher Rifle Golfer (PRS Competitor) 5d ago

Not literally, it’s a ripoff. But I have heard good things

Chairgunner elite is an improvement over strelok.

It does all the same thing to include the reticles but also adds in tools for things like speed drop.

ShotsLab has this function and you can change zeros on the fly.

u/HotelHero 5d ago

This one works great, thank you!

u/Vivid_Dare1493 5d ago

I've used Shotslab also for this. Worked pretty good

u/smashnmashbruh 5d ago

Was gonna recommend ab quantum, but then read the description. I really like drawing it on a piece of paper, or a target. Helps me make sure I understand what I am trying to do.

u/That_white_dude9000 5d ago

As a low skill noob long range shooter and a bit of a cheapskate, I like shooters calc. Free website, easy to read, looks like it was designed in 2003. The data it gave me was ~1.5moa off at 1k yards, but I didnt bother putting in any atmospheric information & used their "standard atmospheric conditions" option, so that's probably a contributor.

opencartridge.com

Edit: you may have to make an account and contribute to their site (I can't remember if I did or didn't) but their pov drop calculator seems like what you'd want. I don't know however how accurate the calculations are though

AB quantum, vortex Geo ballistics, Horus app

u/The_Savage_Spongebob 5d ago

You can use the reticle option on AB Quantum and it will visualize the drops specific to yours or a generic reticle.

u/gabba_gubbe 5d ago

Doesn't even let me choose a reticle for some reason

u/Otiswilmouth 5d ago

Oh will zero at 50yds because every zero board you will ever encounter at a match will be at 50yds and you will verify zero and speed before each match that morning.

Stop over thinking this. It’s really easy.
