Morgan, UT –-(AmmoLand.com)- iPhone users can now download Winchester® Ammunition’s award-winning Ballistics Calculator for free.

Winchester has taken all of the features and functionality from its Web site version of the Ballistics Calculator and developed a user-friendly interface for the iPhone.

The iPhone version of Winchester’s Ballistics Calculator will allow users to choose their type of ammunition and compare up to three different Winchester products with easy-to-read, high-tech ballistic charts and graphs.

You can customize shooting conditions by entering wind speed and outside temperature, adjust zero marks for sighting in.

The Web based calculator is also live at www.winchester.com/ballistics.

“With so many of our customers using iPhones these days, it’s only fitting that we provide this feature to them,” said Brett Flaugher, vice president of domestic and international marketing and sales for Winchester Ammunition. “Having the Ballistics Calculator plugged into your iPhone while you’re at the range, or in the field will be a valuable tool. Users will be able to plug in conditions, test their ammo and then make adjustments, if necessary.”

Winchester teamed up with Quilogy, a St. Charles, Missouri-based IT and Marketing consulting company, to develop the state-of-the-art ballistics calculator for the iPhone. The Winchester ballistics calculator for the iPhone was designed to leverage the latest iPhone technology, such as the touch and tilt features; providing Winchester customers with a rich end engaging experience.

Remember the Wind During Long Range Shots

ONALASKA, Wis. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Whether it’s a stiff breeze on a 300+ yard shot or a howling gale on a 75 yarder, wind drift can be a real shot spoiler.

Caliber, bullet weight, distance and wind speed all combine to determine bullet impact. Some scope reticles, like the Weaver® EBX™ feature wind drift marks to help shooters decide where to hold on windy days.

If you hunt in windy country, practice in wind and make sure you understand how wind affects your bullet flight

Check out the Online EBX Ballistic Chart.
